Apple Launches Penryn-based Mac Pros
By: Jayesh Mansukhani   |   Jan 09, 2008

As Macworld slowly creeps up on us, Apple today took the time to announce new versions of their heavy-duty hardware namely the Mac Pro and Xserver, which come equipped with Intel’s new Penryn processors. Both these platforms come with two of Intel’s Xeon 5400 series quad-core processors which allows for 8-core performance, faster FSB speeds and memory, expanded PCI Express 2.0 expansion slots and up to 3 TB of storage. The new version of this server includes an unlimited client license for Mac OS X Server Leopard. Prices for the Xserve start at $3000.

In the upcoming Mac world, we just might see Macbooks based on Intel's new platform. A rumor doing the rounds is of a slim Mac laptop being unveiled. The category we are referring to is the slim-n-thin 12.1 inch laptops, which have come to be highly regarded by both wealthy people and high-end users. Apple, whose products are often described as trendsetters and style icons, will no doubt look to leap into this space.

Another popular rumor that we have already speculated on earlier is the introduction of a new flash-based Tablet that will sport OSX. Considering the massive interest in flash-based products and the quick ramping up of SSD based HDDs, it will only a matter of time before this product shows up too.

On the desktop side, Apple can be expected to update their existing iMac range. We should see multi-core becoming common place from the dual-core options and probably even a move to Nvidia’s new powerhouse 8800 GT.
