any news on new macs?

[Aristides Tiropolis]

The gulftown (nehalem) series is already out. Benchmarks show an incredible performance boost (lots of L2 Cache and 2 more processors help) Apple will definetely release this to the Mac Pro. Although at a probably steep price, the i7 desktop equivalent is at about 1000$ so we’ll see how will that translate to the XEON series (the only difference is ECC and multisocket support)If money isn’t the issue I would strongly suggest to wait.

Should be soon.
The last models are already more than one year old.

Thanks guys,

I’ll wait and go for a 12core Mac.

Why not wait for the 16 core, or the 42 core with the new Heart of Gold Improbability Drive?
There is also a rumor of the ‘Unicorn Dream’ series of processors that support telekenetic operation. I would hold out until those are released.

Scott,

Do you have a precise date for the Unicorn series? I’m charting a cost-benefit analysis for future equipment spending that goes out through the year 2017 and I have my eye fixed on those Unicorns.

David,
According to my source, a Mr. R. Scott. Look for the ‘Unicorn Dream’, sometime in 2019.

Darn, just out of range on my analysis. On the other hand, since the world ends in 2012, I guess one could argue that projecting more than two years out is pointless anyway.

Wait. I thought the world ended in Y2K?

David, I asked the Clancy brothers, and they can’t seem to find no unicorns.

Too bad. I really want the Heart of Gold Improbability Drive, but my Brownian Motion Generator will be cold by 2019 . . . .
