OSX 10.9.1 is available
-
if you take the six core model as base config I expect the D700’s will come with a $1250 pricetag. Considering the retail price (they’re essentially w9000’s) of about $6000 for a pair that’s pretty cheap.
That’s the strange thing about these rumoured prices, a 12 core xeon retails at about $2900, but to upgrade from a 6 core to a 12 core is $3000? That dog sure don’t hunt… And those $6000 GPU’s would come at a price of only 600 extra??
it’s always guessing but i’m guessing to go from 6 to 8 cores you pay $1000, and to go from 6 to 12 $2250 extra, perhaps a bit less. It is still strange when you compare that to the d700’s but Tim Cook was very outspoken about the deal they’ve got on those GPU’s.
ah well…. it’s already tuesday here 😉

In that case I don’t have a choice anymore: I just have to get those d700’s!
Also the extra 16GB of ram for $300 isn’t too bad. Starting to look a lot like christmas! 🙂
