Mactel with 4 physical CPUs?

Some people need to read the *&%^ing article. The screenshots show 4 physical CPUs and _8_ logical CPUs. That's 4 dual cores, not 2.

Question is, will Apple actually sell a quad Mac... and for how much?

Nothing to see here. It's just a representation of two hyperthreaded procs. OSX86 saw both cores on my, erm, my _friends_ HT P4. If you have Windows Server installed on a Dual Xeon box (say a DL380), it'll show for CPU utilization graphs.

More probably, they are Xeon processors as P4s are not multiprocessor capable, unless someone came out with a chip that kludges four P4 processors to work together.

a) they aren't 2.6ghz. they're 2.8ghz (2.79 according to about this mac) b) obviously there will be multi-processor mactels, and if darwin can address them now, that does lend some credence to these screenies.

Steve said a while back that you can't hook 2 P4s together. This can't be real.

File this one under, "This one goes to eleven".

do you mean two dual-core pentium Extreme (dualcore + hyperthreading) processors...? either way, this rocks. however hardmac will have to pull the pic though, i don't think apple will let it last long especially if powermac ppc g5s are announced in just over a day's time.

Chances are, this is a mactel with two dual-core pentium D processors. Whether its apple made or not is beyond me.
