Apple Store error reveals 8-core Mac Pro?


TUAW reader Drew sent us a juicy tip: the UK online Apple Store is listing an 8-way Mac Pro under the search results for "mac pro." It reads "Now quad-core and 8-core processing power," however, if you click on the link it takes you to the standard Quad core page.

Given that the quad-core Intel chips have been available for a while now (and even installed in the Mac Pro by some enterprising souls), it was only a matter of time until this happened officially. Nonetheless, this looks like good evidence that a new Mac Pro is coming soon, and it wouldn't be the first time a website screw-up has revealed an upcoming Apple product.

Update 7:13p EDT: The UK Apple Store is currently in "Be Right Back" mode... presumably to correct the unintended information release.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
