The much anticipated and oft-rumored 8-core Mac Pro was unveiled by Apple today. Leaked multiple times through Apple’s online advertising, the model was long awaited.

Apple’s new 8-core Mac Pro is composed of two 3.0 Ghz Quad Intel Xeon processors, code named “Clovertown.” The base configuration of the 8-core Mac Pro debuts at almost US$4,000. This release may be in light of the special event Apple has announced for NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) where a special announcement, supposedly dealing with Final Cut or video production, is expected.

As well, Apple lowered the cost of their Cinema Display line. This could be because of recent competition with Dell Displays.

The prices are as follows:
20” Display: $599;
23” Display: $899;
30” Display: $1799;
