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.
