After a brief outage the Apple Store is back with the previously announced 12-core Mac Pro (and revamped quad- and 6-core models) ready to order. Prices start at $4,999 for a pair of 6-core Xeon Westmere procesors humming along at 2.66GHz, 6GB of memory, a 1TB hard drive, SuperDrive, and ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics

12-core Apple Mac Pro orders are go
You know things are changing when cooling units that could once stave off overheating on top-tier graphics cards are starting to show up on motherboards . EVGA’s Classified SR-2 is a supersized , dual-socket desktop building block that tries to do it all, and — unusually for dual-CPU logic boards — it’s targeted at enthusiasts rather than buttoned-down business types. Four PCI-Express x16 slots, room for a dozen memory sticks (up to 48GB of RAM), and two USB 3.0 ports add some spec sheet glamor, but you’ll likely be wanting to know how much performance you can wring out of two 3.33GHz Intel Xeon 5680 chips working in tandem.

So shall it be written , so shall it be done. The Mac Pro has at long last proven rumors of its impending refresh accurate, as Apple has just updated its most powerful hardware with even more grunt. As we’d heard previously, that means you can now get dual-CPU rigs that offer a full dozen cores to play with, courtesy of Intel’s Xeon server-class chips, though in order to get in on that game you’ll have to splash a cool $4,999 entry fee.

Remember EVGA’s seven-GPU motherboard monstrosity , the W555? That experimental beast of a board just got declassified — and given immediate launch orders. Under the new “Classified SR-2″ callsign, the board’s layout has hardly changed since CES (though the heatsinks certainly got a makeover) but the big news here is that each of its two CPU sockets will support that fancy new Intel Core i7-980X six-core processor

Think CrossFireX is nifty? We’re betting you’re a big fan of SLI , huh? For those who grew up bragging about their “dual Voodoo” setup, there’s nothing in the world that can stop you from lusting over this bad boy.
