If only this were relevant to Apple. We can hope though.
It would be nice to see a new Xeon based Mac in a MacPro replacement.

I wonder how many folks read this topic with the dashed hope of seeing the words "Mac Pro" in amongst the paragraphs, with a relevancy to that rather than the general server scene, disappointingly.

The last time Intel announced new Xeons like this, new Mac Pros were announced within four days. This is good news!

I hope this bodes well in the very near future for Apple products. I saw way too much marketing text in this article to make that much sense out of it for the real world. Look at Macworld's own test results of the current iPad 2 and the original iPad 2. No real performance differences despite the current version having the latest 22nm tech in the current A5 chip and the original iPad 2.
I truly hope the wishes of leicaman and other commenters come true...
