We've been waiting for Intel's six-core, 12-thread Gulftown CPU to appear in Apple's Mac Pro, but though there's still no sign of that, the Cupertino, California-based company has added a selection of new configuration options to its high-end workstation.
The already-impressive system can now be equipped with a range-topping quad-core 3.33GHz Intel Xeon W5590 processor, as well as 2TB 7,200RPM hard disk drives.
Useful upgrades to have, but Apple's high-end options do come at a lofty cost.
Making the jump from a 2.66GHz Xeon processor to the new 3.33GHz part will set you back £960, whilst upgrading from a 640GB hard drive to a 2TB alternative will demand £280.
Each additional 2TB hard drive is then charged at £440 apiece.
