12 core macs coming?

[MinusTheBear]

Remember Lenovo build I posted before, well specs similarly to Mac Pro:
Processor : Intel Xeon X5650 Processor (2.66GHz 1333MHz 12MB Turbo SMT) - 95W 2
Operating system : Genuine Windows 7 Professional 64 1
Operating system language: Genuine Windows 7 Professional 64 - English 1
Form factor: Tower 7x9 Mechanical with Intel 5520 Motherboard 1
Memory speed: DDR3 ECC uDIMM PC3-10600 1333MHZ 1
Total memory: 12GB ECC DDR3 PC3-10600 SDRAM (2GBx6 uDIMMS) 1
First Video adapter: NVIDIA Quadro FX 580 32-core (512MB,DVI + DP) 1
Second Video adapter: NVIDIA Quadro FX 580 32-core (512MB,DVI + DP) 1
Audio adapter : Integrated Audio 1
Storage subsystem : SATA Enabled 1
Configuration option : Internal RAID - Configured by Lenovo 1
Primary array configuration: Primary SATA RAID 0 - (4 HDDs required) 1
Primary array hard drives: 1TB SATA 3.5" Hard Drive - 7200 rpm 4
First optical device bay: Lenovo 16x DVD +/- RW Dual Layer 1
Ethernet adapter : Dual Integrated Broadcom Ethernet 10/100/1000 1
Keyboards: Lenovo Preferred Pro USB Full Size Keyboard - US English 1
Country Pack: Line Cord - US - U, F, D, S, T, L, A Models 1
Publication Pack: Language Pack - English 1

Yes, I know Video card is different , but it costs about same

Bottom line: $7,394.00
With exactly same price, the preference at this point would end up with Software/OS preferences....

Now will you be able to apply future hardware upgrades to the 12 core Mac?

I figured they would be in line with other builds of similar configurations. They will be more than some, the same as some and less than some. There goes the "Macs always cost more myth"
