At that time I felt like "Is there such a thing?" Intel has provided the fastest CPU to Apple to think that it may be "real" if you are watching the recent flow.

And this announcement came, but this3.0 GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon "Clovertown"It boasts an overwhelming speed. Although it is stated as 8 cores, the contents are set to 4 × 2 = 8 by installing two CPUs of these four cores.

At the official site of Intel there is no information about this 3.0 GHz quad core Intel Xeon "Clovertown" at the moment, and the fastest of the 4 core processor Xeon 5300 series is 2.33 GHz of "Xeon E 5344". It may be updated in the meantime, but it really is obvious that we are offering the fastest CPU with top priority.
