Mac Proで8CPU認識しましたという話。

参照：8-Core Mac Pro (Clovertown)

#slashdot.orgで先で記事が出てましたが。

AnandTech took a Mac Pro, which comes with two Dual-Core Xeon (Woodcrest) processors and replaced them with samples of two Quad-Core Xeon (Clovertown) processors.

実際はDualCorex2のCPU構成であるMacProにCPUのピン互換があるQuadCorex2のCPUを
載せてみたという技術的にはそれほどな話かもしれません。

The Mac Pro appeared to run fine with the Quad-Core processors, effectively giving them a 8-Core machine. While they are unable to give performance numbers due to non-disclosure agreements, the machine was reportedly stable. It also gives hope for current Mac Pro owners that they will be able to later upgrade the processors on their machine in the future. Clovertown Quad-core processors are expected to be available in late 2006.

MacProは正常動作を続けたらしいですが、性能スペックは教えませんとのことです（ｹﾁ

QuadCore自体は2006年の後半に出るらしいので、年内ぎりぎりというところ
でしょうか？

#ノートPCのCPUも手軽に換装できたらなぁ。
