No more 8 core Mac Pro?

3/4 correct. You can get also a 6-core model as an upgrade to the quad. You can buy 8-core MacPros from apple only as refurbs now, that's right.

We got the 8 core (dual 4 core) refurbed last November. At that time though, they were selling new 8 core models.

Point? Apple bumped the dual processor model from 2 - 4 core 2.4ghz to 2 -6 core 2.4ghz. So now you get the same speed of processors, but instead of 8 you get 12 for basically the same cost.....

And yes there are still refurbs that only have 8.

Still trying to figure out the issue in this thread?
