Mac has dropped the ball by not installing i7 cores into their top of the line machines.

Huh?

The core i7-980x that you have (3.33GHz 6 core) IS in the top of the line macs. You can even go further and have 12 cores...

Two 2.93GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon ?Westmere? (12 cores) [Add $3,475.00]
The Westmere are the i7-980x's - aka core i9

To have had the exact same setup ie the 3.33 GHz 6 cores would have cost you $4200
