I'm not a CPU buff, so I'll take your word for it! But I read the i7-980x are codenamed Westmere and I see the BTO Mac Pros use Xeon Westmere going up to 2x2.93GHz 6 core (ie 12cores), so I figure this "Apple dropped the ball in not adding i7s" is BS, since they did. Even more so if the Xeons are built for stability vis-a-vis i7s
