[Chris Harlan] "So E3 would not be used?"

The big difference is E3 does not support dual sockets (dual CPUs). The predecessor to the E3, the 3000 series, was never used in a Mac Pro. Apple could use it, but it would mean the Mac Pro (or whatever) would be going down-market from where it has been thus far.

[Chris Harlan] "So we can go back to "Why aren't they using Sandy Bridge?""

That's the waiting game. HP will ship theirs next month. Probably other OEMs too. In 2010, it took Apple till July to refresh the Mac Pro, despite suitable 5000 series Xeons hitting the market that March.

Best,
Andy
