ZDNet is reporting that they have recieved word from people saying that Apple will release new Mac Pro models next Tuesday, adding a hexacore Core i7-based model to the Mac Pro lineup.

I'm getting tips in from sources who claim that Apple is set to revamp its high-end Mac Pro line, adding a 'hexacore' Core i7-980x model to the line up.

All information points to this happening next Tuesday, March 16th.

The last time the Mac Pro was updated was March of 2009.
