The Mac migration assistant is absolutely one of the best pleasures of upgrading a Mac. And when the new models are out, the previously current model will be available used at a great savings.

along with all the bells and whistles...
It seems that the 7500 series Xeons will be out soon. That will give you 8 cores and 16 threads per processor..
It's likely these will be the new Mac Pro CPUs.
You will of course pay about twice what you should for Steve's special sauce edition. Hi ho.
Here is the new Mac Pro's competition. Well this is real sporty so maybe not.

Which you can buy now. The 5520 chipset is most probably what the Mac Pro will use. It's just an Intel server in real life. I will do the math when it appears to show the price difference which, as I said, is about twice usually.
Oh well wrong again. They went with the cheaper 5600 Xeons. You get a maximum of 6 cores for a possible 24 threads on the hypered dual processor.
The 8 core 7500s are $3000 so I guess it's not surprising. They appear to be 4 processor parts too.
You do get a reasonable video card instead of a joke though.
Prices are a bit hard as I have no good 5600 prices. I doubt they will be different than present 5500 though.
they have one 12 processors for $4999
Seems they launched today.
"Apple’s new Mac Pro line comes with up to 12 processing cores and up to 50 percent greater performance than the previous generation. Featuring the latest quad-core and 6-core Intel Xeon processors, all-new ATI graphics, and the option for up to four 512GB solid state drives (SSD), the new Mac Pro continues to deliver amazing performance and expandability for the most demanding consumers and professionals."

I posted the day Apple sent out a notice they were available in store,
someone asked a question, when do they hit the ground, I answered it.
They hit the ground in August sometime. You cannot buy a new one on their web store yet.
Anyway here is your 6 core processor:
