Here it is... the new Mac Pro



http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/

"Mac"... yes, definitely, but "Pro"...?!?

- closed system
- only 1 CPU with 12 cores (@ 1,86GHz ?)
- only 4 RAM slots
- only proprietary PCIe SSD (RAID?) no SATA SSD/HDD, only external via thunderbolt
- Dual GPU
- only ATI FirePRO

ah yes, i think the price will be pro-like

but it could be a nice heater for cold winter days, blowing the hot air upwards under the table



"...we call it the iBin...!"

Will it blend?

hihi

If so, ...

They sure know how to present something. Who knows, maybe now we'll immediately see copy cats going with the same design. It does make sense for many reasons, and it's a lot of power in a very small space. I think with dual GPU it's definitely better geared toward heavy video editing and not necessarily rendering, especially since they chose ATI.

Clever design. Hope they do a pro version.

apple is all about polarizing the crowd; definitely done a good job on this one.

the design is not new however, silverstone have one like this for a while

WOW!!! A leaked photo of Mac Pro!!!

Looks like dust build-up will be an issue.

Rounded corners are so over. The next iPhone will be like a thin hockey puck (black only, no more bright Apple products). You will have a round iWatch, iPod, iPad, iPhone, Mac Pro. It's gonna be revolutionary.

You're going to love the new MacBook, codename iClam & iClam Pro.

Hearing rumors on the inter webs that they might do a dual cpu version. That could be interesting.

Ha!

Actually, if they had an option for 3 modules...choose 2 gpu + 1 cpu or 2 cpu + 1 gpu, the 2 cpu one would be cooler.

275w tdp per FirePro
130-150w tdp for top end Xeon
