How will the new MacPro compare with a topped out 2012 27″ iMac
-
You are correct. The tubular design allows for more efficient cooling allowing computers to be faster and run hotter.

RIght, because 6GBs of dual GPU will have exactly zero effect on real time performance?

Of course not Jeremy, don’t you know anything? Jeez.

Relax on the offensive sarcasm. JKL cuts won’t push your processor or the GPU in that regard. We can go back and forth all day and list examples of “what ifs,” but why don’t we just wait and see how much real world impact it actually makes?

12 cores / 4 cores = 3 of something.
One GPU plus another GPU = 2 GPUs.
6GBs of video RAM vs 2 GBs of videos RAM = more bigger RAM

In FCPX’s case where pretty much everything real-time preview related is accomplished directly on the GPU, going from 2GB max GPU VRAM to 2 x 3GB in parallel should make a dramatic difference in your daily editing experience- on top of making final exports also on the GPU much faster. This would include faster previews of effects/transitions/titles, more real-time streams and at higher resolutions (i.e. 4K).
Resolve’s already doing this in version 10 and clearly the folks at Adobe have been optimizing for OpenCL as well. So not sure the concern that ‘1-2 years for other devs’ is that serious. Some of the big apps are already there or well on their way to optimizing for this new Mac Pro.

[Bernard Newnham] ” I’m just endlessly astonished at the way the Apple fanbois let the richest greediest company in the world use them. Stuff you read on here often sounds like those conversations you have with smokers, who always have a reason why they have to keep smoking. It isn’t of course, any kind of addiction or psychological kink. Someone wrote on here about cognitive dissonance an while back….bears researching.”
and I’m just endlessly astonished at the way some people insult other professionals who choose to use different kit to them.

Just as a first impression the design of the thing seems to me like it’s designed to be the centerpiece of a home media center, more than a workstation.

Sure, we can wait. Why don’t we wait?
I know that with multiple angles, logarithmic workflows with color transform, and audio filters, there is a lot more that needs to happen than simply hitting the space bar and playing back a single stream of unfiltered video. Have you played with FCPX much?
I would imagine this MacPro will be faster than an iMac at these day to day editing tasks, but I don’t know anything.
