New Mac Pro Coming Soon?
I believe reduced inventory levels usually points to the fact that Apple is managing inventory for the introduction of a new model. As opposed to simply dropping a product all together.

Same in the UK store, choose a BTO option and it’s 1-3 weeks.

The quad and 8 core models are in stock. (US store) The 12 core is 1-3 weeks.
Changing processor, adding memory or a second hard drive changes all the in stock models to 1-3 weeks.
Sounds like house cleaning to me.

Perhaps not, seems like it’s a 1TB drive shortage issue, change the drive for a 2TB and BTO times drop to the usual 5-7 days. More wishful thinking!!!

The 12 core is 1-3 weeks without BTO.
Select another MacPro and change any BTO option and it’ll go to 1-3 weeks. It has nothing to do with with HDs.
That may mean Apple is changing the MacPro design which would mean new parts inventory replacing old.I’ll also add that it seems the 6 Core MacPro is gone completely. I don’t see it listed in US Apple Store. Just 4, 8, 12 core (dual 6).

If it is a new one I’m sure it will be just as innovative as the last 2 or 3 releases….. cheese grater box, updated MB to support a newer CPU, probably add Tbolt, maybe sataIII but don’t count on it, No USB3, No B-Ray for sure, maybe Nvidia card support but it will still have crappy driver support and will all cost 2x to 3x what an equivalent Win box. I’m a original apple fan boy but their MacPro line has become a joke of huge proportions.
Ho Hum…. nothing new…. move along.

“The six core is a configuration option off of the Quad Core build.

Shows 1-3 weeks. I thought it was a standard at one time but I could be wrong. 4, 6, 8, 12.

And they’re not selling. I doubt they’re going to continue a failed business model for the tower. It’ll either be better or different.

“As long as I have been contemplating a new Mac Pro purchase–which has been for some time–that’s where the 6 has been.

I agree. If you select 12 core and change it to an SSD, you get 2-4 days instead of 1-3 weeks.
Also, if you customize an Imac with a 2TB drive, the time goes to 1-3 weeks…. And changing it to a SSD drops it back down to 2-4 days…I dont think this BTO time increase means anything….
