[Walter Soyka] “This would be very cool, but I’m not sure I see the business case for Apple pushing the envelope in performance computing anymore. I’d love to be wrong.”
If you spend some serious time with FCPX, and watch all the things it does most of it seemingly when you aren’t watching, a case could be made.
There’s a reason they kept the MacPro channel open. I’m dreaming big, I guess.

I do get that — there’s a dizzying amount of work that can be done in the background. I’m just not sure how many people will want to pay $8,000 for a workstation to do it “super-fast” (as my four-year-old would say) when they could pay $2,000 for an iMac that does it “regular-fast” (again, as my four-year-old would say).

I do sincerely hope I will be impressed by the 2013 Mac Pro, whatever it will be. Competition is a good thing, and I like to keep my options open!

I could go on about this.
I think FCPX is poised for much more than a few iMacs.
It is a whole new take on editing and transcoding. My beliefs are unpopular, and people can only see it for the magnetic timeline. It is much more than that.

Please do. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
I think we’ll find a lot of common ground. FCPX is built on a set of very modern and scalable core OS X libraries and technologies, and as such, I think it’s well-positioned to take advantage of whatever hardware improvements Apple chooses to implement.
Coming at this from my effects perspective, the performance of its 32b floating point processing pipeline on these “little” machines is really, really impressive. The sky is the limit on bigger machines.
I’d be really interested in what you would have to say from a more editorial perspective.
