Yes but according to Walter – a new Xeon with up to 12 cores so still pretty powerful.

In looking at the current ATI product line there is nothing quite like what Apple is talking about here as far as horsepower – I’m assuming the graphics are also bleeding edge and meant to give us some future-proof comfort. Also, The ATI Fire line supports true 10bit output like Quadro so along with Thunderbolt 2 and HDMI 1.4 built in, we may finally have 10bit output with no additional I/O needed.

I don’t remember saying a ship time on new FCPX only that the team was working on new features to take advantage of new performance of Mac Pro.

Sounds good to me – though it’s probably an expensive chip?

That’s why I splurged on the top of the line iMac a few months ago – makes the wait a little easier 🙂 Speaking of which, I’m looking forward to Mavericks just as much as the new Mac – the Multiple Display and Tags updates alone are fantastic… jeez I’m sounding like an Apple fanboy, better stop by the Microsoft store later.

I already answered this is another thread but yes – this is a new Mac and this is an Apple FCPX forum so I’m comparing Apples to Apples.
I use both Macs and PC’s daily and build my own Windows workstations and fully understand trying to future proof with upgrades etc. It’s easy to walk into a Fry’s and take home the latest graphics card and throw it in my PC – never been easy with Macs. That said I love my new iMac and the simplicity of nice clean USB and Thunderbolt ports not to mention no noise and no heat! I look forward to a new Mac Pro when they’re available.

Upgrade to what? If you max out your BTO MacPro you’ll have 4,000 cores for graphics and be able to run dual 4K displays! (we now know a 4K Cinema Display is right around the corner)
I can’t imagine this thing only having a 2 year work life – I still have a 2.1 (2007) that I can edit on no prob if need be.
Come on, If you really need something better/faster in 2 years that means you’re very busy doing uber high-end work and can afford a passle of the latest and greatest iteration any time you like.

Who said it is the end all, be all? Just hilarious all the complaints yet I’ll bet no one is running anything close to this in their workplace/home.
How powerful or expandable does a machine need to be? And if all you whiners really want/need lots of slots and upgradeability then just switch to a PC… simple. With a Windows machine you’ll always have first access to the latest and fastest graphics cards, memory etc. You can run Resolve, Premiere, Avid, Pro Tools, Vegas etc etc and never need to come to this forum again since you’ll never be running FCPX… 🙂
