Right. And with Intel’s roadmap for the Xeon’s with TB & USB3 being this fall, it makes any rumours about an earlier launch that much more curious/suspect. But as you say, it all depends on what the guts will be.
I winder if there’s ANY alternatives to Xeon’s that would deliver comparable performance- considering how much of the work gets done on GPUs now. It’s obviously a detriment that Xeon’s seem to have this 1-2 year lag on improvements.
But I’d agree that based on what Intel announced today, the first iteration of whatever this new MacPro turns out to be is unlikely to ship with the nee 20GB/s version of TB.
