There seems to be some mis-informations going on here.

First off the reason I say the current MacPro isn't much faster than a 2010 MacPro is because the old MacPro's had Two 6 core processors in...

Denem... This would be true if they upgraded the MacPro in 2014. Here we are 2 years later at the same pricing for something that is completely outdated. Of course they won't sell but Apple will...

The mini may be great to some but us power users have been really left in limbo. I do 3D renderings where every ounce of processing power counts. I was ecstatic when they released the new MacPro...

I can't understand why anyone would choose to be tracked when there are so many alternatives. I would rather suffer using what they call "other" than use Chrome.

Thanks Charles, but my point is that the upgrade is an actual down grade. I bought one of the new 8 core mac pro's to see how it compares with what we have and like I mentioned, the machines that I...

I had a 1,1 for ages which I upgraded to octa-core two years ago, only sold it earlier this year when the 2012 i7 Mac Mini pushed bits faster than it ever could. I love the slab-side Pro.

I am in a similar position that you are in except I have mid 2010-12 core 2.66, which was the mid range at the time. I do 3D work so I require max CPU. I found that the sweet spot was always the...

If using OpenCL is as good as they say it is, I sure do hope so. The problem with this type of software package is that they are normally huge and most of the time have a window's version. This...

@Ikrupp. I am a pro user, not a troll and I was looking so forward to getting a new mac pro but it just isn't going to happen. The problem is the price is all dependant on if your software takes...

@hayesk. Right now I don't have anything major for PCIe cards. Just a USB 3 card and a video capture card. I know that USB3 is included and that I can easily get an external capture box but I am...

@ chas_m.... Your point that I am making a number of presumptions is a fair one. Like you, I am assuming that the 12 core is going to cost an arm and a leg. It could only be $500 more (LOL!) and...

@ James. Like I mention I buy MacPro's every couple of years so I know they are expensive. I own many companies so money is not a problem, that does not mean I throw money around for no reason. ...

Although I love the New MacPro's, this is exactly what I was afraid of. The New MacPro's pricing is out of whack. I normally upgrade my Mac Pro every couple of years and for the same money, I...
