Dude, really? Of course it is "The New Mac Pro". DUH! My comment was about it's features and according to the features this is a Mac Mini Pro... a box with external expansions.
The new Mac Pro is NUTS.

This is great. Fuck how it looks, its smaller, quieter and portable. If you must use PCI cards, get a chassis.
Bet the top end iMacs or minis could do a job even if you can't afford it.

Just reasearched a little. One of those FirePro W9000 graphic cards is $4000. The "old" (now available) Intel Xeon E5 8core is about $1900. There are also Xeons that are about $3500. The mainboards are very expensive as well $400 minimum. ECC RAM is also more expensive than consumer grade RAM.
I don't see how this will be even be at a similar price as the old Mac Pros now
Sure hope I'm wrong though.
Also makes me rofl at those people saying "I can build a Mac Pro for $1000". Right. Only the CPU is $1900-3500. But yeah go ahead and do it.
Yes you can build a very powerful machine but you won't build one with server grade CPU, RAM and especially graphic card.

delivers up to an amazing 7 teraflops of compute power.
7 TERAFLOPS!!!!
What the fuck is a teraflop
ter·a·flop
A measure of computing speed equal to one trillion floating-point operations per second.

What the fuck is a teraflop
Find out the way to calculate the operations your own computer can do in teraflops based on its specs, then compare to this new Mac Pro
Considering the new features of Mac OS X Maverick in terms of performance and energy saving, the headroom will be absolutely tremendous with this.
I am very curious about its evolution capabilities. You can chain whatever you want outside the box, but what about the CPU ? It looks like the memory is removable with ease but I am not sure about the CPU itself ?

FLOPS = cores * clock * ( FLOPS / cycle)
Recently FLOPS/cycle was around 5 or something but my bet is on this new design it must be tremendous.
The world record is in several petaflops now I believe, but these are not normal computers. A few Tera on your desktop was not even a dream a decade ago !

My video card specs say 1.28 teraflops. Xbox One gpu will have 1.23 teraflops supposedly, PS4 around 2, the highest end cards now have more than 3

Almost $2400 for that thing? Jeeze, these guys are almost as crazy as Apple on their price hikes.
I built a better PC than that for ~$800...

The fuck is a teraflop. Looks like an iphone-beercan insulator. This keeps my Coors 7 teraflops cooler than a regular insulator.
