Alan BakerRight. What will the dimensions actually be when people add the expansion they used to be able to put inside. More cables and money for an ugly Thunderbolt chassis to hold 1-4 PCIe cards, plus one for a RAID drive system. It will end up taking more physical floor space than the current Mac Pro.
<http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/>
Up to 12 cores, Xeon E5 processors.
Four channel, DDR3 1866MHz, ECC memory (60GB/s memory bandwidth)
PCIe gen 3 at 40GB/s
Twin AMD FirePro GPUs, able to support up to 3 4K displays.
PCIe-based Flash storage at 2.5 times faster than SATA-based flash.
Up to 36 peripherals at Thunderbolt 2 speeds (6 TB2 ports allowing 6 daisy-chained devices each at 20Gb/s)
Plus 4 USB3, HDMI 1.4, gigabit ethernet, and all ports light up for easier use when you turn the machine.
And 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0
All in a 10" high by 6.5" high cylinder.
Is one stuck with the AMD FirePro GPUs, no way to upgrade like the current Mac Pro?
Single Xeon processor? No dual CPU option like today?
One has to reach around to the back to turn the damn thing on and off?
How do you connect multiple monitors to it? Do the Thunderbolt ports double as DisplayPorts?
