That was not an announcement.He's probably referring to when they first said there would be a new mac pro eventually, which I think was in late 2017, so that's actually about 2 years.

900+ posts later and people still don’t get the /s tag.
Wrong. It's up.
The 2017 Mea Culpa was published in April 2017, so we’re at 32 months.He's probably referring to when they first said there would be a new mac pro eventually, which I think was in late 2017, so that's actually about 2 years.

It's online!
It's 12pm EST. He was right.Wrong. It's up.
Wouldn't surprise meEither 12PM EST OR 1PM EST would be my guesses based on past patterns.
Jaws of Life are also a very powerful tool.
They too exist purely to get people out of ****** situations.
Yeah ok, sure, if you say so. I dunno what your background is, but early in my career I managed windows PCs (some of them over ~64kbit ISDN lines I might add), and writing patches to set registry keys was absolutely a part of the job.
So... 18 months after the previous ones.. Not sure how you expect 12 month updates with CPUs that don't change that often, regardless of the CPU vendor.

That's interesting (I hadn't seen the slide of the rack mount version from the original announcement). I wonder how much it changes the layout of things. Clearly no top TB3 ports, and doesn't look like they're on the front either.

You're joking right? Even if you take the ridiculously hyperbolic estimate of $16K for a "usable" system, over a 5 year period that's $66 a week, allowing 4 non productive weeks a year and ignoring the residual value at the end of 5 years. If a business has a need for this kind of computing power but can't budget $66 a week for hardware, it's not "outside the top 1%", it's more likely on the verge of ****ing bankruptcy.
Here you go. Now, see if you can find a 2009 PC tower on sale. Oh and FYI... that's 200 pages worth that dates back to 2006 systems to current day systems. Now show me the PC equivalent.

Wonder if they’ll walk back the whole $999 stand thing
Dude, what's your point? Just so I'm clear, are you suggesting that PC actually have more long term value than Macs? Clarify because I'm confused as to what point you're failing to make.You are just showing me items for sale.
Still waiting for proof.
Hint: Show me data, reports, studies etc.

Yeah I was just guessing about twice the cost of the 4 GPU option, what that industry would be willing to pay to eliminate proxy workflows, and how few Apple would sell. (It’s an FPGA fwiw.)$20K seems a bit much for a ASIC accelerator card.
RED sold the RED Rocket for $7000, and that is RED, the company that out overprices Apple.
What was the rest of the config... Enquiring minds want to know
Well, a Dell machine with 28c and 1.5TB and dual RTX5000 is close to $95k. Didn't bother to put in SSDs.Well here’s my prediction. 28-core with 1.5 TB RAM, 4TB SSD, 2 x dual Vega II: $60k. Same config but 384GB: $40k. Afterburner: +$20k. 2 x XBR: +$12k.
So $92k. With 8.5% sales tax, $99,820. So you’re way over with your crazy estimate. ?
