I'm ready to pull the trigger on the Base model (SSD 1TB though), I have a Xeon W-3175X on my Windows machine, any chance this CPU would work on the 7,1 MP? Considering swapping it. This benchmark apparently confirms it. https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/774516
Should be doable, the socket is the same.
Note the reduced PCIe lanes, higher TDP though: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/compare.html?productIds=193752,189452,193749
Im in Australia. My Mac Pro shipping info is wired, it uses TNT ship from UK, but the destination is also UK(should be australia), also it shows 5 items?

I live in Australia too, and get regularly get CTO Macs and stuff shipped from China through TNT.
The problem is just that TNT frequently messes up their tracking numbers. So your screenshot is probably not your package at all.
Try keying your shipment number directly into:

if you dig around for an alternate match, you'll most likely find your package is currently at Pudong International Airport (outside Shanghai), due for delivery in Australia on 23 December 2019 before 18:00.

thanks a lot, I have called apple, they said will aks for me, because apple sms tell me will come 24 DEC
I’m in Australia and also got shipping notification for December 24th. I dare say we will be the first lot of nMP’s in OZ. My wife will be delighted that I am receiving it on Christmas Eve!!
Well, I received the Pro Display and Pro Stand today and the stand is bent. Looks like an issue where the hinge attaches to the stand back. It creaks a bit too when you move the display up & down. I'm worried that it will break so I took the display back off and called Apple for a replacement. Had to sit on the phone for 1.5 hours and they said I will receive an e-mail with the replacement shipping info. Well, I just got that email and unfortunately the replacement order is showing that it won't deliver for 56 days so I have a useless display for now. Ugh.

Thanks for those images. It helped me get a better understanding of the computer before I order.
I just got this exact configuration, delivered on Friday. The 16 core configuration with single Vega is the sweet spot in the current BTO lineup. Added 128GB of aftermarket RAM for about $700, a SATA chassis for 10Gb of "slow storage" and an extra 2TB NVMe on a PCI card for activities needing the storage speed.
What was your approximate order-to-delivery time? Did it come in earlier than Apple's initial BTO estimate?
Not that I'm anxious or anything.

I got the exact same configuration. It was ordered on 10 December and delivered December 17th.
I ordered on Dec 18th (late at night).
-16 Core
-580x (add 2x Radeon VII)
-32GB (replacing with 192GB)
-2TB
Yesterday (21st) my card was charged
Today (22nd) it’s moved to “ready to ship”.
The estimated arrival still says Dec 30th-Jan 7th. I’m guessing I’ll easily get it before the 30th though?

After a decade of wanting to own a Mac Pro from the early 2000 generation, I finally picked up a 2008 model. I was looking for a 2009 or 2010 model but it just worked out with the price ($200 CAD) and seller. Locally people want over a $1000 CAD for these popular models, which I understand. People have invested a lot of upgraded hardware in them.
Specs are very good with the 2008 model I got tonight. Runs very fast on 10.11.6. Though I know very little about what can be done with these systems from Youtube, it would be nice to know how I can run some later OSes. But I guess I'll start reading the forums tonight!
