What do you do for a living that a 12-core machine is too slow? I'm claiming *************
At least my toy has Thunderbolt. Lmao.
Will it still get a bloated price with subpar hardware like all the other Mac Pros have in the last 4 years?
And the new Apple Thunderbolt display with USB 3 and hopefully with matte screen option, even if more expensive. Because it is a health and productivity issue for millions.
It is hard to define what is "Assembled in the US and what is "Made in the US". Lots of people buy boxes of Chines parts and stuff them into a case, assembling their own computer on the kitchen table.
What percentage of the parts have to be made in the US for the whole product to be considered to have been made in USA?
I laugh when I see the Mac Book Pro's benchmarks which are like 25% of the power I get on my 2010 Mac Pro.
I got 2 LED Cinema Displays, 1TB Mercury Accelsior PCI-e SSD Drive that gives me 700MB/second Read speeds, plus 6 additional Internal HD's, PCI-e USB 3.0, FireWire 800 and 32GB of RAM. Oh yeah, I removed the CD drive and hooked up a 480GB SSD instead.
Try to upgrade an iMac or Mac Book...
Mac Pro is the only REAL Professional Mac. The rest are toys...
average ssd speed 5-600. you could have one drive and it would do almost 3 times better than your raid.700MB/s??!!!??! What do you have, striped SSDs? My 2008 Mac Pro gets 200MB/s read/write with 2 striped 7200RPM HDDs.
from $11,499.00
"-Mac Pros are easier to build and customize than any other Apple product"
Giving Americans the easy job, eh? Racist!
jk
... the Mac Pro is such a low-volume, heavy beast that building large #s of them in China and shipping them by boat or air mailing almost every mac pro sold is a losing venture. They assemble them in the US so that they can get it delivered to a customer rather cheaply w/o having to sit on large piles of unsold finished product. They also used to make the XServes in the US too, but obviously that ended w/ the XServe....
...
It would be even better to NOT have it built by Foxconn. Company of suicide nets and worker riots.
What I actually want:

DVD's will be gone in 2 years... CD's are already obsolete...
13" 2012 MacBook Pro
Think it'll have no optical drive, proprietary SSD, a mobile CPU, and soldered in RAM?
Well isnt that just fine and flipping dandy, isnt it? cause NO ONE BUYS MAC PROS!!

You might want to look at this - http://browser.primatelabs.com/mac-benchmarks
The 2010 MacPro with 8 cores is essentially the same speed as a Retina MacBook Pro with 4, yes 4, cores. Just a hair faster. So an 8 core i7 would pretty much smoke that machine. But yeah, a 12 core, with multiprocessor aware apps, sans apps like FCP X, will be closer to double a retina mbpro.
Basically, the MacPro has stood still for so long that i7 mobile processors are starting to catch up with only half as many cores. If they put in newer xeons it would truly be smokin'.
700MB/s??!!!??! What do you have, striped SSDs? My 2008 Mac Pro gets 200MB/s read/write with 2 striped 7200RPM HDDs.

lacie claims 635 with an ssd on thunderbolt.

raid them for even better performance but it seems it maxes out at 800. stick that on a macbook pro/air/iMac and lookie lookie.
just going by a couple manufacturers stats.
This actually makes sense. Shipping a single Mac Pro from China must cost about the same as a dozen laptops, and two dozen Minis. Whatever the extra costs are to assemble them in the US will be balanced by the savings in shipping. Which is sorta what foidulus was saying, I think... (below)....
You mean the company that has a lower suicide rate than the US?
500-600 doesn't seem realistic, judging by results I get when searching for SSD benchmarks. I found a YouTube video of a Mac Pro with an SSD that gets around 250MB/s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt_xtlYyLeQ

Oh, I see. That's intense.

Ok, 3 yearsYou and me both buddy...

Except not...they just stopped making VHS what 2 years ago? Both will still be around 10 years from now I guarantee.
12 hours a day? I think more...
The Koreans have a system called "warm bed". The bed is always warm because when a worker wakes up, the next one is waiting to take that bed. They share the beds and work over 16 hours a day... Poor people...

see?
I guess my toy (a 27" 2011 BTO iMac built with the following specs: 3.4GHz quad-core Core i7, 2GB AMD Radeon 6970m, and 16GB RAM) is able to run all of my apps simultaneously with no problems, batch process a few hundred photos in minutes, encode video and audio very quickly, run my RAID setup, run my digital life, be a mini-theater system, and look good on my desk just isn't cut out for professional level work. Ok.
