Is it not going to be the 2014 mac pro really?

I guess you're right... Let's just call it the 6,1 . (Thread title updated)

That's better!

No, it will still be the "2013 Mac Pro" Shipping date is unimportant. Date of availability to order counts.

Haha, exactly - although they may as well have just started taking pre-orders months ago

These are not reviews but maybe helpful in figuring out which config to order...

iMore - What Options Should You Get

Mac Performance Guide - Which CPU and GPU

Marco.org - Turbo Boost and the new CPUs

Architosh - What's a D300, D500, and D700?

Any other good articles out there?

Thanks these links are useful, though I still can't decide between 8 core and 12 core

i will review. my verdict is that it is a good computer and it looks nice

purchase if you are looking for a very powerful apple desktop computer in the $3000-$10000 range and the iMac and Mac Mini are not suitable.

We should get more detailed reviews later on.

i review that the mac pro is a good computer and looks nice

if you are looking for an apple desktop with more power than the mac mini around the $3000 - $10000 mark then this is the computer for you

Apple releases it's first bug fix

Notice the specific Bootcamp mention, so that is definitely supported.

"Suffice to say, we've already seen it play back 16 simultaneous 4K streams in the new version of Final Cut Pro, with zero waiting time as effects were applied to the original footage."

I'm so surprised its bootcamp related

What I really want to know is if you buy the Hex Core, if the processor can be upgraded down the line by a user. Same for the Video Cards.

The Video Cards will need some legit Apple Support, but I am hopeful that the CPU can just be lifted and upgraded if needed
