Mac Pro new design spotted for tomorrow - Real or Fake?

[Sean Dempsey]

I am not an expert on shoop da woops, but this looks legit to me. I heard the backstory on the picture - it checks out.

Could this be the new Mac Pro we've all been waiting for?

Trolololoooooooolololololoooooo

Um, DUH!

This looks just like a bunch of Mac Minis stacked on top of each other. Clearly a photoshopped craprender. LOL

 

[saxon48]

Sadly, 'tis fake. I hope they update soon though.

 

[Aldaris]

LOL!

Thanks for the giggle in these dark, dark times...

Oh my gawd, THIS IS THE ONE!

Everyone, get those wallets ready!

WardC is not very good at playing along with trolls.

 

[Blu-Ray]

yep, that checks out with my sources. Probably shouldn't let the cat out but... but what the heck... it has a BTO BR option too.

That's what I was thinking!
But you have to cut the guy some slack. Since it's been over a year since an update, he is having to photoshop it on ancient hardware.

Nah, count 'em...17 cores on that mama. Odd number is very un-Apple.

It's the new OSX blade server, and each blade is 2 cores... so it's 2x17.

 

[WardC]

How about this?? This is my own artist rendition. Tell me how you like it!!

BTW, 2 audio-out ports, 3 USB 3.0 ports, 2 FireWire 800 ports on front. Cheers!

Aqua, like Mac OS X

I wouldn't mind 2x Blu-Ray recorders myself. Combine that with some decent backup software (Retrospect) and I have a decent way to bare metal restore critical stuff.

 

[VirtualRain]

Well, if that's it, then it's equivalent to 17 Mac Mini's which means it's a 34 core beast with 17 Nvidia 320M GPU's, 68 USB ports, and 34x500GB drives in RAID0. With 34 DDR3 RAM slots, it should hopefully put those complaints to rest! However, the value freaks won't be happy that it costs about $17K!

Perfection...

 

[strausd]

Perfection...

Those bottom two 2.5"???

 

[jjahshik32]

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

[JesterJJZ]

Those bottom two 2.5"???

Sure! The sleds accept both sizes!

 

[mwayne85]

WOW! 17 mac minis glued together! Brilliant! This is going to be the best Mac pro ever!! Let's see... 17 mac minis... $699 x 17 = $11883! Hey! That's not bad for a pro machine!

 

[UltimaLink]

This Changes Everything. Again.

 

[Deepshade]

Makes a mockery of Macrumors

 

[Major Reeves]

Perfection...

Replace the 2x6 pin connectors for 4x8 pin connectors.
Also the raid card would't fit with the hd sleds 5 and 6 installed.

 

[wonderspark]

Perfection...

Is the GPU missing? No RAID card or GPU seem to place this machine outside my circle of perfection. (Snicker)

A stackable/swappable computer could actually be pretty kick ass. Think of a lightning fast spinal cord interface connecting all the devices together. Each module housing a specific component of the computer (processor, ram, hard disk, optical drive, video card). Want to add more processors or hard drives? Easy, just stack a new module on top.
