Acronyms for the "new, new? Mac Pro"

[AkuskaUK]

Right,

So when this 'New' nMP is released. How should we all abbreviate it?

cMP = Classic / Cheesegrater 2006-2012
nMp = Garbage can

• "nnMp"?
• "New"nMP?
• "We f**ked up MP"?
• "pls no switch to windows MP"

Will the nMP be renamed to tMP (trash mac pro)?

mMp = modular Mac Pro
rMp = reinvented Mac Pro

Nothing inherently wrong with release year naming scheme, but the same generation might get bumps over a few years so you still want the 'generation' classification.

cMP, nMP, mMP and then if you wanted to cMP09 or mMP18 and mMP20.

Apple's own internal designation like 4.1, 5.1 and 6.1 sees quite a bit of use, but most people would probably figure out the actual model quicker if it said nMP13, as long as they had a basic understanding of what the abbreviation stood for in the first place.

Apart from that the obvious choice seems to be MacP0rn.

Mp09

Mp13
Mp23

LOL "MP23"


...I like to use the year as reference

cMP, nMP, pMP. The p stands for potential.
On release it will become the nMP and the old nMP will become the MPm. Mac Pro mini.

Or itaMP: is there a mac pro 2018

This thread wouldn't be needed if Apple would simply include some clue about the hardware version in the product name.

Note how saying "Z840" so quickly identifies a real workstation, and distinguishes it from a Z800 or Z820....

What's wrong with MP7,1?

What's wrong with MP7,1?

Once it arrives - nothing.

But you're assuming that Apple will simply increment the failed Mac Pro ID.

nTcMP = non thermal cornered Mac Pro

Not the new Mac Pro that we hoped Apple would make.

And, unfortunately, this is most likely to be the applicable acronym. More proprietary crap and no internal standard expansion.
