The performance increase seems rather low for all the hoopla about how it will make mincemeat out of video, etc., and run multiple 4k monitors and all that.
Let's hope that the price reflects this modest improvement as well as the fact that you will also have to buy everything else to stick on to it externally.
To me, it seems that it was a poorly thought out form over function decision, because now we will go back to setups that look like a messy Rube Goldberg conglomeration of peripherals and cables and power supplies, not to mention the proprietary nature of its upgradeability.
But then, apple's philosophy is to keep you tied to their ecosystem and then nickel and dime you to death with their proprietary add-ons.

People were saying that based on this early benchmark, the brand-new, super-duper, kick-ass Mac Pro was only 10% more powerful that the model that came out 3(?) years ago. You just seemed to reiterate that it was only 1 CPU and not 2, as though that was relevant.
