iMac Pro Available With 8 or 10 Cores This Week, 14 and 18 Core Models Ship Early Next Year

Agreed, I suspect closer to $8,500 before taxes; however, I am inclined to believe at least $7,500

The 18-core 4TB... may end up being a $15,000 iMac, if not at least $12,000 - all before taxes/duty

Haha, I was pretty close on my pricing gestimate:

Does anyone know if the GPUs have ECC memory? I know they are calling them “Pro Vega,” but if they lack ECC memory then they aren’t exactly pro like the WX series.

No, they have same standard VRAM no ECC used in discrete Vega cards.
HBM2 though.

This is so misleading, LOL. Coming from someone who likes Apple where their computers have to DOWNTHROTTLE because the airflow is absolute garbage... that's rich.

Yes, I'm suspect iMac Pro is throttling prone. Looking at i9-7900X which is literally same like 10 core W-2155 Xeon counterparts with ECC capability removed, i9-7900X is very darn hot. While stock speed is sufficient, struggling start when all cores hit max boost, air cooler or AIO solution won't cut. Likely Apple cooling system would be same suffer.

Yet here you are on a mac site

I switched to Apple in 2004. Their adoption of UNIX was wonderful. Windows had already entered their Dark Age era(reboot...reboot...reboot...). I'm retired now but I find Windows 10 a very modern and scalable OS. I now play with both OS's on their own platforms.

There's the rub - if you think the iMac Pro is right for you, you don't need an iMac Pro .

The iMac Pro is actually pandering to the most average of users - those who are not very demanding and computer savvy , and thus easily seduced by numbers and marketing talk .

Time will tell, as long as the system delivers holding up under heavy loads. As stated I'm not a big fan of all in one desktop solutions and my own professional need dictates notebook's.

iMac Pro is not perfect, equally a move forward as many of us are sick to our back teeth with Apple just churning out consumer gadgets and completely disregarding it's professional audience...
