Are these just rebranded (i9) housefires that were just released?
no i9 doesnt support things that xeon does.
1% of Apple users will actually be able to use the processing power of the iMac Pro; 10% of Apple (desktop) users will buy it as a trophy. And no, I'm not stating a "fact"; just my own speculation.
You & I seem to think exactly alike. Looking at the 8C, 64GB, undecided on the GPU & HD, probably go 1 or 2 TB SSD, but TBD.Given the consensus of the iMac, I'm going to stick to the 8-core. Hoping it'll run cooler than the greater number of cores, is that accurate?
December can't come soon enough. My workflow is so slow, but I don't want to get anything other than the iMac Pro.
Most likely up it to 64GB RAM and leave everything else as it is. Not sure I will up the VRAM like I would usually. 8GB seems plenty and I imagine the 16GB VRAM will be a lot more... hoping Apple releases prices and pre-order soon... obviously it'll be more like December... 4 months to go...

I'm just waiting for that guy who thinks they can build a better PC for the same price.
Its called a hackintosh. I build them all the time.
Apple should make headless Macs and displays instead of all-in-ones like iMac, which are a brutal environmental aggression when after seven years the CPU is no longer supported by new macOS versions, yet displays may last for more than 20 years.
So, you want to still be using that 20 year old CRT that was available in 1997? LOL. Apple leads all tech in recycling, so when you finally need to give up on an iMac, they will see that it is recycled properly, for free! I have a ten year old iMac that is running as smooth as day one and still works great in the kitchen for basic web surfing and watching videos while I cook.
I wonder about the fan noise.
Also, for that amount of money, they should include 2 hdmi inputs on the back of the monitor.
Considering the inclusion of a Secure Enclave with an ARM coprocessor I think it is obvious that the iMac Pro will be the first Mac supporting Face ID.
You have to get informed, read about their award winning recycling program. Then read up about how well the MacBook pro laptops have been selling and the incredible pro macs that are coming out this year and next.What are YOU smoking? Apple is in the disposable tech business. This is why they've let their PRO business languish.
Providing long lasting high powered computers is no longer they're concern.
HELLO! THEY'RE MAINLY A DISPOSABLE PHONE MANUFACTURER NOW! The Mac was afterthought since Mavericks!
Try finding all equivalent components for a price lower than $4999.Its called a hackintosh. I build them all the time.
