The 2687w is a very fast chip and I've been looking into swapping it into the new Mac Pro.
Does anyone plan to do a swap and see how it performs? The issue that OWC has highlighted and other is that the TDP is 150, but the Mac Pro seems to keep very cool for the most part, and typical power consumption is said to be only 14 watts greater than the other 8 core the 1680 v2:

So is anyone else looking at this processor for their rig?
