Me too. Thanks for the "important information" apple.
ATTENTION: nothing new to report....
It's estimated that just over 10,000 MacPros have shipped so far to worldwide customers. Most are in the hands of video editors and developers.
In addition to the compatible power cord, the country kit (a.k.a. destination overpack) would include the Get Started guides appropriate for the delivery address (English, German, French, whatever) as well as required regulatory documentation.
I ordered mine at 12:33am PT. 6 core, 32GB RAM, 1TB flash dual D700. Still no update on the order, but I did get the tease email this morning.
Yes, thanks for reminding me it will ship at some random time this month lol.

When did you order ?

Depends a bit no the device. I could be as little as the correct language for your region for the printed documentation shipped in the box. It could also be that, as well as local correct power cable and keyboard version, etc.
I'm not sure that I can check the status page more often, without it being considered a DOS attack.
ouch! What happened to this new state of the art USA facility?
As far as I know it's still standing. I believe they are now building my custom MacPro.
Ouch!
When did you order?

yeah cut it out, you are slowing down the production of my Mac Pro!

Went to my local Apple Store today and was pleasantly surprised to see the new Mac Pro on display. Such a shame that it was tucked away in a corner at the back of the products section. I doubt anyone else even noticed it was there. Such a shame for such a great new product. Still can't purchase in-store at the moment which is a shame but I'm still looking forward to getting one. Wish they had updated the Apple Display to go with it, even if it's not 4K.
Damn mine still says February. I ordered mine 1/1/14 though. Wishful thinking.

Yeah, saw one unit by me and it seems like nobody even knew it was there. I keep forgetting the average consumer, has no idea what it is. My coworkers call the MBP a Mac Pro, and they're like "I got one too!" Also did not see a a 4k display. Still looked gorgeous next to the TBD though.
The new one looks beautiful, but I remember being taken aback by how big the old one was. Having an enormous thing like that under your desk has got to give you an extra smile

third party 64GB upgrades are only $780 or less. Can't rationalize slower single processor score below 3.5GHz. So I'm getting six core, 12GB RAM, 1TB PCIe, 700 graphics for just a hair over $5K with the plan to add 64GB myself for little more than half what Apple charges. But I have no idea how soon my configuration will ship. Because I'm buying it from a third party Apple dealer, it's unlikely I'll know before it's on the plane on the tarmac in China.
Making a joke ages after every one has heard it, and heard it again, and again, and again, is not funny.

Bugger. Walked past my local Apple Store just this morning without going in. Very annoying.
Not that I'm the customer for it. Quad core rMBP does just fine for software development. If I was retired with lots of spare time I'd buy one to play with.
The clock speed of the 12 core is lower because of the bizarre way Intel tells you about the clock speed.
The clock speed goes down when you use more cores. When you use only six cores, both 6 core and 12 core run at the same clock speed. With 8 or 12 cores used, the clock speed goes down. Intel tells you the speed when _all_ cores are used, so 6 core machine running at 3.5GHz with six cores is advertised as 3.5 GHz, but a 12 core machine running at 3.5GHz with six cores and 2.7GHz with 12 cores is advertised as 2.7GHz.
In reality, the 12 core machine has 30 MB of cache memory which makes it faster than the 6 core machine with only 15 MB cache, if the same number of cores are used.
