New Mac Pro updates soon?

Nothing yet, expect similar GHz and prices to Harpertown.

This is what I was hoping. 🙂
Just not certain with the "tock" cycle. 😀 😛

Thanks!

For the Gainestown price list? 😱

For the Beckton release. I'm 78% sure they aren't going with Beckton.

I must be the other 22% then. 😛

Gainestown or Beckton, it'll be sweet! 😀

Sooner than later, preferred. 😉

I'd like to think Gainestown, but only a year between updates on the Mac Pro is little bit too soon for Apple!😀

I actually understand your point. Tallest Skil seems to think along the same lines, even giving days in comparison. 😉

I remember stumbling on an article that indicated Apple would use DDR3 in the next MacPro. It was mentioned in one of the other threads, but I don't know if a link was given. 😱

Beckton is stated to use FB-DIMM2. 😱 (See wiki link in previous post).

It also makes sense to use Gainestown for another reason. Beckton is meant as a multiprocessor (as in four, min.). It may be possible to use only two Becktons together, but would likely not use their full capability. So to me, this makes for a more difficult and costly design, for little if any gains, IMHO. 🙁
