If I may, let's play a game of Devil's Advocate -
1) What questions, or specific pieces of information would help in clearing up issues from the macosrumors article/info thus far?
2) What would conclusively demonstrate, for you, that they could have potential information that's not yet known here?
It's a 2 way street. Yes, the article had a doozey of an ending. They're looking for funding. Yes, also the primary author's apparently been out of it for some pretty serious medical reasons. If succinct and clear enough, surely there are some questions/info that could help prove if they've got some info?
I'm not saying they have. I'd imagine they also know the boy who cried "new Apple rumor" story
If nothing else, it's gristle to the mill, and something to sharpen the facts and likely knowledge with...
Just wonderring,who in here is judging the alleged Nehalm prorfmancce gains by the possible gains to be achieved in pro applications ?
The OP is a teenager who is not owning a Macpro, has no experience using it, and don't know any pro applications . That's what he revealed about himself.
He also was wrong with any of his predictions.
Bottom line : an underage kid is runing this discussion, without any workstation experience, simply by using Google a lot.
Minimum age on the forum is clearly stated. You don't have to be old to be accurately predictive. You also don't have to have a Mac Pro to guess. Or do you think that no-one should have talked about the original iPhone, or thoughts on netbook, slate etc?
You can look at current known pages on Nehalem benchmarks. And make rough estimates for applications. No need to slam the OP! (or if you are, give a decent argument with proof as to why you think the Mac Pro might be going in a different direction. The method of creating a 1st post to modify and be a updated post, and then try and channel the thread to keep on one topic, and try and stimulate discussion seems rather a good thing, n'est pas?
