MP 7,1 Waiting for Mac Pro 7,1 A1991 (no more)

While I know that ECC corrects memory errors, does the non-ECC memory of the GPU ultimately rule on export/render?

You're right, it does. A memory error may occur on the GPU memory as well as on the ECC system memory. While single bit error will be corrected in the system memory, on the GPU memory you won't even be notified of the error. The faulty bit is simply copied back from GPU memory to ECC system memory.
 
Thread ripper based machines are available for pre-order from Alienware, Main Gear, and a few others.

Man, 12-16 core machines for $3000. What a time to be alive.

Actually - 2500$ ;)

Cheapest 12 core is 1700$, cheapest 16 core is 2500$

And cheapest 16 core computer has 16 GB 3000 MHz RAM, SSD, GTX 1080.
 
Back on topic, has anyone heard any news about the status of the Skylake-W workstation class single socket Xeon processors? I thought they would have been released about now.

Where is the announcement? I don't see anything on ark.intel.com other than the SP multiple socket Xeons that use a different chipset and have 6-channel memory. There is Xeon version of the X series processors that were released in Q2 that I don't see.

No, those are E3-v5; the new Xeon workstation processor is what would have been called E5-v5, with 4-channel ECC memory, AVX-512 support, up to 18 cores, etc. The non-Xeon/non-ECC versions have already been released, such as this one:

Ahh..gotcha.

Update: Following Intel’s nomenclature change, we expect this processor to be called the Intel Xeon Platinum 8xxx (probably the 8180) and be the flagship product of the new Xeon Platinum and Gold series. The original article remains unaltered below but please keep in mind that the nomenclature of Xeon E5 is obsolete:

Seems Intel renamed the series.

In a PCN (Product Change Notification) sent to partners (via Computerbase.de), Intel has quietly launched the Xeon Gold and Platinum platforms. The lineups boast a wide variety of clock speeds and core configurations with the flagship going as high as 28 cores clocked at a hearty 2.5 GHz. The socket is LGA 3647 and this lineup is the new nomenclature of the Skylake-SP platform. Xeons previously named E5 and E7 are now going to be named according to this new nomenclature. Oh and there is still no official word on the 32-core chip we spotted earlier this year.

Those are the Purley class Xeons which will be most likely used in the upcoming modular Mac Pro.

The Xeons we're assuming will go into the iMac Pro are unannounced models based on the Skylake-X i9 core using the LGA 2066 socket and a variant of the X299 chipset with ECC support.

New 8-core 16-thread Threadripper chip. 3.8GHz, 4.0GHz boost (yeah. big boost. LOL) - 64PCIe lanes. $550 (score :) ) You can make a killer build for $2,250 if you want some RGB, and probably for a good $2,150 without RGB. :D

Everybody knows that RGB gives +10 to performance and productivity ;).

So it will be well spent 100$. ;)
