My bet - in time to ship with the new Mac Pro later this year...
Now let's hope that the new displays will also act as proper TB break-out box with additional USB3, FW800, etc...

Thunderbolt not fast enough to run a high-end graphics card like RedRocket
Seems to have no PCI slots at all.
No Cuda
I don't like being dictated how I should work by some guy at Apple.
I don't want some sculpture on my desk, I want power. Selling design vs power and expandability is missing the mark completely.
Sorry guys - sigh - I'll have to witch back to PC again.

Interesting that Haswell cpu's made it onto the air and NO mention of MacBook Pro upgrades yet?
I imagine that we'll also see TB 2 added to the iMac shortly too along with new Haswell processors in which case it may deliver more bang for the buck over the new Mac Pro. At least we all now know where we stand and can plan accordingly.

I've been a Mac Pro user for a long time. I have a Rocket X on order. I don't want to pay that much for a card just to have it slowed down via TB in an external chassis. So, my option is to switch to PC? I don't even know where to begin. The HP Red edition?

I think if RC X was coded to fully utilise the new Mac Pro then it would make the Rocket redundant!

CUDA isn't as necessary as people are making it out to be. Open-GL is a non-Vendor-specific standard that Resolve, Adobe, etc. work with. I wouldn't discount the use of a fast integrated AMD chip (two of them, in this case) until it's actually tested and benchmarked. If the software is written correctly, it won't matter whether you use NVidia, AMD, or even any other options that may crop up over time.

The new mac pro will be plenty expandable, they're just moved the expandability to the outside of the case as opposed to the inside of the case, this is more the just "Sculpture" and it sounds pretty powerful as well.

Who will be the first 3rd party vendors to create a refrigeration base unit, and expansion chassis to stack up and create one large chimney?

I just switched to PC. Pretty easy to build your own. I did with no prior experience.

Maybe a 3rd party wok holder for cooking lunch whilst editing 4K.

I realize this is literally just a surface issue, but the new MacPro case is polished aluminum and not plastic.

Not what I expected, but looks very interesting. Can't wait til it goes on sale to test it out

That's encouraging. I'm REALLY not familiar with PC.
Our office is completely Mac based. I might be the first to go rogue. What's file sharing between Mac and PC like now? Is it still Fat32 with a 4Gb limit?????

I think an important thing to take away from the Mac Pro announcement is that this is just a sneak peek, I saw someone in another thread complain that it has 6 core CPUs instead of 8 core but there is no reason this couldn't be in a top tier skew of the product. Who knows what sort of things they are leaving till the last minute to add surprise to it at the last minute.
And?
And?

True. Its also a brand new faster CPU chipset, who really cares if its six or eight core

Perfect. Thanks.
Ha ha! I think it might have been the 20th century the last time I was on a PC.

Nor was I. I hadn't used a PC since high school and that was windows XP. I installed Windows 8 and find it pretty easy to use and actually enjoy it. The building of a PC was pie. Put the pieces together, installed Windows 8 and I was up and running. I don't file share with hard drives in my setup. It's between a Mac Pro Server and my PC which works well, it's hardwired so the transfer rates are decent.
Now I have a quad core apple laptop that is a beefy internet perusing machine.
