[David Dobson] "So clearly the Mac Pro is EOL."

I believe it'll be replaced with something else. I've posted numerous times what this would probably look like on various threads but obviously it's like finding a needle in a haystack (hey stack given this forum?).

There's still a need for good GPU CPU so it'll be.

Look something like an oversized MacMini.
It'll range from i7 four core ti i7 12 core (possibly more)
It'll have one or two 16 lane PCIe for internal very fast powerful GPU or two.
SSD boot drive with one traditional hard drive.
RAM ranging from 4GB to a very high number.
It'll have 3 copper thunderbolt ports and one fiber thunderbolt port (something Intel has already said they intend to deliver at 100Gbps I believe)
It can lay flat or upright (with stand).
It will have a rack mount add on.

It will appeal to anyone who wants a "headless" iMac at the low end to a workstation to a server.
The idea is Apple will cut costs on internal components, make it smaller and sleeker, will cover a broader range of needs than the MacPro. It'll have a starting price slightly lower than the top i7 Quad Core iMac ranging to a top price still lower than the current top priced MacPro.

Wider appeal, lower price range, nice sleek design. The closest Apple can come to in making a commodity power box.
