Re: Is the Mac Pro Dead?

To me it was clear that it was dead when there was no mention of it in Apple's FCP In Action section of their site. Also the bare Red Rocket card, which is listed, has not link (since one would not get the bare card but the card in expansion chassis to use).

That does not mean workstation caliber update isn't going to happen (Xeon). Given that HP now has a Xeon in an all in one (albeit only 4 core). I wouldn't be surprised to see an iMacPro or a machine with a new form factor ("pizza box" of sorts). Tower is gone. That does not mean Power is gone. Thunderbolt will replace 4xPCIe but 16xPCIe will still be there (I hope) although I'm not sure whether it's one or two.

Current MacPros are still in stock online and the Apple store I went to yesterday still has one on display.

I think they're keeping the channel open for a purpose. They will end when new machines come out otherwise they could have killed it already.
