said by me1212:said by Kearnstd: If Apple drops the Mac Pro for whatever reason they will not have a proper work grade machine.
When was the last time they even updated it? I know last year(mid summer) when I check it was still running 5000 series gpus and the xeons that came out the same year.
Heck with haswell the macbook pros cpu may beat that, not sure how the mobile gpu market will play out at the time.
From the looks of things they have not been updated.
This is one of the big flaws with Apple is they only do "group updates" While any other company selling enterprise workstations tends to stay on top of things. I think the Fruit Company is focusing mainly on its iDevices and notebooks now though.
However if one needs to do CG modeling there is always Linux and a workstation from a more up to date vendor.
