Theres no reason the base Pro should cost 2,499, something that old should be in the be in the 1,500 range.

Recent rumors about the new Mac Pro uses outdated ATI 5770 graphic card is true.

Sadly...

This sums up my reaction:

If you were on the fence about a 12 core. Your life just got a way better.

"The 'New' Mac Pro..... Overpriced no matter what year you find yourself in"

 

[Litany]

The 12core got a $1200 reduction. But it still lacks USB3, TB, SATAIII and a modern GPU. Bad deal.

 

[Umbongo]

The 12core got a $1200 reduction.

No; Apple are using dual 6-core versions of the dual 4-core core ones they had before. They cost $150 more and so Apple upped the price from $3,499 to $3,799. Can you get a 12-core system for less? Yeah., but the old 12-core models still cost the same.

Price of 6-core model dropped $700. Got one with the 5870 for under $3K.

 

[Cindori]

Don't stare blindly at the price drop of the 12-core, the specs changed too

They dropped from 2.66 Ghz to 2.4 Ghz and added 6GB ram

The base Quad also got 3GB extra ram

But yeah...
