Even worst, rebadged with disabled cu. My hope is they just re-maped internally some rx480 cu to build up a descent fp64 performance.
Yeah, at least a full fat for the top of the line GPU.
And it's weird that mem keeps being clocked at 7G. Is it a limitation of the process node, the mem controller or just power constrains?! :-(
And no GDDR5X model still??? I bet the controller doesn't even support it.
But I'd say these new WX are the base for the nMP GPUs.

I was actually excited for a moment seeing the article on AnandTech, as it's essentially the last piece in the 7,1 puzzle...
... then I saw the release date in the chart: Q4 2016
Holding on to my 3,1 for a bit longer, methinks.

Thanks.
Um, ok? Not sure what point you're trying to make. All of us here are waiting for an overdue Mac Pro spec bump, and at last all the pieces are finally in place to make it happen (pending AMD's Q4 2016 release of the Polaris Radeon Pro WX line). If you're trying to point out the "10 years" Phil's talking about, that's form factor/design, not hardware revisions. I personally go 8 years with my machines, so I'm ready to pull the trigger on an update.
EDIT: Just realized the FirePros were rebranded to Radeon Pro. Correction noted...

With phil, who knows...maybe he meant it literally. Putting pieces together = nMP?
Official Polish distributor of Apple hardware has its own retail/reseller line in Poland. And currently the retail/resleer line has gigantic rebate over whole computer lineup from Apple.
Few things come to mind: Boosting sales of computers. Getting rid of the stock because of upcoming lineup update. The rebates are fluctuating from 11% to... 22%. Mac Pro has got 16% rebate.

And some of the purchasers might get lucky and actually receive their rebate check some day. I remember those rebate scam days.
They're probably mainly trying to boost slow sales before the Apple product announcements this fall.
If that would be only selling the stock available, the preconfigured models would be available in the promotion. But they are not. It is just whole line of Apple computers got discounts, and you can configure them in the configurator, with the discounts, and they are actually pretty good offers. Its almost getting out the VAT of the price on the MP(still overpriced, tho ).
So something is happening. The discounts are on all Apple hardware lineup: Mac mini, iMac, Mac Pro, MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro. The only one computer is not in the discounts: MBP mid 2012.

. The discounts are on all Apple hardware lineup: Mac mini, iMac, Mac Pro, MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro. The only one computer is not in the discounts: MBP mid 2012.It seems it is still too new, they will discount it next year when it willl be old enough
...That is a surprise. Maybe 14nm FinFet was used just for Polaris 10. Maybe AMD got a good discount from GloFo or TSMC was too busy, and GloFo was only available for this summer launch... any other possible reasons?
Actually means nothing, they could import the baked wafers from China and mount on the socket at Taiwan and then label as Made in Taiwan... IMHOOne more thing. Polaris 11 appears to be made on TSMC 16 nm FF+ process(GloFo does not have any fab in Taiwan, only Germany, USA, China). Check this die shot and Made in Taiwan:
Nope. RX 480 chips have Made in Singapore, Germany or USA labeled on them. And this is where GloFo has Fabs.
Now that winter is coming, eh ehm .... Vega is coming...
WX9100 => D710 ?
WX7100 => D510 ?
WX5100 => D310 ?
PS. Read somewhere (not DarkNetGuy): next Thunderbolt Display to be 4K/21" Apple to resell Asus 5K/usb-c display, only Mac capable to drive a 5K panel in SST will be the MP7,1 thru USB-C DP 1.3 alt mode, also confirms only 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports.
Links, or it doesn't exist. Don't start posting nonsense like koyoot does.
The first amendment protects the right to post nonsense, with some obvious exceptions.
I didn't say that koyoot should not be able to point out every weakness in Nvidia's product, nor that he shouldn't be able to shout out every rumour about ATI's far future GPUs.
But posting stuff without linking to sources is dishonest - it's not a first amendment issue. The phrase "I read somewhere" is just as dishonest as Trump's frequent "people are saying" line.
nVidia just released the GTX 1060, 1070 and 1080 for notebooks. Should be within about 10% of their desktop counterparts but at lower tdp. This could end up in Macs, including the Mac Pro tube.

That would be astonishing. I don't believe it, but it would be great for cMP owners (native OS X support).
