Will There Be a Class Distinction Between nMP & cMP Owners?

[flat five]

Exactly, I keep my workstations racked in a closet. If the new one isn't faster, how do the tools seem any different?

well, it's faster than what most people will be replacing.. 2008s and whatnot..

if the nmp were in the mp1 form factor, most people will still be getting the same exact performance enhancements as they would be expecting when going up from a 3,1.. basically- business as usual. (and even then, 5,1 upgraders will have performance enhancements as well.)

just in a different form now is all..

but it's that form etc which is going to reinvigorate the mac pro line. it's a better future for 2020 than a twenty year old G5 design.. might as well make it look like a coffin at that point.
