I do hope it’s the former – just very late on delivery on new form factor, ideally not solely Xeon based but either Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge EP. Ivy Bridge EP would make sense for a sometime in 2013 date that the rumors are floating.


I'd love to see Apple drop the Mac Pro line and license the OS to Boxx to build modern high-end Macs.  Apple-blessed Hackintoshes.  I think the buyers of those machines wouldn't hold it against Apple if there were more hiccups than with a real Apple machine, they'd just be happy being able to run FCP on the latest and greatest CPUs.  And with just one vendor kept on a tight leash, Apple wouldn't have to worry about an infinite number of possible configurations.

Anyway, I won't be holding my breath.
