Yep. Grant Petty and I are iConsumers now:

"We have been testing with DaVinci Resolve 10 builds and this screams. =
Its amazing and those GPUs are incredible powerful. I am not sure what I =
can say as I am only going off what Apple has talked about publicly here =
in the keynote for what I can say right now, however there is a whole =
new OpenCL and DaVinci Resolve 10 has had a lot of performance work done =
to integrate it and its really really fast. Those GPUs are very powerful =
and have lots of GPU memory so this is the Mac we have been waiting =
for!"

I was going to buy an iMac but the new MacPro will do nicely. If it =
makes me a "consumer" instead of a "pro" then whatever.
