For all its corny looks, it does have a bit of that old 90's SGI coolness. Well maybe that is what makes it look so corny, it looks like something SGI designed in the 90's :-D

But only 4 ram slots? that is going to be seriously expensive to get up to a workable amount. Minimum 64GB i would say for AE work. And does it have 2 or 1 CPUs? and will the new E5 Xeons that come out later this year have 12cores when the current have max 8 cores?

well.... at least it doesnt look like my current Z820 wont the seriously outdated anytime soon with this macpro :-)

"Workstation class" is such a vague term.... You can have that with an iMac or any coreXi based PC for that matter. The days where you need Xeons to differntiate yourself performance-wise from "ordinary" desktop PCs are long gone. Point in case: Unless you extensively exploit the hardware with its 12 cores by throwing a 3D program at it or plug in those three 4k monitors to make the GPUs glow in the dark, you won't know the difference.

I don't care what it is called or how looks as long as it performs 'workstation class' great CPU and gpu wise

And runs osx ;-)

Somehow I think it will be priced more aggressively than the 'old' Mac Pro. I hope so.
