Here’s a review of http://www.engadget.com/2013/12/23/apple-mac-pro-review-2013/. It’= ;s as quiet as advertised but runs warm. I suspect if really pushed (render= farm) Apple may have to boost fan speeds a tad.

Benchmarks and testing are fairly thin – of no= te is they apparently got underwhelming GPU performance and theorized only = FCPX was able to use the second GPU card. The storage system is fast = as expected. They claim the CPU is not upgradable but GPU’s are. However, tear downs reveal that is could be upgraded = as it’s socketed. But I would bank on ease or workability of those up= grades until actual parts and testing reveals if they will work.=

But still waiting for a much more thorough review (i= .e. Anandtech or Tom’s Hardware) to unravel mystery of GPUs.
