Agree 100% with you on the Mac Pro. It's a novel design, but I have no idea why they went with AMD processors instead of the upcoming Ivy Bridge E Xeon E5s, which will run circles around the best AMD has to offer...

The new Mac Pro is Xeon E5. The GPU is AMD, not the CPU.
What? They did use Xeons, they said so right in the keynote.
The Verge's liveblog was confused, they saw the AMD GPU logos and thought they were talking about the CPUs.
I don't know why someone would use a liveblog when they offered a very capable livestream. Also quite the rookie mistake considering the AMD logo they showed had "FireGL" written right on it.

I was following The Verge because my live stream cut out on my AppleTV. Sorry about my confusion...
It's novel, absolutely. But man is that thing ugly!

AMD GPUs, not CPUs.
