As Emoller said, I am limping along with an 2011 i7 iMac spec'd out waiting for the next generation of iMacs. All of this (iMac Pro), seems like the end of a cycle run for the iMac before they completely change the chassis and identity. Similar to the way car manufactuers produce a limited edition high performance version of a car in the last year of the model prior to revealing a whole new model update the year next. I sit here waiting on my decision. I am waiting for the Coffee Lake 14nm chips to come out and be placed in the iMac replacing the Canon lake chips. Coffee lake is supposed to be 3 times faster than the Canyon lake chips, and literally the ultimate in 14nm chips prior to going to the 10nm architecture which I have heard is causing a lot of problems and won't be rolled out in a traditional upgrade cycle, making the last of the 14nm chips the best chips for some time. So I sit here and wait. Should they announce Coffee lake chips in the current chasis iMac, I would buy a spec'd out version, or should I just pull the $7500 trigger and buy the iMac pro 10 core version with ram and video upgrades? The goal is to future proof the computer. I owned a Dual G5 from 2003-late2011. Now this i7 iMac from 2012-2018. Looking for another 8 years out of the next computer. Don't want to buy either a iMac with a Canyon processor, just to have the Coffee come out in three months, or buy a $7500 iMac Pro, just to have a new chassis come out in 9 months with a wide or curved screen for half the price. These decision are brutal,
