Let's take all the heat issues from the traschan pro, strap on a 5k display and put it into a consumer-level shell. Yeah... heat will be a problem.
The "consumer-level" shell is a 27" Aluminum heatsink.
Gonna leave this here from the official press release as it seems quite a few people have missed this point: "In addition to the new iMac Pro, Apple is working on a completely redesigned, next-generation Mac Pro architected for pro customers who need the highest-end, high-throughput system in a modular design, as well as a new high-end pro display." https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2017/06/imac-pro-most-powerfu...

That is just confusing. There will be a modular Mac Pro that is totally different from this iMac Pro? That leaves me to wonder who exactly this iMac Pro is targeted at.

I'm sure there are still professionals who would prefer pre-packaged solutions. Sure, many prefer being able to continually upgrade and add to their setups as well. Just a different kind of sub-market, I think.
How is the Radeon Vega going to be used for machine learning without framework support?
"AMD will be delivery HIP version of Caffe, Tensorflow, Torch7, MxNet, Theano, CNTK, Chainer, all supporting our new MIOpen – our new Deep Learning solver."

Intel is slashing their multicore processor prices in response to AMD. https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Processors/Intel-Core-i9-Annou... Sure, you'll be looking at non-ECC, but other than that, you'll be crushing the new iMac Pro in price to performance.
Who would use non-ECC memory in a box designed for content creation?
Not a lot of Xeon Hackintoshes out there. Typically just i7s.
Given the support for major gaming engines, Steam VR, and changes within Metal 2, is it wrong to be optimistic for Mac gaming? If the takeaway from this WWDC could be potential gaming parity with Windows, that's a really big deal for me. Me being the segment of Pro users who need to work on a Mac and want to game natively on one, too.

how is a mac pro not a pre-packaged solution? You choose from a few pre-configured setups if you wish.

It sounds like the target audience for the new Mac Pro will be people who can afford to spend $10k on a quad-CPU machine. I'm sure those people will be happy. But what I want is an upgradable / self-servicable machine that costs under $3k. I hope Apple isn't about to miss the plot again .
