Really doubt it. Ryzen's single threaded performance even in their top end 1800x can't even go head to head with the 7700k.

BUT I am thinking they will allow AMD or nVIDIA (options) GPUs in their Mac Pros during check out next year -- just how it used to be back in the cheesegrater days. I'm sure they'll allow the 1080Ti/Titan Xp to be installed during check out -- which for us means great things.

This is the way it should be for a desktop, none of that bs about small tiny cases without any removable parts. They can do that with iMacs and MacBook Pros and Mac Minis.

So it seems that "constant negativity" towards the Mac Pro is the reason Apple (& nVidia?) rose up to the challenge.

Apple executives this week made an unusual and surprising announcement, detailing the company's work on an entirely revamped high-end modular Mac Pro that's set to be released sometime after 2017.

No specific information on a potential release date was shared, but OSnews' Thom Holwerda has shared some tidbits heard from "people and sources who know their stuff," giving a little insight into just when we might see the revamped mac pro and why Apple decided to renew its focus on professional users.

Ahead of Apple's announcement, Holwerda says the Mac Pro was in limbo, and Apple wasn't sure what was going to happen to the machine.

Apparently, the negative response to the MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, which many complained was not oriented towards pro users, was a major factor. Apple saw a surge of orders for older MacBook Pros instead of the new model, and that, combined with the reaction to the LG 5K display and the "constant negativity" from professional users, led Apple to "double down on professional users."

The decision to move ahead with a modular Mac Pro replacement was made "in recent months" with development starting "only a few weeks ago," suggesting it's going to be a long wait.

Given a rough estimate of the length of time it normally takes to develop a project, it could be late 2018 or even 2019 before we see the machine.

Not a moment too soon – I was already looking around eBay for a 980ti...
Time to get the gtx1080 out of the drawer. It's been catching dust for the past 10 months...

YEAH!!!!!!!!

Open to Mac Community
Speaking of users, we’re also making the new TITAN Xp open to the Mac community with new beta Pascal drivers, coming this month. For the first time, this gives Mac users access to the immense horsepower delivered by our award-winning Pascal-powered GPUs.

Jesus, finally. My 1070 is just sitting idle for 95% of its time in my build for the occasional Windows gaming.

Though this means I have to update to Sierra, which introduced the bug with 5K screens and the mouse pointer. Ugh. I hope they fix it.
 
Wow... I can't say anything wow..
