Yes sir Ashwin. The price of that 18 core iMac Pro will be interesting!
And yes...it would seem that the Mac Pro line at best may be on life-support.
Comparing the Mac Pro and iMac Pro from the creative professional standpoint. I think a lot of creative professionals (video & graphics folks)...who work in the big office buildings of the big cities around the world...are the sort that don't really care about what's "inside". They just want to put "gas in the car"...and get from point A to point B.
And maybe if the performance of the iMac Pro is justified by saving time (less rendering hours spent on video & graphics projects)...the companies employing these folks won't care about the price either. Will be interesting to see benchmarks for the iMac Pros!
I'd like to know what the cooling system is like in an 18-core iMac Pro with top level graphics. Hopefully doesn't sound like a 747 at takeoff!

p.s. I know Lisa (iclev) will disagree with me what I said above (at least in her case).
