The Mac Pro has always been just about the worst platform for CUDA/OpenCL development. Lack of power, hardware driver support, and underperforming GPGPU (especially OpenCL) APIs have made it more of a prototyping environment than a production environment. 4096 stream processors just reinforces Apple's lack of interest in pursuing that market segment. It's good today (although they'll be clocked down compared to, say, a 7990) but I suspect that's what we'll be stuck with for "the next ten years." I'll probably mistake mine for my wastepaper bin at some point and set it on fire. :-)
