Mavericks
Mac Pro 2

Remember "the old days" when companies used to just put a product on the market?
I'm getting tired of this teaser stuff. To be fair, Apple has never played this game until now - but what with the Reds and Blackmagics of the world creating future buzz about products that may or may not ship in a year or so - what is a mega corp to do? The kool-aid is wearing off for a lot of folks, but I'm willing to believe until proven otherwise.
I'm breathlessly awaiting the announcement that Tim Cook made last year promising a new Mac Pro (or at least something "really great" to replace it). Should be at the WWDC next month. Some thought sooner.
Meanwhile my 2011 MacBook Pro is working just fine as a desktop. Not ideal, and not really heavy iron, but not bad. Mostly is just lacking I/O that you would get with a tower and cards. I wouldn't buy one now though - wait and see if Apple does something amazing and Steve-like, or if those days are truly over.
It's sort of like with FCPX - it's pretty darn cool, but it's still kinda buggy on occasion, and the initial fast pace of upgrades seems to have slowed. I assume they're tweaking for the MacPro and Mavericks introductions.
It looks pretty much like what people were saying - that it would be incrementally faster than the current Mac Pro. Which, though it's sort of surprising considering the modernity of the device, is not as big of a deal for me (and others stuck using laptops and iMacs) as the dual graphics cards will be.
