It's unlikely for apple to introduce new motherboards or processors to upgrade macpros. More likely there will be an updated Intel 24 core "newrubbishcodename" chip which will hopefully be pin compatible with the current macpro's processor socket.
The added expense of a macpro is quite substantial, are you sure a quad core iMac wouldn't perform faster for less money?
