As the speaker said it's aimed at people doing video editing, 3d graphics, machine-learning, compiling huge code-bases, etc. Basically it's something your work buys if you do one of those things for a job. If you missed the whole outcry about the Macbook Pro updates last year, some of the criticism was bemoaning the fact the machines weren't powerful enough to cater to the above (along with the trashcan Mac Pro not having received updates in 3-4 years). (Also care to backup the claim you can match that spec with a PC at half that price, as that would directly contradict the claim made on-stage)?
