>The mac pro uses workstation parts (Xeon W) not workstation parts. I think you mean *server parts While not addressing your points specifically, which I agree with, and more for anyone else reading as I assume you already are aware...

TR has a lot more PCIe lanes and it's quad channel memory (as opposed to Ryzen's dual channel).
