If the Mac Pro satisfies those workloads now Apple is free to make the T2 chip mandatory. I don't think even Apple can afford to buy too many of the Mac Pro. :

If the Mac Pro satisfies those workloads now Apple is free to make the T2 chip mandatory. I don't think even Apple can afford to buy too many of the Mac Pro. :) In all seriousness, the Mac Pro doesn't make a good server (for most purposes). Most servers don't need GPU, no server needs a way way overdesigned and expensive case. Don't need the expandability. Etc.
