The key part there being "scientific research server." The Amazon Graviton2 ARM chips have something like 64 cores but that makes sense for machines that are powering AWS. Unless the point of these Mac pros is to be at supercomputer speeds or to pack massive specs like VM packs a Bughatti Veyron (because we can) I don't see much of a point beyond the highest of high end video editing and scientific research.
- salamandersauce 5y agoI mean Mac Pros can easily be configured to $50,000+ machines from their base price of $6,000. They aren't aimed at the average joe. The majority of these things are being sold for business purposes in the first place with maybe a handful of sales to ultra rich enthusiasts. The 40 core model is probably the replacement of the 28 core Xeon which is a $7,000 option.
