With the M2 transition, I feel we're back in the days of the PowerMac G5. It was a beast on its own, but the main issue for comparison was that you couldn't just do the same things. If you're working on video editing or Photoshop perhaps, but if you're developping games for instance you'll want an x86 computer, and however good the M2 specs are on benchmarks, you can't compare it on real world usage anymore. For ML it seems there are efforts to be ARM compatible, then VR is a weird bit where current ecosystem is x86 only, but the introduction of the Apple headset could probably help ? For scientific research, I was under the impression that Nvida/AMD GPUs were a given, and Metal had very little support. What would the other serious uses of a high power machine that could help make comparison with other actual workstations ?
