Marc Gurman reported that Apple was making a 4x Max SoC that likely would have landed inside this Mac Pro.[0] For whatever reason, this did not come true. I suspect that Apple ran into technical issues trying to combine 4x Max dies into one SoC and have all the CPUs, Neural Engines, and GPU cores act as a single chip to macOS. Another reason could be that Apple decided that it's uneconomical to design such an "extreme" SoC for a niche market/machine. Personally, I think Apple will release an M3/M4 "Extreme" that will go into the Mac Pro. I also suspect that Apple will try to create some sort of "Apple Silicon Cloud" in order to expand the market for such monstrous chip. The traditional workstation is a declining market. Such cloud would also be a way for Apple to serve customers who want cloud workstations.
