> What happens next is: either they ship the real Apple Silicon Mac Pro in a year or two (with who-knows-what changes, but something to differentiate it from the top of the Mac Studio range other than price), or they admit defeat and kill the Pro range altogether, or maybe downgrade it to be the name of the top end Mac Studio. There were a lot of rumors around a quad-chip (a ultra is just 2 M* Max's) that was 2 ultras fused together but the yields were terrible and they scrapped it. I've heard speculation that they might be trying again with M2/M3's but yeah, as it stands now the Mac Pro is very lack luster. Honestly even if they manage a quad-chip design it's still missing things professionals want (more ram, more GPU power). I'm not at all in the market for this device but I really hope Apple pulls it off. Apple is better when it has devices spanning the whole spectrum even if the edges (low-end phone, high-end desktop) don't have blockbuster sales. You sweet spot of sales is empowered by those 2 extremes and benefits from it.
