apple is not selling to data centers
given there use case of
- premium consumer only products
- which are mostly portable and have a low thermal budget
- which are by most users hardly ever run on full throttle
- a well documented tendency to proclaim any hardware failure as user fault
makes this quite viable for them
but if you run systems with 4TiB of RAM and 12k+$ CPU which is most time running full throttle potential for days at a time with a higher thermal budged and customers which might have docents or even thousands of such CPUs and will be very pushy about reclaiming any failure they think isn't their fault then having to replace over 20-50k$ just isn't viable (instead of ~1-3k...)
