I've always wondered if they'll do something for a true monster Mac Pro.. 128 cores, gobs of memory, etc.

- JonChesterfield 2y agoHackintosh on MI300A?
- marxisttemp 2y agoMy guess is we won’t ever see anything more than what can also fit in a Studio. It’s just not worth the extra R&D for whatever fancy interposer tech they’d need to make a standout Mac Pro
- grecy 2y agoThe strange part is the M MacPro still has the monster 100W power supply from the intel days. Why on earth did they leave that?
- oyashirochama 2y agoIt's a little overbuilt, but a 1000w for a 300w processor with ability to add a lot of accessories isn't terrible actually. only needs a few more PCIe devices to make it meet the 50% minimum to reach peak efficieny on the PSU.
- FireBeyond 2y agoFor your PCI devices and whatever they may draw.
- raydev 2y agoExpansion ports. Arguably, the redesign you're looking for is the Mac Studio.
- raydev 2y agoThe way they've treated the Mac Studio by simply not updating it, letting the MacBook Pro M4 nearly surpass it at the top end of performance, doesn't bode well for the future. Seems like they think Ultras aren't worth the investment, let alone building a true "unleashed" SIP. Apple never says "hey what's the fastest and most powerful thing we can build for X price", they always box themselves in with space or energy constraints, so they never truly compete for the high end. The existing Mac Pro body was their chance to do that, and instead they put something designed for a smaller chassis in there.
- grecy 2y agoI agree 100%, though I guess holding onto the monster Power Supply in the Mac Pro has me hoping they're still working on something "big" that would justify it.
