[QUOTE="BigD, post: 1855148, member: 37520"] It waits to be seen if Apple can ramp up their Apple Silicon to workstation level tech. I doubt that will ever be their priority as they know they'd have a hard time getting 3rd parties to optimise their heavy lifting video editing / 3D rendering apps to make use of this niche 'Pro' level custom Arm hardware. Adobe for example are not the best and are definitely not the fastest at this sort of optimisation task. I don't expect that Apple will want to compete in that 'Mac Pro' niche beyond the life of the current Mac Pro line. It's a dead end for Apple Workstations IMHO but with more control of their margins by having an in-house CPU / GPU source they'll keep the profit nice and high on the glorified iPad Pro 'Mac Edition' machines. Since these will more than likely fly off the shelves for the hipster market it's $$$ and job done but RIP for useful 'Pro' Macs at that point. :( [/QUOTE]
