It was always strange the Apple Silicon kept the 1.3kw power supply which was massive overkill.

I always hoped we’d get a consumer version of what they have internally - 10 or 20 or more Apple Silicon chips for 1000 cores or so.

A bunch of the Mac Pro decisions seem to have been more driven by "we have a warehouse of these parts" than "this is what the system needs".

  • A lot of Apples offerings feel a bit like that actually.

    To be expected when lord of the supply chain Tim Cook is running the show.

    • Apple doesn’t end up with a lot of parts in warehouses because they control the supply chain so well.
