And power consumption !

The performance per watt of Apple is unmatched.

This needs to be sold as the big ticket item for low level devs. Their chips are some of the most power efficient chips on the market right now.

Hoping they release a blade server version somehow.

  • Apple releasing anything enterprise or "server" related would be a pretty big pivot - let alone blades.

  • Nvidia's recent GPUs are more power-efficient than Apple Silicon in raster, training and inference workloads.

    A blade server would get cancelled just like the Mac Pro for exactly the same reasons: https://9to5mac.com/2026/03/02/some-apple-ai-servers-are-rep...

      I think you can do better than the proverbial Apples and Oranges comparison.

      In terms of total system, "box on desk", Apple is likely to remain the performance per watt leader compared to random PC workstations with whatever GPUs you put inside.

I've owned some beefy computers in the past and this tiny little m4 mini on my desk blows them all out of the water easily. It's crazy.
