What if you had the ability to use more power?

Tell me about it.

But I think there is an interesting thought exercise that we may or may not ever get to experience or see the end of.

which is, you know, the A series of chips, I think we can all agree, were designed at the start to be power efficient.

Like that was, if not the priority, it was certainly extremely high on the list.

And to extrapolate from what John was saying earlier, you know, what if there was a chip where perhaps power efficiency just wasn't

Or if it was on the priority list at all, it was way, way, way further down.

And what would that look like?

And how incredible could that be?

Because these Apple chips, you know, the H series chips, the M series chips, they're incredible, incredibly fast and incredibly power efficient.

Imagine what it would be like if they took the gloves off and said, you know what, we're just going to use as much power as we need.

So when do you think you're buying a new computer then?

What do you expect to miss about the physical parts of the Mac Pro?

Because you have your time machine drive internal to the Mac Pro, don't you?

John, you spent $11 billion on the Mac that you're using to speak to us right now.

Seven years ago.

Well, I'm just saying, given that you spent as much as a freaking Civic on that thing.

Well, all snark aside, I am sorry for you.

I'm glad for you that you have an answer because it is, as you mentioned, Apple style to just kind of let this thing fade into the night as it had been doing.

But I'm glad you have an answer, but I'm sorry it's not the answer you wanted.
