That's why I think I will still be lobbying for and dreaming and hoping for that Apple should make a Mac that has more cooling capacity than the Mac Studio so they can put a bigger chip in it that wouldn't fit in the Mac Studio.

I'll also separately believe that...

the role of slots is still potentially good or whatever, but that's, that's nebulous.

But the, the heat capacity thing is not nebulous.

That's, and that's, that's why the old M2 ultra Mac pro was so ridiculous because we know that chip fits in the studio.

You can buy it in the studio and yet they're putting it in this cavernous case with massive cooling.

It was just a complete waste.

Um, so fingers crossed for, let's say seven years from now, we'll, we'll report back here.

And see if Apple has made a bigger Mac than the Mac Studio.

The rumor we had was that there was no plans for a larger chip than the Ultra until at least the M7 generation.

But that was a vague rumor and it was a long time ago.

So I'm not holding my breath for that.

But yeah.

RIP Mac Pro.

It was already dead in all but name.

Now it is dead dead.

It is clarifying for purchasers.

It is clarifying for me.

And yet...

that still remains the one glaring failure.
