At that point, you could do Final Cut on an Intel laptop still, even though it wasn't as good as it is an Apple Silicon.

So they went upmarket with it, which is fine.

You can go upmarket with a high-end computer.

But the 2019 Mac Pro is what they promised to that 2017 Mac Roundtable.

So we're going to make a modular Mac Pro that's our biggest, baddest computer.

How long will it be before...

Apple ever makes another computer with the capabilities of the 2019 Mac Pro, just in terms of RAM.

It could hold 1.5 terabytes of RAM.

Granted, it was slow RAM, not like today's super fast RAM, but it was 2019.

Massive RAM capacity.

How long...

Has it been or was it?

I'm not even sure.

I'll have to look up the stats in this.

Before there was ever a Mac that could contain as much GPU processing power as the 2019 Mac Pro, which I believe could hold four AMD GPUs, two dual cards in it.

it was it was so long before that was bested by any apple silicon things i have to look up the stats to see how close it is to being competitive with the m3 ultra which is the current mac gpu wasn't it like this year i think it was recent i have to look up with it but like the thing is like well what am i going to do with all those gpus what the hell is the point of that i can't play games on it there's no game that's going to run on four nvd four amd uh gpus again

What could I do with a box filled with GPUs in today's age?

I can think of some things you can do with it that aren't gaming, you know, and their whole relationship with NVIDIA and how they messed that up, as you noted, is the thing.

But like the 2019 Mac Pro, when it was released, had capabilities that were so far above any other Mac in terms of what it could do and what you could stuff inside it.

Because remember back then, you could put in...
