Like in 2019, the amount of GPU you could fit in here, scale that linearly with today's standards.

what apple is doing with the gpus is amazing but it is non-expandable and you cannot like you know how many watts of heat of gpus could you put inside this if you have that many watts of heat in a mac today just think of the gpus the apple designed first party gpu you could put in there if you had a case that could dissipate it and a gpu that was designed to be in that case they could dissipate it so i will defend 2019 mac pro forever i love the 28 2008 mac pro it's

I used it for a decade.

I loved that computer.

It was amazing, but it was from a different time.

The 2019 Mac Pro fulfilled the promise that Apple made in the 2017 Mac Roundtable.

It just got run over by Apple Silicon.

It is what it is.

I wouldn't want Apple Silicon to have been delayed for the honor of the 2019 Mac Pro, but

They released what they said they were going to do, and they did a really, really good job of it.

And then we're back in the wilderness.

And speaking of the trash can, by the way, lots of people make this comparison.

In some ways, it's unfair.

And in some ways, it is entirely fair and shows how times have changed.

The Mac Studio is the trash can.

It's got its own little thermal corner.

It's got no expansion.

It's all in one tiny little thing.

It doesn't fulfill the same needs as the 2008 Mac Pro, but it was fine when it had a bigger sibling next to it or when Apple was pretending they were still interested in that market.

But now...
