If the Mac Studio cooling solution can handle the ‘extreme’ I hope they make it an option. Personally, I don’t need whatever extra expansion a Mac Pro might provide — I just want the CPU power. But I’m curious to see what else the Pro offers beyond the SOC.
The Extreme is going to be a 400 W SoC or so. So, look at an Nvidia RTX 4080, 4090 "card" or a Mac Pro dual GPU MPX module, and double the volume, at least. Notionally, double the size of the Mac Studio.
Yeah, they could make it two, or even three times taller. That would fit everything. And maybe paint it black, you know to help radiative cooling. It would look kinda like a … trashcan? LOL
(yes I know, just being a bit silly. the pro really needs a big case like the one it has for drives, and such, not to mention cards.)
I bet the graphic arts and CGI wonks are slavering thinking about the next Mac Pro. The House of the Dragon and the Rings of Power series are pushing the envelope. If you've seen 'em, you know what I mean. And Apple's Foundation season 1 was unbelievable. Can't wait to see what they do with MORE POWER!
Those VFX people are working on PC workstations with multiple Nvidia space heaters. Any 3D stuff is getting rendered in farms. Not sure what you think is being done on these shows with Mac Pros, but it's probably not what you think.
