I'm running a maxed out 2019 Mac Pro (no, I don't have 1.5 TB of RAM!, but I have a lot). I run high end simulation software in MacOS, Windows 10, and Windows 11 depending on what the software requires.  

I've been waiting on a new Mac Pro for some time. The last update effectively was a joke. The most recent Mac Studios were not much better. 

If the next Mac Pro does not have at least an M4 Ultra (preferably an M5 Ultra) I may have to jump ship from using Mac hardware. As someone who has been using Apple hardware since the late 70s and Macs since 1984, jumping to some other platform will be painful. But if Apple is going to do something as stupid as come out with a Mac Pro with an M3 Ultra within the next six plus months, that means no Mac Pros acceptable to me before late 2027.

I can't keep using this old 2019 Mac Pro for 2 1/2 more years! Simulation software evolves and gets both CPU and GPU hungrier. Apple needs to keep up with its flagship machine.

I long for the days when the top of the line G4 Mac Pro was so fast (a lot faster than any Intel or AMD based machine). In fact it was so fast that for a short while the U.S. Government restricted the countries to which Apple could ship it. Apple needs to ship today's equivalent of that machine!
