Maxed-out Apple Silicon Mac Pro costs 1/4 what a maxed Intel one did
I was wondering how many posts it would take before someone bleated “B-b-but no 1.5TB RAM option?”.
I’d love to know what proportion of Mac Pros were even upgraded beyond 256GB RAM (stats & error reports would have revealed this).
Shame about no 3D compute module.

Stop us if you've heard this before: There's a new Apple Silicon killer in town
I really wish people would stop using Cinebench for CPU comparisons.
Firstly, it leans heavily on the SIMD instruction set which very few other applications do.Secondly, it’s RT library is Embree had Apple 2nd Neon SIMD disabled by its GitHub custodian - Intel (see GitHub PR330). Go figure why it doesn’t paint M-series in a good light.
So please stop using Cinebench.
