All Apple has to do for modularity is look at the gamer built PC industry!  They been doing this for at least 7 years and counting!

Certainly, the gamer built PC industry is a good place to look for modularity. The main problem i currently see in this approach is thermal management, as GPUs and other coprocessors coming in the following years are consuming 500 Watts or even more.

Other than that, apple seems to treat professionals like dumb folk who cant even put a stick of memory into their computer.

I am more than certain that it's not 4 cores, but 4 threads belonging to two physical cores which are bundled with a Zephyr core each. SMT is low hanging fruit and it was just a question of time when apple would pick it.

The retarded marketing department at Intel decided to make this chip useless by capping memory options at 32 GB. Please Apple fix that by going big on your own processor designs, even if it takes time to get things right like SMT.
