Doesn’t make sense. If true, why did the new SE use the current chip? Why now the change? 

The USB-C connection has more bandwidth on the new version, which will make a difference if you get the studio monitor. 

Apple updated the SE and iPad Air which are the consumer stuff and complain about a pro computer being expensive? The Studio beats the Mac Pro and is cheaper. Yes this is more expensive than many can afford, however this is for Pros and Apple neglected that area for a long time. Let the pros have their computers. They have done the ROI calculations and can write it off.

Well, it looks good on number in the presentation. But let’s not forget the Ultra is comparing with a 2 year old Xeon. 2 years is a lot in computer technology. Not to mention, arguably AMD’s Epyc is the fastest CPU in the PC world. 

Let’s hope the future Mac Pro will be even faster with 4/8 sets of CPU. But it might cost $8000 on the entry model.

Intel's offerings until just recently have remained stagnant on the Xeon side.  It's only right to compare it with Apple's current Mac Pro offerings, even though it's 2 years old.  It's still incredible how Apple has pushed the performance envelope in those two years where Intel was nowhere to be seen.

While AMD's offerings is also impressive, when compared in terms of performance-per-watt, ASi outperforms them both.

Honestly, I don’t understand why Apple is so emphasis on performance/watt. Sure save energy is good and less noise from fan. But no one really care if their $100000 sports car use much less gas than the next car. People care about how fast it can go and how it handle the corner, not gas/miles.

Many reasons to be energy efficient. Apple is pushing and being pushed to be environmentally friendly. More efficient computers is less power, fan usage, and cooling needed. One computer isn’t significant, millions of computers are. More efficient computers allow longer run time on UPSs during a power outage. Solar is still expensive, so. Using less power, means less solar is needed. Think about racks of these computers. I’m warmed up behind a half rack of servers in a cold room. Power efficiency is a huge deal when dealing with a rack or more of computers.

Just the Java versions of Minecraft are affected. The bedrock versions are fine. So mobile, console and Win10 versions are good. There is no bedrock version for Macs as Microsoft will not allow the iOS versions to run on ASi Macs. Java versions will not cross play with the bedrock versions. 

OMFG, do everyone a favour and never speak of anything technical again! This is so incorrect, not funny...

Go to ArsTechnica, read the two articles there, educate yourself.

Paragraph 2 of the link Crowley posted points out it is only Java versions. This is a Java vulnerability, thus Java versions are affected. Bedrock versions are not built using Java, however they are built using c++. I read several articles on ArsTechnica and elsewhere. I run a bedrock server on an old Mac mini. I play a little bit on the bedrock versions just to play with my child. I have had to learn the differences.
