It's a little interesting that that are going to the Video 1st/ Training second model and abandoning the HPC market where they can't compete with high, multi TB workstations.

But I guess it's playing to the strength that video decode/encode has right now with the M series chips.

I wish that they would have a tiered memory expansion, eg 192gb fast tier, and expandable to 1.5TB slower but DDR5 expandable.

I imagine they did the research and found that most people with HPC needs are just renting it, and those that aren’t renting aren’t filling a data center with fucking apples.

Interesting that they added a rackmount option though. At a $500 premium too, I guess it’s mostly for iOS developer build servers.

It's for audio/video people who have their gear in racks in the studio, or have a flight case with all their audio gear pre-configured that they haul from gig to gig.
