The new Mac Pro GPU story has to be at least as good, if not significantly better than what’s already available in the Intel Mac Pro. Two M1 Ultra GPUs might match one W6900X, but it wouldn’t beat TWO W6900X or FOUR W6800X. But on the GPU front, 128-core dual M1 Ultra GPUs would be pretty good, but definitely not equivalent or superior than the current Mac Pro’s highest possible GPU configs - two W6800X Duo MPX modules (4 GPUs!) or two W6900X GPUs. The rumored 40-core dual-M1 Ultra CPU seems like it ticks that box on the CPU front, that should offer way better performance than the current Xeons. None of Apple’s Mac Pro customers want to see the Mac Pro change from the familiar, supported, stable Intel + AMD architecture unless Apple Silicon offers them dramatic, undeniable benefits. Mac Pro is not for consumers or prosumers - they are already covered with the current M1 lineup. The Mac Pro in its current form has to be WAY more powerful than both the current Intel Mac Pro and the next best M1 Mac, the Mac Studio, or else it can’t justify its existence. Money is no object, and neither is power consumption. The reason for the Mac Pro’s existence is to offer totally mind-blowing capabilities at the highest possible tiers of performance. I completely agree that it seems most likely that Apple Silicon Mac Pro will re-introduce AMD GPU support.
