> I’m expecting Apple to release a new Mac Pro in the next couple years

I think Apple is done with expansion slots, etc.

You'll likely see M5 Mac Studios fairly soon.

I’m not saying a Mac Pro with expansion slots, I’m saying a Mac Pro whose marketing angle is locally running AI models. A hungry market that would accept moderate performance and is already used to bloated price tags has to have them salivating.

I think the hold up here is whether TSMC can actually deliver the M5 Pro/Ultra and whether the MLX team can give them a usable platform.
