I'm a little sad that we didn't get a new Pro #Macintosh this year. Not that I need one. Good lord, no. My M1 MacBook Air is still more than sufficient for everything I do.
I just wanted to see what a less thermally-constrained #AppleSilicon system might be able to do.

@mbessey I read a rumor that they were having difficulty getting good performance with external DRAM, as opposed to the DRAM that is normally integrated into the silicon that we’ve seen so far with M1/M2.

@GeorgeMari memory bandwidth is definitely the interesting question to be answered there. If you acknowledge that many "pro" workflows need large amounts of RAM, then you have to figure out either how to do a large shared off-package memory that "looks" like it's on-package, or, I suppose, give up on a unified memory model for the Pro machine.
