That ultrafusion thing is actually pretty cool. I imagine it acts like a giant crossbar with fifos, and not so much an asynchronous bus. But who knows. If apple wanted to do a 2x Ultra, they’d presumably need an interposer die to extend the bus left or right, and things would get much more complicated. So probably won’t see that until M2.

128GB memory isn’t bad. 16+4 cores. 64 core GPU. 32 neural engine cores. 2x media engine. So it seems like it would work for most configurations of a future Mac Pro, but maybe not the very highest end configurations.

hah! It was actually *here* that I predicted the 20 core M1 would be called “Ultra.”
 
Ultra, yes, shove that in the new chubby boy!!
 
Yes! Woo! Studio with Max and Ultra.
 
I have absolutely no need for it, but I want a mac studio just because it looks cool.

I need to get a job on The apple silicon team, so I’d have a need for such a machine.
 
Those are some womping-big fans. Must run at low RPMs.

They get an unimaginable amount of traffic on that site so it's no surprise during an event like this.
 
OK. Nice. I'm waiting for the price though...

I wonder if the optical audio connection is back?

Yeah but I’ve been watching events on MR since 2016 and I don’t remember that ever happening before! But I’ll hang here with the cool kids. :p

Edit: it’s back but who cares ;)
 
Someone at Apple thinks you can only show two bars on a bar graph

Someone needs to tell Arn to add a server to his farm lol. But yeah, Cmaier runs this place like a well oiled machine.
 
Is that the Super Bowl half-time set behind her?

I am getting really nervous waiting for the price.
I think it is going to be… unprecedented!

Would love to upgrade for my music and photography but it's more likely than not that it will be out of my price range.
