Costs about $100 each at the fab for a 8 core CPU. For the 64 core about 1.5x that cost. Yet they are trying to sell this for 5k. It's really just marketing and putting dollars back into R/D. Sad
Unless you have very specialized workloads and an absolute need to swap parts, this is no longer the way to go.

Do you people really think Thunderbolt 5 is really the fastest protocol that computers have to offer? People doing real work need closer, faster access to the CPU and that means direct PCiE connections, something Apple only offers in their Mac Pro lineup. But the problem with that is that Apple Silicon wasn't made to play with others. It's a closed system. This Threadripper and its EPYC cousin are the real deal. Mac Studio Super Ultra isn't it.
