Maybe buying a 5950X at the birth of DDR5, PCIeGen5 and TSMC's 5nm wasn't the wisest choice. Ehhhh seems like all that new stuff would still take lots of time to actually get ready, and the 5950X is the best CPU now.

Ah well at least I can now run my test suite 3 times faster compared to my 16” i9 macbook pro so I’m happy.

From 60s to 20s every run is huge for me.

I expect the new 16" / 14" to have dual M1 cpus. It would solve the number of external display issue. Also, it would bump the RAM to 32GB.

Then the next step, a new Mac Pro, would have up to 4 M1 CPU's. Sounds very sweet to me.

No way the M1 supports "dual socket" configurations. Absolutely no way a configuration like that would "combine" the GPUs and display outputs. I'd bet money on Apple releasing a larger monolithic "M1X" or whatever for the large MBPs.

Is that stock, PBO or manual OC? It's quite wattage limited at stock, you might go significantly under 20s with PBO :D
