A 32-core or 64-core Threadripper Pro workstation with a few hundred GB of RAM can easily run north of $10.000 and people buy them. The price is not an issue if the computer is fast enough. The question is how fast would a hypothetical 40-core or 48-core M2 Extreme be. Sure, Threadripper makes economical sense for AMD only when "subsidised" by EPYC/Ryzen sales and the shared chiplet architecture. But Apple has deep enough pockets for halo products. They are allegedly repurposing some of the binned/sub-par silicon into internal server hardware anyway. |
