Let's assume a Mac Studio M5 would start at $1999, and that a M5 Max upgrade 128 GB would be about the 1000 it is now. Then an M5 Ultra 768 would be something like $1999 + 1000 + $4000 - cheaper than the current top of the line (which will never happen) so I'd presume about the same $10,000.

Or they could finally make the Mac Pro respectable and have it two M5 Ultra Mac Studios stuck together (or give it NUMA RAM: on chip + expandable).

I was betting on the 1TB Mac Studio, but half a terabyte was already an insane amount of memory.
Apple clearly no longer cares about workstation market, Mac Pro has joined OS X Server.
Hasn’t in been that way for years? Almost all of the people I’ve seen selling used Mac Pros use them for creating music. I assume the studio is a better, cheaper option.
Workstations are more than just music, and there are still a few folks that still believe Apple will some day release a new Mac Pro that fits their hardware needs, without having to go either Windows or Linux.
