This needs to be sold as the big ticket item for low level devs. Their chips are some of the most power efficient chips on the market right now.

Hoping they release a blade server version somehow.

Nvidia's recent GPUs are more power-efficient than Apple Silicon in raster, training and inference workloads.

A blade server would get cancelled just like the Mac Pro for exactly the same reasons: https://9to5mac.com/2026/03/02/some-apple-ai-servers-are-rep...

I think you can do better than the proverbial Apples and Oranges comparison.

In terms of total system, "box on desk", Apple is likely to remain the performance per watt leader compared to random PC workstations with whatever GPUs you put inside.

Then ignore me, and go ask your local datacenter why Apple Silicon isn't on any of their racks.
Because they're stupid and only buys stuff that's "safe". Because nobody gets fired for buying IBM.
Apple releasing anything enterprise or "server" related would be a pretty big pivot - let alone blades.
