Apple Mac Pro 2022 Rumored to Feature Custom 64-Core Processor & Sell For 19,000 USD
Apple relaunched the Mac Pro in 2019 with a return to the original tower form factor and packing 24-core Intel Xeon-W processors paired with AMD Radeon Pro Vega GPUs. Apple is reportedly planning to release a fourth-generation Mac Pro in 2022 with the most powerful Apple silicon yet. The 2022 Mac Pro will be available in three base configurations with 32, 48, and 64 core versions featuring new processors developed by Apple with similar performance and power-efficient core designs as found in the Apple M1.
The entry-level 32 core model will include 24 high-performance cores, 32 GPU cores, 64 GB ram, and will start at 5,499 USD. The mid-range 48 core model will include 36 high-performance cores, 64 GPU cores, 256 GB ram, and will start at 11,999 USD. The highest-end 64 core model will include 48 high-performance cores, 128 GPU cores, 512 GB ram, and will start at 18,999 USD. Storage options will vary from 512 GB to 8 TB of SSD storage as is currently available. These machines are shaping up to be some of the most powerful prosumer computers available if these rumors are true.

I'd love to build a modern system into a modded G5 or cMP case. Actually sold a G5 to a friend a few years back who wanted to do just that.
overkill like shooting somebody who is already down over and over
The last ATX case that was actually good looking from Lian Li was V720, I think there was mATX and ITX versions also. It looks pretty classy but I never got to try it so I'm not sure how it performs.
Well, Apple Mac Pro is what we are expecting, so to see what Apple has really managed to do with M1. This will be extremely interesting in direct comparison with EPYC and XEON, both in application performance as much as in power consumption and efficiency when under full load. At idle will be great thanks to those little cores.
The cheese grater design shown in the article above however is not.
This also matches the M1X/M2 rumours of 12 big cores, could be a derivative.
I don't understand the GPU cores and their scaling, unless they're separate dies as well, otherwise you're getting a distributed GPU mixing up the CPU and GPU and other functions, although I guess Metal could abstract some of this multi-GPU design's difficulties away. I hope this is a separate package with its own memory. And I hope standard PCIe graphics cards will also be usable.
Suffice to say I am skeptical about any of this being realized, I highly suspect only half of the cores are gonna be of the "big" kind. And that means they'll still trail behind comparable x86 CPUs.
V1000 = O11 Mini
V2000 = O11 Dynamic
V3000 = Slightly taller and deeper version of O11XL
I might try to find the mATX version on eBay and keep it around for my next build since everything on the market that isn't iTX is pretty hideous. Hopefully Lian Li starts making some new all AL designs again soon.
