Called it months ago.
So, I called it four months ago, but the Mac Pro is officially dead.

Is this the second or third time the Mac Pro has officially died?
I honestly thought it was already dead in like 2010??
That was the trash can; they brought back a modified cheese grater with the M1 chip.
It's gone for good now, fully replaced by the Mac Studio.
I miss the XServe.
I miss osx server and the rackmount.
I miss those powermac cases with doors. Those were peak.
hasn't been updated in years. maybe at all? not a big surprise.
With the increase in thunderbolt capacity and the lack of gpu cards there wasn’t a lot of use for the pci- slots in 2026.
The new Mac studios really filled the needs for many that the Mac Pro targeted.
Even PCs are leaning in that direction now, eg. with Strix Halo's IGP legitimately beating some mid-range GPUs.
This was a pro machine, so you'd be expecting only high end GPU's to be slotted. However it won't matter without drivers.
Gotta find something else to grate your cheese.
Perhaps the best looking Mac ever made (IMO) but doesn’t make much sense with how apple does things these days. Just wish I could get a PC case that looks like that.
They'll be on ebay for cheap once the hardware is obsolete
Great looking case though. These are gonna make some cool projects in 5-10 years
