I fail to see the purpose of a MacPro over a Mac Studio.

I know it has pci slots, but can someone tell me how they will realistically be used? Used in a way that can’t be done with thunderbolt.

The pricing seems absurd compared to a Mac Studio.

    A lot of media applications where you need audio cards, capture cards, etc.

    For just a computer it’s extremely expensive. For multimedia use it can run the workload of a rack of equipment 5x the cost.

    I agree that the price seems ridiculous. Maybe a 1000 dollar upcharge may make sense but 3000?

    At 28:47 in this interview with Apple execs, https://youtu.be/DgLrBSQ6x7E it seems they argue it’s for PCIE expansion, where in audio production or networking potential buyers already have very expensive cards they would like to continue using
