I guess that should also translate into possibly higher prices for the Mac Pro/Studio line? Or not? I don't really know, but not worrying about GPU prices feels nice.

    Apples neural engine cores aren’t as good as nvidias tensor cores, which is considered “the best” hardware for AI (I don’t know what AMD does). Even the Mac Pro with pcie can’t run GPUs, so that shouldn’t be an issue. Nobody bought Macs for mining crypto in 2021, so it’s less likely people will do it with AI.
