    Once more, this whole M1X (Max) is like a cpu revolution. I've never seen such significant jumps in this field like what Apple is doing in the past years with their Silicon.

    This new M1X Max MBP has like 100x-1000x more power than the $200K-500K priced SGI machines from the mid 90's.

    I would love to see some Houdini Smoke & Fluid simulations tests on these new MBP's.

    • you missed the amiga chipset architecture in the 80's?
      kids suddenly had cray render power in their bedrooms.

    • I'm a 90's kid, I grew up with SGI's ;)NBQ00

    • I miss the 90snb
    • It’s crazy how it outperforms their top Mac Pro with the afterburner card. And in a tiny efficient package. Could easily fit it into a Mac mini size enclosure.monospaced
    • They should just take the Mac Pro off the site until the updated M2 version is out. Who would pay $20K-$50K when you can just buy a $4K MBP?NBQ00
    • Exactly. Or just make a Mac Pro that is this but without the laptop or iMac form factor. Would so slick.monospaced
    • You are comparing this to a SGI workstation, that's retarded.i_was
    • If you compare it to the current maxed out Mac Pro for 7x the price it still holds true.monospaced
    • Not the 1000x part, but it is faster.monospaced
