Looking at where the M1 Ultra is performance wise and looking forward to the next step...what's the point? We still have to see non-Apple benchmark comparisons to know for sure whether the M1 Ultra stacks up like Apple says it does, but all of this computational capacity that Apple is potentially hoarding at the high end is only useful for a couple of areas that Apple has absolutely no horses for (software) to move and the industries that are there are already mobilized on hardware built with completely different blueprints.
We're talking about 3D gaming, scientific simulation, VR and back end server operation. Being able to simultaneously run 100 4k video streams isn't even practically useful for editors.
No disrespect, but Apple Arcade devs aren't going to cut it.
Apple really does need to acquire an EA, a HPE, a Sony, a Unity and/or an Epic games to at least get to a point where they can utilize the hardware with software that works for it and have a path forward that makes sense, rather than get ahead not really have any utilization and then rest until they're behind AGAIN.
