MP 7,1 WWDC 2022, I was promised the demise of the 7.1 Mac Pro, where is it!

I’ve lost hope of ever seeing another Intel Mac Pro and the Apple Silicon version when it does come, will be more of the same. I’m thankful that Apple made the Mac Pro 7,1 in response to terrible iMac Pro reviews even though they lied to us about providing regular updates, they did provide one of the the most modular Macs ever made.

And in the end, that's the most important part of all of this. The 7.1 will be sticking around for a decade if not longer and EASILY. The reason I say this is because it is a modular machine designed at the peak of what we would even need a machine this powerful for as indie artists and professionals and quite frankly, if I NEVER updated my machine from where it is RIGHT NOW, it would still be powerful enough to do any work I would need it to do for literally the next decade. It'll take Apple 5 years to make a machine more powerful than my current build and once my 32TB of internal storage and 1.5TB of ram are finally complete, combined with upgrading from my 2 w6800x duo's to the w7800x duos when those release, Apple won't have create a system that can compete with this for 10 years without question. The ONLY way they do, is if they do the only move they have left...and I'll be honest, I am HOPING that they do...but their only move to trump our current 7.1 will be if 8.1 or 9.1 5 years down actually allow for PCIe GPU support. Those are the only two plays they have. Allow the GPUs we have on our intel Macs to be used on the AS Mac Pro's as well, and if they really want us to abandon the 7.1 allow drivers for NVIDIA again. They do that and it's over for the 7.1 They DON'T DO THAT...7.1 will remain the king of kings in the Apple ecosystem for 10 more years.

What type of internal storage with 32tb

In the world of 3C, there is no such thing as "always the fastest and the best". When Steve abandoned flash, customers still often demand flash production, but the real fact is: html5 is the rising sun, and flash is already the twilight.

Yes, that's how I see the intel products in apple's product line. It still works (even though it's unreasonably expensive), and it will still work for the next decade (as long as it doesn't break), but it's a product that will become obsolete.

Apple will surely prove this at some point in the future, otherwise why would Apple release silicon, but so what? If someone always has to have the fastest mac/pc, or feels sad, uncomfortable, angry, or miserable that the mac/pc they are using is about to become obsolete, that's fine, just have your money ready.
