We don’t know what Apple is paying Intel for their CPUs, but for everyone else, Intel charges a pretty big premium for Xeon-branded CPUs for features like ECC memory that I’m honestly not sure most iMac Pro customers would miss, if it meant a cheaper starting price.
Apple could switch to Cascade Lake-X and actually bump up the base iMac Pro to 10 cores while potentially lowering the price. That would be a pretty killer combination, I think.
and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
