That doesn't mean the design *can't*, just that they *haven't*.
Exactly — so far, their focus hasn't been on it.

It'll be interesting to see what Apple's bigger Mac CPUs look like. The Air just went from two to four cores (depending on the config) to having 4+4 cores even at the lowest end. The 16-inch Pro will probably at least go to an 8+4 config, maybe even 8+8?

I'm less sure what that means for the Mac Pro, though. High-efficiency cores matter less on it, and I'm also not sure Apple's heart is particularly in 28-core setups.
