I doubt Apple is particularly happy that Skylake-W is a fair bit slower than Coffee Lake-S (or that Cascade Lake-W has a TDP so much higher it probably won't fit in the iMac Pro).
It's arguably a fool me twice, shame on me situation, though. How many times can Apple repeat this mistake of believing that Intel will keep iterating on a particular TDP?
