That's what a Mac Pro is for: it has always been "too much" for us, but useful for some.
To give some perspective: the current version can go up to 28 Xeon W cores, 1.5TB or RAM, Radeon Pro Vega II Duo with 2 x 32 GB, ...

It’s difficult to feel sorry for big media when they put forth so little effort…

They mean phones and Macs now both run ARM chips... Doesn't mean same apps of course.
