As someone who just invested in a Mac Pro late last year, I'm a bit frustrated. I wanted years for a modular design that I could keep and upgrade over a longer time only to find out I'll be forcefully phased out within 2 years.

Apple doesn't do modular
So they are releasing a new MacMini within one year? That is pretty amazing. Previously they would go at least 2 years between revamps. I guess the MacMini is becoming more important?
They used to sell a higher end mac mini. It seems that they are simply bringing back that configuration.
This new design will likely replace that one in Apple's lineup, but it never went away.

There should be a cooper pipe between the CPU and cooler like this one[1]. Seriously, WTF? Where is it? 1: https://i0.wp.com/lemmymorgan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01...
Here's an example teardown: https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/iUejB4OfKlPD4Fex.hug... The heat pipe is the part just above and to the left of the fan.
It says the split for performance versus efficiency cores will be: - 20 total, 16 high performance, 4 efficiency - 40 total, 32 high performance, 8 efficiency Which is kind of interesting given that the 8 core M1 is split half/half at 4 high performance, 4 efficiency. Sounds like perhaps MacOS doesn't typically have more than 4 cores worth of low-priority work, regardless of the system size/workload?
The MBP M1x will have 8 Firestorm cores, 2 Icestorm cores and 16 or 32 GPU cores, support more ports, and up to 64Gb RAM.
These are going to fly, probably close to double multicore performance over M1, and up to 4X graphics performance.
>Compared to it’s N5 node, N3 promises to improve performance by 10-15% at the same power levels, or reduce power by 25-30% at the same transistor speeds.

It would certainly help pack that many cores into a small space without throttling.

Why does he take the back cover off and complain that the air flow and cooling don’t work properly?
Because it helps gets more views on YouTube which is the only thing he is after. Him patronizing the thermal design of Apple computers that way is pretty funny, ngl.
