What is the point of the MacPro? (beehaw.org)

I fail to see the purpose of a MacPro over a Mac Studio.

I know it has pci slots, but can someone tell me how they will realistically be used? Used in a way that can't be done with thunderbolt.

The pricing seems absurd compared to a Mac Studio.

Yeah, fair enough, this makes sense.

It certainly feels like a legacy concern to some extent though. Like the trashcan Pro was exactly what it needed to be, but people weren’t ready to shift their hardware out to Thunderbolt just yet. Perhaps the next generation of Mac Pro will return to that form factor.
