Apple Had M1 Mac Pro Ready to Ship Months Ago, Mac Mini Redesign Unlikely

And which one of those are you?

I'm the one who ISN'T making an extraordinary claim without extraordinary proof. Cynicism is not evidence.

it's not a full SSD, it's basically socketed NAND, there's no controller

The ultimate control freakery. Remove the controller.

The ultimate control freakery. Remove the controller.

It’s not exactly radically different from how RAM typically works on any standard PC, especially now that the northbridge functions have mostly been merged into the CPU on most AMD and Intel options.

The only real problem is it isnt standard, if socketed NAND of that form factor and controllers in the CPU/SoC were standard this wouldnt be an issue at all

Says who? Not Apple. They've said pretty clearly that in their minds, they started the clock in November.

I'm willing to concede they still might miss the November 2022 deadline. Of course Apple said it would take "about" 2 years.

And when an update is down loading the time of 1 minute 59 seconds is "about" 1 minute in Apple terminology. So "about" 2 years could be anything up to 2 years 364 days. I hope it isn't that long, I hasten to add, but Apple's "about" can be a bit misleading.

Mac Pro..with SoC.....seems a pipedream...expansion slots

The Mac Pro is not for 'most people'. People who way top dollar for a Mac Pro expect industry leading performance.

But the thing people are missing, post house’s and facilities these machines excel in don’t upgrade and purchase like consumers do. It goes through finance and planning and takes a while to be approved and budgets for the year. They don’t just spend money when new systems launch. They often run them for years and years.
