Im really interested in buying the XDR display. But does it work with the iMac Pro?

Ob Apples it’s only listed the last iMac Gen not the iMac Pro? Is that really true I mean the iMac Pro has a lot of more horsepower?
 
The Thunderbolt controller in the iMac Pro does not support enough video bandwidth to drive the display at native 6k, only 5k. It will run it in 5k, but not full resolution, unless attached to an eGPU with its own higher bandwidth controller

Only the Blackmagic eGPU has Titan Ridge Thunderbolt controller connected to GPU in the eGPU but people have reported that it doesn't allow 5K with iMac Pro.

Reportedly a firmware update is coming for the Blackmagic.
