Annually Intel Xeons for all PCs probably ship a conservative 2.75 million of 275 million.In all those chips the same die will be used. So the volume will be relatively great for a high end die. The only thing they would do in small quantities is the stacking of the dies into packages. But I think that's not the problem here.
Just because the old iMac was capable of powering such kinds of chips does not mean the new iMac has to do the same. I just think it would be strange to have (almost) no performance advantage to the iMac with the Mac Pro.
The Mac Pro was always a low volume product. It is not a cash cow for Apple like the iPhone or the MacBook Air or even the MacBook Pro. It is a proof of concept. It is still there because it is the fastest Mac which is almost exclusively in the hands of real pros so they can vouch for Apple products. And it's simply a showcase for Apple where they put all on the line what they have. So the Mac Pro does not need to be high volume. It has just to be fast und useful for pros.
Annually for 22.5 million Macs I expect 0.225 million Jade-2C & Jade-4C. If you want to increase volume then put it into as many form factors as possible.
The product lines I've ID'd have adequate PSU output are candidates for these 2 chips.
There is ~4.5 million of 22.5 million Macs that will get M1 Pro/Max, Jade-2C & Jade-4C
People who buy pro desktops can afford them. No need to have a use case.
