## What Jamie wrote

Interesting article about how this new T2 chip in the iMac Pro is handling a significant amount of non-CPU and non-GPU work.

> On most Macs, there are discrete controllers for audio, system management and disk drives. But the T2 handles all these tasks. The T2 is responsible for controlling the iMac Pro’s stereo speakers, internal microphones, and dual cooling fans, all by itself.

The two-stage boot process is interesting and I think a first.
