## What Jamie wrote

The new Mac Pro is not a machine that anyone probably needs at home, unless you have more cash than you know what to do with. 💰 It is an amazing performer for engineering and high-end workloads though.

> Now, ordinarily these computations are run on a supercomputer and cost thousands of dollars per solution, or you’d need to build a cluster for $15-20K or more. But with 28 cores and the ability to handle up to 1.5TB of memory, the Mac Pro is a competitive alternative.

The fact that you can get that performance at all is incredible. Note the graphs in this article compare to an iMac Pro, which is already a very fast machine.
