Since Mac has long since stopped using the Motorola processor line in favor of Intel, how is a Mac more “insanely powerful” than the equivalent PC?

Find and price out an “equivalent” PC to the new MacPro. Make sure it truly IS an equivalent professional grade workstation. You may find it very difficult to do.

Don’t forget the 32” professional grade reference monitor. . . Apple’s 32” 6K is $5,995.00.

Sony’s manufactured suggested retail price for their 31” 4K reference monitor is $42,000. . . You can probably find it discounted for ~$35,000 and used for $28,000.

Here's a PC equivalent of the low end Mac Pro 8 core:

And here is a 28 core:
