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?

Macs will be moving to Apples own chips soon and dropping Intel.. not sure when but I would expect it sooner than later

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.

It is really hard to find a PC workstation with the same horsepower as the upcoming MacPro, as it uses server and datacenter level processors at its heart. Historically, Macs have not come with the best graphics options. Some would argue that the MacOS has less overhead and flotsam than a Windows 10 system would, though I believe that is less true than it once was.

As always, Apple is happy to charge a premium for its products.
