> I wonder if we're going to see different processors (M3X or M4) for the next release of the pro desktops
I don't think they care much about pro desktops given the pretty embarrassing MacPro. They just don't mean much for the bottom line compared to consumer lifestyle devices.
I expect they would be happily rid of the customer segment - annoying power users wanting low-level access and customisation. They keep their machines for too long and don't give much upselling opportunity for subscriptions, fashion accessories, house and family trinkets.
Apple just created a whole new Mac last year. It's a desktop. Last time they had created a new Mac was so long ago no one remembers.
For so long it was just Macbook Air, Macbook Pro, iMac, Mac Mini, Mac Pro. Now there's a whole new family member and it's a desktop. Apple is managing the slow death of desktops very well.
