Isn't the Mac Studio sort of the replacement for the Mac Pro? The branding is different, but it's certainly the beefier Mac you can get at the moment.

No – they explicitly stated at the time the Studio was released that a new Pro is on the way.

I would expect it to be released around the November timeframe, which would mark two years since the first M1 release and matches with the two-year transition timeline they initially pitched.

I wasn't aware of that statement. Guess in time we'll get news about the Pro.

I'm wondering how much "Pro" market is left after the Studio - which must have cannibalized some of the sales that would normally have gotten a Mac Pro.

Apple does seem to be one of those companies that are quite happy with cannibalising themselves. It's probably more important and beneficial long term when users stay within the ecosystem than totally offload themselves to Windows/Linux.

Sure - but then it gets harder to exactly define the Mac Pro compared to the Studio (especially since right now the defining thing would be video cards, which isn't something that the M* processors really support yet).

That’s the thing I can’t really square. The Studio even approaches Pro prices at the upper configurations.
