@ianRobinson@mastodon.social @atpfm@mastodon.social I was reading about how audio professionals are going to be in a bind, because Thunderbolt apparently has some detectable latency that PCIE sails through.
This will never happen, but I’d love to see a Mac Studio with a PCIE receptacle on the bottom that could connect into a card enclosure with a widdle interface poking out of the top.

@Eric_Neue@indieweb.social @ianRobinson@mastodon.social @atpfm@mastodon.social Beyond latency concerns, this doesn't solve the Thunderbolt bandwidth problem (being 1/4 of max PCIe slot bandwidth). What I think Apple needs to do is: - Add "bonded multiple cable connections" to the Thunderbolt spec to allow 2-4 Thunderbolt cables between a Mac and a PCIe card slot chassis. - Then ship such a chassis for $1999 :)
