Nice unit with CPU and GPU for compute workloads such as AI etc.
I think it probably has more utility for the creative types who want a high powered local apple machine. That isn't really required for AI, you can do all your programming on say a MacBook Pro but then use the cloud for any heavy lifting or indeed some local linux server which you might well build for much less since it doesn't require a particularly pricey CPU - it is mostly the GPU you're making use of.
Edit... just seen the specs... not to mention they're shipping them with AMD GPUs not NVIDIA so not much use in a lot of cases!
