Apple must have had an interest in going with AMD - the fact that they didn't makes me think that getting macOS ready as a productive, reliable OS on AMD CPUs isn't as trivial as we might assume. Also, is Thunderbolt even an option with AMD?

Isn't the iMac a better option then the Mac Pro? It certainly is from a performance per buck option, but perhaps just in general?

I see no reason why that should be a problem. And yes, AMD has thunderbolt too.

I think you nailed it... Thunderbolt is not possible on AMD.
