Yeah, forgot about that beast. That would beat it. A multi-chip Epyc or high-end Xeon would beat it too, but that'll set you back almost as much as the Mac Pro.

A 32-core pro would still win hands down in power efficiency. A 64-core Threadripper or a multi-Epyc would be a nice extra space heater in cold climates though.
