Reply to comment by LSeww in Future Mac Pro may use Apple Silicon & PCI-E GPUs in parallel by chrisdh79

Couldn’t they split the ARM soc so it’s like x86 pcs? Separate GPU and CPU (Apple silicon) for desktops? Then they could offer future upgrades up to a certain point in time

That would reduce the bandwidth between the CPU and RAM. Makes more sense to be able to plug in more/new cpus

This, is exactly what I suspect they’re gonna bring to the table. 8x PCI-E x16, pluggable SOC’s. If they’re like M1/M2 you could make the whole board just a backplane.
