Oh bulltwinkles.
None the less the just announced Mac Pro is still an appealing machine for many users especially audio and avoiding stupid Thunderbolt expansion chassis. The sting might be when Apple and TSMC actually get production issues behind them and deliver M3 silicon with an expected significant performance kick. I've not had time to see if Apple committed or hinted any future CPU upgradeability/motherboard swaps with the new Mac Pro.
It's just not a high-end workstation in say Threadripper Pro workstation territory, way less cores, way less memory etc. No CUDA compatible GPUs (well no surprise there)..., and there is a Zen 4 Threadripper Pro maybe coming late this year. But thats all likely a side effect of TSMC delivery woes and problem with a very high-end processor packaging. What Apple has done for now is finally plugged an embarrassing hole in its product line up, good they have done that but I hope they do much better.
