Unfair comparison. ARM takes more performance from less memory, compared to x86.

Memory bandwidth of 800GB/sec is something. Intel Mac Pro had half of that which means ARM Mac Pro can do twice the work with its memory. Add faster SSD and we are at 3X performance easily.

Just for comparison, I have 2TB SSD for nightly backups. The idea of ARM processor handling that two terabytes in two and a half seconds is mindblowing.

No need for terabyte memory for now.

EDIT:
... and by the way, the 2019 towers also maxed out at 192GB memory if you bought the normal priced sticks. You needed the more expensive LR-DIMMs for more than 192GB and if you maxxed at 1.5TB your bank manager was happy. For a cheap price of 53 thousand dollars you bought yourself bragging rights that are already obsolete. And that is without display and other peripherals. Must have been most overpriced Mac ever!
