I'm pretty sure Apple wouldn't make it so convoluted to know what features you'd enable with what CPU and what configuration. As it stands now, this is the dark and icky side of enterprise computing that's being shown with X299, where you'd need to look at spec sheets and small print to figure out how many PCIe lanes, DDR channels, RAID array configurations is enabled by what product or add-on and what you'd have to pay extra for seemingly standard technology.It's frustrating to see Intel make the HEDT platform such a mess in so little time. I wish they'd just continued like they were doing. Even if they didn't have a 16-core or better this year, they would have still been able to recuperate next year. It's not like they lost the war by losing one battle.
