I think that the higher specced versions leave the personal computer space and enter into the server space. $50k+ for a high CPU and high GPU compute server node isn't out of the question. I think that the XDR display is the most offensively priced.

Even if you had an unlimited budget this thing is a terrible purchase, the price hikes per performance are ridiculous compared to what you can get in the rest of the workstation sector and limiting you to AMD graphics cards seriously limits the processing potential, almost all GPGPU apps and engines run off CUDA.
It almost feels like this has been designed spitefully, they've made something so weirdly overpriced and niche that it's a guaranteed flop and they can finally justify killing the whole line. There are only so many editors working on Marvel movies in the world... and most would probably prefer something that can be upgraded every few months.
