You think they will skip M4 ultra? May be they slowly plan to launch ultra chips alternate years since the development costs are high and demand is niche.
If they do a 1TB m5 ultra, I too would be configuring one for sure.
I hope so! I already have the M4 mini pro - would like to bump up the prompt processing time and the memory bandwidth at the same time with the new M5 matmul changes.
I know pandas has a lot of technical warts and shortcomings, but I'm grateful for how much it empowered me early in my data/software career, and the API still feels more ergonomic to me due to the years of usage - plus GeoPandas layering on top of it.
Really, prefer DuckDB SQL these days for anything that needs to perform well, and feel like SQL is easier to grok than python code most of the time.

I switched to this as well and its mainly because explorations would need to be translated to SQL for production anyways. If I start with pandas I just need to do all the work twice.
chdb's new DataStore API looks really neat (drop in pandas replacement) and exactly how I envisioned a faster pandas could be without sacrificing its ergonomics
The M5 ultra series is supposed to have some big gains around prompt processing - something like 3-4x from what I've read. I'm tempted to swap out my m4 mini that I'm using for this kind of stuff right now!
