Altium is far from the only choice for professionals, but if you have to ask, you can't afford them.

The Shannon-Nyquist sampling theorem only defines the sample rate to perfectly reproduce a signal of a certain bandwidth.

It says nothing about noise, distortion, dynamic range. In these areas it is impossible to create a "perfect" DAC, although granted the best DACs are indistinguishable from perfect as far as human perception is concerned.

AMD HBM GPUs, the only ones that a PC gamer would buy, are known to suffer from issues with the HBM due to thermal cycling issues

415 volts on a 30A breaker, like you might find in an undergraduate electrical engineering lab, is very lethal. I'd hazard a guess that's what the OP is talking about.

IBM had 5GHZ in 2014. [1] Clock speed is not a measure of performance alone.

Besides, most of the work in reaching a certain clock speed or target can be owed to the foundry (in this case TSMC which is world-leading, certainly beating Intel on most metrics at the moment.)

Comparing to the over-tuned enthusiast SKU of 2018 is not a fair comparison for either. Also 600W is not impossible to cool, there are GPUs at that level of power for a while now.
