Apple and Intel may have one last round to go where the Mac Pro is concerned.
Per a reliable leaked known as “YuuKi_AnS,” a 2022 Mac Pro will use Intel Xeon W-3300 series CPUs. The tweet, released by the leaker, suggests that Apple will release an Intel variant of the Mac Pro in 2022 in some form or another. This could be released on its own or alongside an M-series Mac Pro to cover both markets of pro users.
The next-gen Mac Pro has been rumored to feature a processor known as “Jade” or the “M1X,” and is thought to be an Apple Silicon processor with up to 40 cores and a dedicated GPU.
It’s also thought that an Apple Silicon version of the Mac Pro would use a case half the current model’s size. It’s also been speculated that the new design and processor would limit professionals to custom Apple hardware, however.
Both rumored models could be released in the same year to please all of its professional customers.
YuuKi_AnS has been reporting on Intel processors, particularly workstation ones, for several years, with good accuracy.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
