If you’re hankering for the Apple Silicon Mac Pro, it may not happen this year.
In fact, Apple may hold off on releasing the next generation of Mac Pro tower until the M2 chip lineup is ready for production.
During its “Peek Performance” media event, Apple declared the M1 Ultra is the last member of the M1 family. Writing in his “Power On” newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggests two ways that might affect Apple’s plans for the professional-grade desktop computer.
Leaked details suggested that Apple was working on the next iteration of the computer with double the performance of the M1 Ultra. It would feature 40 CPU cores and 128 GPU cores.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has suggested that the M2 Ultra would offer 24 CPU cores and either 48 or 64 GPU cores. Doubling that into what he calls the M2 Extreme would lead to a desktop computer with 48 CPU cores and a choice of 96 or 128 GPU cores.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
