9to5Mac has learned from sources that in addition to the rumored new Mac mini and Mac Pro, Apple is developing a brand new Macintosh, the “Mac Studio,” described as a hybrid Mac mini and Mac Pro.
Based on information seen by 9to5Mac, the new Mac Studio is primarily based on the Mac mini, but with much more powerful hardware. Apple has two versions of Mac Studio under development. One features the M1 Max chip (the same as the 2021 MacBook Pro) and the other a variant of the Apple Silicon chip that is even more powerful than the current M1 Max.
According to our sources, the new Mac Studio is known internally by the codename “J375”.
Although the name “Mac Studio” may change, it represents a new category between Mac mini and Mac Pro aimed at professional users.
MacDailyNews Take: Last June, Bloomberg News’ Mark Gurman/a> provided details of the following four upcoming Apple M-series chips:
• Jade C-Die: 8 high-performance cores / 2 energy-efficient cores, 32 GPU cores.
• Jade 2C-Die: 16 high-performance cores / 4 energy-efficient cores, 64 GPU cores.
• Jade 4C-Die: 32 high-performance cores / 8 energy-efficient cores, 128 GPU cores.
• Staten: 4 high-performance cores / 4 energy-efficient cores, 10 GPU cores.

I heard it was codename cU83
A Mac with one or two PCIE x16 and some NVME slots would be nice.
Something small, but capable without needing to use thunderbolt for everything
A Mac mini with expandable internal high-speed storage. Perfect.
I don’t like the idea of calling something Max when a faster chip is coming out months later. They should call the new one the M1 Steve.
