Apple last week debuted its new M4 Pro and M4 Max chips in the MacBook Pro and Mac mini. Next year, the highest-end M4 Ultra chip should appear in 2025 inside an upgraded Mac Studio and all-new Mac Pro.
Joe Rossignol for MacRumors:
In his Power On newsletter [on Sunday], Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman said the M4 Ultra chip in the next Mac Pro will “probably” have up to a 32-core CPU and up to an 80-core GPU, which would be double the M4 Max’s up to 16-core CPU and up to 40-core GPU.
When will the M4 Ultra chip be available? In a report last month, Gurman said the next Mac Studio will likely “debut between March and June” next year, and higher-end configurations of that computer should be available with the M4 Ultra chip. He expects a new Mac Pro desktop tower with the M4 Ultra chip to follow in the second half of next year.
MacDailyNews Take: Apple’s M4 Ultra. For when you absolutely, positively have to sequence the human genome before the coffee maker beeps.
