Apple’s upcoming M4 Ultra chip will be an absolute beast

Apple’s M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips

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.
