Apple would begin final testing on the new Mac Pro con chip M2 (in version Ultra o Extremeit seems), the desktop that should become “at least four times more powerful than M2 ″ basAnd. And that’s not the only Mac news coming in the coming months, according to Mark Gurman.
Apple, final tests for Mac Pro with M2 Extreme chip
According to reports from the expert analyst Mark Gurman in its Bloomberg newsletter, Apple is reportedly continuing to work on the first Mac Pro with Apple Silicon chips. According to Gurman, Cupertino engineers would have started the final testing phase before launch on the market.
It looks like the new desktop should have two chip pick options: M2 Ultra, a new version of what we’ve seen on the Mac Studio, and the more powerful M2 Extreme. The choice is between 24 or 48 CPU cores, 76 or 152 GPU graphics corescon up to 256GB of memory shared. A true monster of power, which would work on macOS Ventura 13.3.
In addition to the new desktop, Apple would be working on the new ones MacBook Pro 14 and 16 inches, with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. In particular, the latter chip should have 12 CPU cores (of which eight for performance and four for efficiency), 38 GPU cores and up to 64GB of memory. But this time the M2 Max chip should arrive for both sizes of MacBook Pro.
Along with upcoming laptops, Apple is also expected to launch a new version of the Mac mini. In particular, the version with chip M2, the same chip seen in the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 13, would be in final testing. There seems to be a version with M2 Probut it is not clear if it will come out together with that ‘base’.
Gurman doesn’t expect to see the new Mac Pro before 2023. But for laptops and Mac mini he says the launch could come “in the next months“. We will keep you posted.
