![]() ![]() The current Intel Mac Pro offers up to 1.5TB of DDR4 ECC memory in 12 user-accessible DIMM slots, but the unified memory in the M1 Macs is quite different. Nor do we know how long Apple will continue to sell non-Apple silicon Macs. The Intel-based Mac Pro models will continue to use AMD graphics, but no reports have surfaced that cover what possible upgrades are in store if any. The graphics could have 64 or 128 processing cores-that’s a huge increase from the eight graphics cores in Apple’s M1 SoC used in the Mac mini, 24-inch iMac, MacBook Air, and 13-inch MacBook Pro. The Apple silicon Mac Pro will use the graphics on the SoC instead of graphics cards by AMD, according to Gurman. Yuuki_ans has tweeted accurate leaks in the past but does not provide information on how this Mac Pro fits in with Apple’s silicon strategy.Īfter Brendan Shanks on Twitter spotted references to Intel’s Ice Lake processors in the Xcode 13 beta, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman confirmed that “Apple has indeed been working on an update to the Intel Mac Pro.” We assume that would be a model with the existing design but a faster processor and possibly update graphics. With the Mac Pro, that could mean an updated model with new processors.Īccording to yuuki_ans on Twitter, Apple could release a Mac Pro that uses Intel Ice Lake Xeon W-3300 workstation processors in 2022. While Apple has promised to transition to its own silicon within two years, Tim Cook has also promised to continue supporting Macs with Intel chips as well. No details on what Intel processors Apple will be upgrading to have been released. If you consider that the rumored 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro could have a 10-core SoC with eight performance cores and two efficiency cores, could it be possible that Apple is taking the MacBook Pro SoC and installing two or four of them in the Mac Pro? We’ll have to wait and see.įor the short term, Apple is going to have both Intel processors and Apple silicon available in the Mac Pro. 2022 Mac Pro: Apple siliconĪccording to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the Apple silicon Mac Pro could be available with 20 or 40 computing cores, with 16 performance cores and four efficiency cores in the former (Apple’s codename for this SoC is Jade 2C-Die), and 32 performance cores and eight efficiency cores in the latter (codename Jade 4C-Die). This model will be available along with new Apple SoC Mac Pro. Gurman also reports that Apple won’t discontinue the current Mac Pro design and that the company will update it with Intel processors. The revamped Mac Pro might remind people of the Power Mac G4 Cube. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the Mac Pro that uses Apple’s own SoC will be “half the size” of the current Mac Pro, have an aluminum case, and could remind people of the Power Mac G4 Cube. The current Mac Pro design was introduced in 2019 but we could see some changes when Apple unveils the Mac Pro with Apple silicon. July 23, 2021: 9to5Mac reports that Apple is working on a new Pro Display with an A13 Bionic processor. ![]() July 26, 2021: According to yuuki_ans on Twitter, Apple could release a Mac Pro that uses Intel Ice Lake Xeon W-3300 workstation processors in 2022. Gurman also that “at least one new Mac” could be unveiled at the rumored March 8 event for the new iPhone SE but we don’t think it’s the Mac Pro, which is more suited for a WWDC reveal.Īugust 1, 2021: In his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says a “revamped, smaller Mac Pro with Apple Silicon” is due to arrive “ later next year.” It’s possible that that event could include the Mac Pro. It’s possible Apple could reveal the Mac Pro at WWDC in June and then say it won’t ship until the beginning of the year, though that’s a longer gap between reveal and shipping than Apple usually has.įebruary 6, 2022: In his PowerOn newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman stated that “several new Macs” will be revealed at WWDC22 in June, though he doesn’t state specifically what Mac models will be released. March 11, 2022: An unverified Twitter account for analyst Ming-Chi Kuo states that a Mac Pro will ship in 2023. ![]() ![]() This article keeps track of the reported updates for the Mac Pro, so return to this page to keep up to date with what could be coming. But the Mac Pro will undergo a major update when Apple releases its own System on a Chip (SoC) for the workstation. Apple’s Mac Pro was introduced in 2019, and updates usually come out in increments-new graphics options here, SSD module upgrades, there, etcetera. ![]()
