The next generation of Apple M series processors is expected to debut soon in upcoming Mac products. But prior to any official announcement, a new report hints at the key specs of the new top-end M3 Ultra chip, which appears to be quite powerful.
Apple M3 Ultra Mac Studio features a beefy processor
The Cupertino based giant will apparently be equipped with the M3 Ultra, as per the latest Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter. Apple’s previous M2 Ultra processor offered 24-core CPU and a 76-core GPU. However, the upcoming M3 Ultra is equipped with a whopping 32-core CPU that consists of 24 high-performance cores and 8 high-efficiency cores. On the other hand, the GPU core count has risen to 80 in the next-gen processor.
The Power On newsletter added that Apple could also be planning to launch new memory options for its MacBook Pro laptops. So now, MacBook models might launch with 36GB and 48GB of RAM. Furthermore, the brand is also testing higher memory configurations for other Mac series of PCs as well. The M2 Ultra-powered Mac Studio could be bought with up to 192GB of RAM, so there is a chance that the M3 Ultra may offer even higher memory capacity like 256GB of RAM.
Apple is currently testing the M3 Ultra for the next-generation Mac Studio and Mac Pro. Gurman believes that the first batch of M3-powered Macs will launch sometime in October 2023 with the new 13-inch MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models. The new iMac could also feature this processor, while the M3 Pro and M3 Max CPUs for Macs could drop sometime next year.
