The next Mac Pro M2 is going to be a bomb

The next version of the Mac Pro with M2 chip will shatter all previous internal records, which should be offered in variants with 24 or 48 core processors combined with a 76 and 152 core graphics card respectively. According to initial estimates based on preliminary rumors, Apple's next desktop computer could double or even quadruple the performance of the MacBook Pro that will have the M2 Max chip on board, which will be the most powerful expression of proprietary Silicon technology. The naming of the new chips on the future Mac Pro should follow the recent nomenclature of the Californian brand so as to become probably M2 Ultra and M2 Extreme.

The advances come from Mark Gurman with his Bloomberg Power On newsletter. The analyst says that the configurations of the next Mac Pro should start from 24 cores for the processor, 76 cores for the graphics card and 192 GB of internal memory, while the most pumped version will be 48 cores and 152 cores with 256 internal memory. GB. The result should translate into benchmarks that are two to four times higher than the still unofficial M2 Max chip, which is now certain on board the upcoming MacBook Pro with 16-inch displays. To better understand how important the evolutionary leap would be, just think that the current M2 chips mounted for example on MacBooks reach a maximum of 8 cores for the processor and 10 cores for the graphics card.

But as has always happened and will happen, the news will be brought to the markets gradually and after the necessary tests. And so from the current M2 it will rise to M2 Pro and Max for the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro expected shortly, while the next-generation Mac Mini will have the M2 already seen on the 2022 MacBook Air with the jump to M2 Pro scheduled later. Apple's small computer will also change its design, offering a slimmer profile and perhaps even with colored shells of the shades already seen for the latest generation iMacs.
