According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is still testing an all-new Mac Pro with an M2 Ultra CPU, but the company has likely abandoned plans to produce a higher-end configuration with a “M2 Extreme” chip. Gurman stated in his most recent email that the Mac Pro with the M2 Ultra processor will be available with up to a 24-core CPU, up to a 76-core GPU, and at least 192GB of RAM.

### **He anticipates that, like the present Mac Pro, the new model will be extensible, allowing for the addition of additional memory, storage, and other components.**

The higher-end variant with the M2 Extreme chip would have been offered with up to a 48-core CPU and up to a 152-core GPU, according to Gurman, but he believes that this configuration was rejected owing to cost and manufacturing problems.

“Based on Apple’s current pricing structure, an M2 Extreme version of a Mac Pro would probably cost at least $10,000 — without any other upgrades — making it an extraordinarily niche product that likely isn’t worth the development costs, engineering resources and production bandwidth it would require,” he wrote.

The most recent Intel-based Mac Pro was released in December 2019 and has a starting price of $5,999 in the United States. If no further delays occur, the new model will presumably ship in 2023, but Gurman did not provide an updated schedule.
