Apple plans M4 Ultra release for Mac Studio in early 2025, excludes Mac Pro

Apple plans to release the M4 Ultra chipset in the first half of 2025, specifically for the Mac Studio. This marks a new development as the Mac Pro will not feature the M4 Ultra, differing from earlier expectations. The updated Mac Studio will offer configurations with the M4 Max and M4 Ultra, boasting high CPU and GPU core counts. The M4 Ultra is expected to be significantly faster than the M4 Max, with 32 cores and an 80-core GPU. Details about the new chipset for the Mac Pro remain unclear. This decision may create a distinction between the Mac Studio and Mac Pro, as the previous models had overlapping capabilities at different price points.
