Apple plans to debut several new Macs over the next few months, including new MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and Mac Pro models. BloombergMark Gurman.

14 vs 16 inch mbp m2 pro and max feature
In his latest “Power On” newsletter, Gurman said Apple is continuing to work on Apple’s first silicon ‌Mac Pro‌, with the company ramping up internal testing of the device. The high-end Mac desktop is said to feature chip variants that are at least two to four times more powerful than the M2 Max, called “‌M2‌ Ultra” and “‌M2‌ Extreme.” Gourmet expects the Mac Pro to be offered with 24 and 48 CPU cores and 76 and 152 graphics cores, along with up to 256GB of storage.

Gurman added specific information about one particular Mac Pro configuration that is apparently undergoing active testing at Apple: a model with 24 CPU cores (including 16 performance and eight efficiency cores), 76 graphics cores and 192GB of memory. The machine is said to be running macOS Ventura 13.3.

As expected, Gurman said the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models will be available in ‌M2‌ Pro and ‌M2‌ Max configurations. The M2 Max will reportedly have 12 CPU cores (with eight performance cores and four efficiency cores) and 38 GPU cores, and will go with 64GB of storage. The M2‌ Max is expected to be available again in both screen sizes.

The next-generation Mac mini will likely have the same M2 chip as the MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro. Apple has tested the M2 Pro chip in the new Mac mini, which contains an increased number of cores, but Gurman offered no further clarity on whether the company is continuing with that model.

While he doesn’t expect a new ‌Mac Pro‌ to arrive until 2023, Gurman said he expects the next-generation MacBook Pro and ‌Mac mini‌ models to arrive “in the coming months.”
