According to the latest update from MS, Apple is said to be in the testing phase of an M3 Ultra chip. This new chip is anticipated to exhibit a significant CPU upgrade, moving from 24 cores in the M2 Ultra to 32 cores in the subsequent generation of the chip. Additionally, developer logs suggest that the base configuration of the M3 Ultra chip might include 64 GPU cores, with a higher-end variant boasting 80 GPU cores.
These developments pertain to Apple's upcoming high-performance desktop chip. Currently, you can already acquire an M2 Ultra Mac featuring GPUs with 60 or 76 cores. Consequently, the forthcoming chip's advancements, particularly in graphics processing, are expected to be more moderate in contrast to the substantial leap made last year. The previous progression saw the top-tier configuration of the M2 Ultra with a 64-core GPU, marking a 12-core increase from the maxed-out 64-core GPU of the M1 Ultra Mac Studio. However, this doesn't imply that computers equipped with the new chip will be sluggish by any means. The M2 Ultra Mac Studio already delivers impressive performance, and even laptops equipped with the M2 Max, such as the MacBook Pro, exhibit remarkable capabilities. This prowess is so pronounced that the high-priced 2023 Mac Pro is encountering challenges in finding its niche in the market. Once more, as mentioned in the latest Mangaspurs report, it is indicated that Apple is set to launch M3 Macs in October, which will encompass a fresh addition to the iMac lineup. However, the report also reinforces the notion that computers featuring the M3 Pro or M3 Max won't make their debut until the following year. In line with historical release patterns of Apple, MangaSpurs forecasts that an M3 Ultra chip might potentially arrive no earlier than late 2024.
