Tuesday, during its first keynote of the year, Apple lifted the veil on a new computer: the Mac Studio. This is an entirely new category of machine that slots between the Mac mini and the Mac Pro, and provides users with all the power they need for very resource-intensive tasks.
Furthermore, Apple also unveiled a new chip: the M1 Ultra chip which, thanks to the fusion of two M1 Max chips, provides a performance monster.
Also, we wonder if the company will release a new Mac Pro this year. Indeed, it should be noted that before this event on March 8, numerous rumors had circulated indicating that Apple could postpone the release of the new Mac Pro and the iMac Pro to 2023, while these machines should be released this year so that the firm can finalize its transition from Intel chips to Apple Silicon chips.
Apple teased the next Mac Pro at the end of its keynote
But during the keynote, Apple seems to have brushed aside the rumors on this subject. Indeed, at the end of the event, after the presentation of theMac Studioand screenStudio Display, John Ternus, Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering, briefly teased the next Mac Pro.
“They (editor's note, the new Mac Studio) join the rest of our Mac range, making our transition almost complete, with just one more product, Mac Pro. But that's for another day.", he declared.
It is rare for Apple to make this kind of statement during a keynote. And apparently, the company absolutely wants to put an end to rumors indicating that the next Mac Pro would not be released until next year.
At the same time, Ternus' statement also suggests that the next Mac Pro will indeed have an Apple Silicon chip. Indeed, it is important to note that there are also rumors which have indicated that the next Mac Pro could still use an Intel chip (in order to ensure compatibility of applications used by the target customers of this product). It's possible that the next Mac Pro will use the same M1 Ultra chip as the Mac Studio.
