The entire Mac lineup is expected to be replaced by Apple Silicon chips in the year 2022. The Mac Pro is one of the major Mac lines that still uses Intel chips.
The guide covers everything we know about the updated Mac Pro.
There are rumors that Apple is working on two updates for the Mac Pro. The first machine is a direct successor to the Mac Pro, with a modern lattice design and modular casing, while the second is a smaller machine.
The larger Mac Pro is expected to use the same frame and housing with dual-sided logic board and easy access to the interior for adding and removing components. There is no word on whether the thermal architecture will change, and it will still feature the same three-dimensional interlocking hemispheres.
It was described as looking similar to the existing Mac Pro, but with a smaller enclosure. It will have a mostly aluminum exterior, and Mark Gurman said that it could evoke nostalgia for the Power Mac G4 cube.
Jon Prosser, a hit-and-miss leaker, has claimed that Apple's smaller Mac Pro could look like three to four Mac minis stacked on top of one another.
The larger Mac Pro will continue to use Intel chips while the smaller model will use Apple chips.
The earliest versions of the Apple chips may not be able to compete with the Xeons for heavy duty work, and there may be concerns about software compatibility. For that reason, we could see an Intel and an Apple release side by side to meet all of the needs of professional users.
The half-sized Mac Pro is expected to come with either two or four M1 Max chips, which will make it much more powerful than the 2021 MacBook Pro models. The first Apple chip is expected to have 20 core and 64 core graphics, while the second chip could have 40 core and 128 core graphics.
The Information said in November that Apple would use a version of the M1 Max chip that has at least two dies to support a higher number of cores than the standard M1 Max chip.
Apple could use the Intel LakeSP chips, which are the third generation of the Xeon Scalable processors. The signs of these chips were seen in an Xcode 13beta prior to the launch of macOS Monterey.
At some point in the future, the Mac Pro could be introduced at the Worldwide Developers Conference. Apple could preview the machine at the event and then release it later this fall, giving developers some time to prepare pro software for the more powerful Apple chips.
