Cupertino, CA – Apple’s highly anticipated update to its professional workstation, the Mac Pro, is reportedly in development and is expected to be powered by the company’s most advanced chip to date, the M4 Ultra.¹ This move would address a key criticism that the Mac Pro has not been sufficiently differentiated from its more compact counterpart, the Mac Studio.²

According to recent industry reports, the Mac Pro’s delayed release is directly linked to the ongoing development of the M4 Ultra chip. Initially, Apple was expected to launch both the Mac Pro and Mac Studio early in 2025. While the Mac Studio was released on schedule in March with M4 Max and M3 Ultra options, the Mac Pro’s absence led to speculation regarding the new M4 chip line.³

The M4 Ultra is anticipated to provide a significant performance boost, creating a clear distinction between the Mac Pro and the Mac Studio.⁴ The previous generation of Mac Pro received criticism for offering minimal performance advantages over the Mac Studio, leading many to question its value proposition.⁵

Sources indicate that once the M4 Ultra makes its debut in the Mac Pro, Apple is likely to introduce the powerful chip to the Mac Studio lineup as well.⁶ The M4 Ultra’s launch is being hailed as a major leap forward, cementing its status as Apple’s most potent chip to be released to date.⁷
