Apple may have to kill the legendary Mac Pro

According to 4gnews , in a report concerning the Apple M3 processor generation and its upcoming variants, Gurman stated that the M3 Ultra will be present inside the Mac Studio and Mac Pro if "Apple continues to manufacture them." This information has raised alarm bells in the market and specifically addresses the future of the Mac Pro.

The power gap between Mac Studio and Mac Pro is narrowing.

The truth is, the switch to Apple Silicon has cast doubt on the role of the Mac Pro in the company's product line. With the Mac Studio sharing the same processor, the lines between the two are quite blurred, except for the price.

The modular design was always a highlight of previous generations of Mac Pro, but it disappeared with the introduction of the M2 Ultra. Equipping a single chip with several integrated components severely limited long-term options for buyers of this computer. As a result, it's no surprise that the Mac Pro faded away once the Mac Studio eroded Mac Pro sales.

Now, looking at the new M3 processor generation, there's a lot of noteworthy data. Starting with the base chip, expected to have 8 CPU cores and 10 GPU cores, it will be released in the 13-inch MacBook Pro, 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air, Mac mini, and iMac. For the M3 Pro, the chip will have 12 or 14 CPU cores combined with 18 or 20 GPU cores. This can be found in the Mac mini, 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro.

Another variant of the M3 is the M3 Max, with 16 CPU cores and 32 or 40 GPU cores, expected to come to the base Mac Studio, 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro. Finally, the M3 Ultra, with 32 CPU cores and 64 or 80 GPU cores, will be aimed at the Mac Studio and Mac Pro if Apple continues to retain this product.
