A refresh of the Mac Studio with an M2 Extremely won’t occur quickly or in any respect, as a result of the Mac Professional.
Apple’s creation of the M2 Professional and M2 Max in January, in addition to a spec-bump improve to the Mac mini, won’t essentially be adopted through an identical updates to the Mac Studio. With Apple keen to deliver out an Apple Silicon Mac Pro, it’s reckoned the Mac Studio’s refresh with an M2 Extremely chip is also not on time, and even stopped from being launched.
The New Mac Pro with Apple Silicon is predicted to release within the spring, entire with the M2 Extremely chip. Then again, the possibility of 2 Macs the use of M2 Extremely is also an issue for Apple, as one may cannibalize the gross sales of the opposite.
In keeping with Mark Gurman in his “Energy On” e-newsletter for Bloomberg, the Mac Professional is identical in capability to the Mac Studio, and subsequently it “would not make sense” for Apple to supply each an M2 Extremely Mac Studio and an M2 Extremely Mac Professional on the similar time.
“It is much more likely that Apple both by no means updates the Mac Studio or holds off till the M3 or M4 era,” Gurman writes. Via then, Apple may have a possibility to “higher differentiate” the Mac Studio from the Mac Professional.
The Mac Professional was once previously expected to have an “M2 Excessive” chip, which successfully mixed two M2 Extremely chips into one piece of silicon, however it was once culled in December over meant manufacturing issues.
