Although Apple has significantly increased the prices of most of its Mac offerings in recent days, and its plans for this year's hardware innovations appear to be unchanged. According to the latest information from Mark Gurman of BloombergThe company is still counting on the launch of a new generation of Macs Studio, which will arrive later this year and will offer M5 chips for the first time ever Max and above all M5 UltraThe latter is supposed to push the performance of desktop Macs a lot further.

While the basic configuration with the M5 chip Max will be intended primarily for professional photographers, video editors or developers, the real star of the entire offer is to be the version with the chip M5 UltraAccording to leaked information, it is supposed to offer up to 36 powerful processor cores and graphics with up to 80 cores. Although at first glance the number of cores may not seem like much compared to the current M3 Ultra to change dramatically, Apple It is expected to improve performance mainly thanks to a new architecture, faster memory and other optimizations.
Up to 768 GB of unified memory
Even more interesting is the information about RAM. Apple reportedly internally testing configurations with up to 768GB of unified memory, which would be the highest memory a Mac has ever had Apple Silicon offered. Such capacity would open the door to completely new possibilities, especially when working with large AI models, complex 3D scenes, film post-production or scientific simulations.
But there is one catch. Due to ongoing problems with the availability of memory chips, it is not at all certain whether Apple will actually list this configuration right at the start of sales. It is possible that the highest varianta will arrive later, or it may not be available in all markets. The lack of memory chips is the reason why Apple has increased the prices of many of its products in recent days.
As for the performance date, Bloomberg expects that the new Mac Studio It will arrive later this year, likely in the fall, alongside other Macs with M5 chips. Alongside the Mac Studio the arrival of the first ones is also expected MacBookPro with M6 chips, while a truly major redesign of laptops with OLED displays is not expected until next year.

So if you're a professional waiting for another significant performance leap in desktop Macs, this fall could be very interesting. New Mac Studio with chip M5 Ultra Apparently, it will not only attract higher performanceonem, but also the ability to work with huge volumes of data directly on the local device without having to rely on cloudsolutions.
