According to the latest edition of the regular Power On newsletter, led by analyst Mark Gurman of the agency Bloombergis Apple is preparing for a huge leap in performance. In the upcoming high-end M7 chip Ultra plans to integrate support for an incredible 1,5 TB of RAM. Thanks to this, it would Apple Silicon called maximal possible configuration that the legendary and historically most powerful Mac Pro from 2019.

MaxThe minimum amount of RAM available on Macs with chips Apple Silicon has always been a certain limit. Apple In its own architecture, the memory is soldered directly onto the same silicon as the processor. This approach allows for extremely high transfer speeds, which allows the so-called unified memory to function flawlessly, but at the same time the total RAM capacity is physically limited by the size of the chipset itself.

According to Gurman, however, Apple koneThis "problem" is solved. The new M7 processor Ultra is designed from the ground up to handle this gigantic memory load. But whether Apple sononec configuration with 1,5 TB of RAM will actually be released to the market, which will depend mainly on the global situation in the industry. Due to a widespread shortage of memory chips, this hardware is currently becoming increasingly rare and much more expensive. Nevertheless, Apple developers are working hard to support this capacity.
Pro context, it is worth recalling that earlier this year Apple quietly discontinued sales of the 512GB and subsequently the 256GB configurations of the model Mac Studio with chip M3 Ultra, thus for this highest machine ponechal as the only option 96 GB RAM. With the M4 chip Max then it was possible to configure maxat least 128 GB. Even before the arrival of the M7 Ultra should also Apple to introduce a chip later this year M5 Ultra with support for up to 768GB of unified memory, setting a new historical milestone for Apple chips.

However, extreme performance requires an extreme price tag. If we base our pricing policy on the current Applu, where the company charges around $25 for each additional gigabyte of memory, a potential upgrade from the basic 128 GB to 1,5 TB of RAM would cost more than $35,000.
movie studios will buy them up like hotcakes. Anyway, he didn't claim apple i apple fans that 8 GB is enough for everyday things and 16 GB must be enough for everyone because Apple Silicon does it have better memory management? Then the 1,5 TB doesn't make much sense, maybe 128 GB would be enough and it would have to be maxan ideal machine for CGI rendering for Avatar 7 :)
