What’s Next for the Mac Pro Apple will refresh the Mac Pro in late 2025, according to a report from Bloomberg ’s Mark Gurman. The Mac Pro will be equipped with the highest-end version of the M4 chip, which is codenamed "Hidra." Based on the description of the chip, it could be positioned as an "Ultra" or "Extreme" chip. Apple has been designing a new, more powerful chip for the Mac Pro due to criticism that the M2 Ultra chip was not powerful enough for the high-end machine. The M4 will be built on the same 3nm process as the M3 chips, but Apple supplier TSMC will likely use an improved process that boosts performance and power efficiency. The Mac Pro could support up to 512GB Unified Memory, a notable increase over the current 192GB limit.
