The Mac Pro needs to be powered by a chip that is potentially even more performant than the M1 Ultra in the Mac Studio. With this model, Apple has got to make a high-end chip that demanding pros are happy with - something it’s gaining experience doing after launching M1 Max and M1 Ultra chips. We’re expecting the Apple silicon Mac Pro to come later this year. Given Apple prominently teased at WWDC that the Mac Pro would soon transition to Apple silicon, the Intel model seems very much in doubt.

However, it seems these rumors might have confused the Mac Studio for a small-scale Mac Pro, meaning only one model is now expected.

Previous rumors had suggested two models - one bearing an Intel chip, another with an Apple silicon chip - could be on the way. Now it’s back to the drawing board to determine when Apple’s newest professional computer will release and what it might contain. We were expecting an announcement on the Mac Pro at Apple’s WWDC event, but no such announcement came. In other words, that means it’s almost certain we will see an Apple silicon Mac Pro by the end of 2022 at the latest. Even if we permit Apple some leeway and give it until November (two years since the first M1 MacBook launched) instead of June, the hard deadline still sits at the end of 2022. In June 2020, Apple said at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) event that its complete transition to Apple silicon would take about two years. And there’s a simple reason for this conviction. It’s often hard to scry anything from Apple’s inscrutable crystal ball, but we feel reasonably confident predicting this: The next Mac Pro is coming in 2022.

To find out what’s on the horizon for Apple’s flagship desktop dominator, read on. If you’re wondering what it might look like and how powerful it could be, you’re in the right place, as we’ve gathered all the Mac Pro news we can find into one place. Luckily, rumors and leaks indicate a new Mac Pro could still be just a few months away. New monitors, including a fresh Pro Display XDR.
