Well, I don’t know if Gurman really has a clue or is just making wind, but he says the M2 Extreme has been scrapped. Supposedly it would have led to a $10k Mac Pro and that’s just too niche for Apple to bother.
So that would leave us with a Mac Pro with M2 Ultra. Unless that system allows for some RAM/PCIe expansion that Apple Silicon has so far not supported, what would it offer over an Ultra Mac Studio? Disk bays lol. I guess it really comes down to what the M2 Ultra offers over what we’ve seen with its M1 predecessor.
If this is indeed true, I’d say it doesn’t bode too well for a new Mac Pro.
