While the M1 Ultra is the ‘last M1 chip’ Apple will make, the 2022 Mac Pro is rumoured to potentially feature two M1 Ultra chips connected together to deliver some crazy performance.Īpple had been working on a new Mac Pro that features double the performance of the M1 Ultra, leading to 40 CPU cores and 128 graphics cores. It likely won’t be as powerful as the Pro or Max but it might however benefit from some of the other advances made by the M1 Pro and Max chips such as the Media Engine. Īccording to this article from Apple Insider we can expect to see the (probably named) M2 chip later this year, to replace the two year old M1 chip. This is because it is meant to be a direct replacement for the ageing M1, and will eventually have M2 Pro and M2 Max variants. Given their performance in comparison to the Intel versions and Apple’s cluttered range of 21 different machines right now, presumably these older machines will be striped away until on Apple Silicon remains.Įven though will release after the M1 Pro and M1 Max, it won’t be as powerful. We’ll get into the benefits of each later on, but as a post-production users you likely want to avoid any machines with the M1 chip and stick to anything sporting an M1 Pro or above. You can read a detailed spec comparison here. The Present – M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max M1 UltraĪs of today there are four different M1 chips to choose from M1 (Nov 2020), M1 Pro, M1 Max (late 2021) and the M1 Ultra (March 2022).Īs you can see from the image above the M1 Ultra is two M1 Max chips stuck together with a ‘fusion’ technology connection. It’s almost embarrassing how much Intel Corp. That allows the company to serve as many customer types and needs as possible. In the past two years many, if not most, post production software has been updated to work natively with the M1 Apple Silicon chips, seeing huge performance boosts as a result.Īpple Silicon has been a game changer, letting the tech giant build new types of Macs and release more variations at different price points.
This is obviously a very Apple thing to do, and also frees them up from being chained to Intel’s traditional release pattern of new chips. This transition will also establish a common architecture across all Apple products, making it far easier for developers to write and optimise their apps for the entire ecosystem. That’s everything from the Apple Watch up to its most powerful desktop machines. Building on its decade of development of “System On a Chip” (SoC) for the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch it started to work towards everything they make running on their own chips. In June 2020 Apple announced that it would begin an “about 2 year transition” of all of its products to Apple Silicon. The Past – Apple’s Transition away from Intel Chips
