The Apple M3 Ultra will be able to pack more cores into its CPU and GPU than ever before.

He Chip M3 Ultra coming to the next Mac will have significant improvements in terms of CPU and GPU. At least that’s what Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, in their latest weekly newsletter. The journalist said that the future SoC will have a GPU. up to 80 coresas well as CPU up to 32 cores.

This is an important change if we take into account the specifications of the M3 Ultra Chip currently available in Mac Pro and Mac Studio. This one, in particular, has a 24-core processor, while the M3 Ultra chip, we repeat, will have 32 cores. As for the GPU, Apple’s next processor will have a standard 64-core version, while the base configuration of the M2 Ultra chip reaches 60 cores. The maximum, as we have already noted, will be 80 cores. In the case of the M2 Ultra, the most powerful GPU configuration is 76 cores.

This data shows that the M3 Ultra chip will significantly improve efficiency over its predecessor, and in terms of graphics performance, we will notice a slight improvement. Actually, It’s not as big a jump as on the M2 Ultra chip., which added 12 more cores compared to the M1 Ultra GPU; available in 64 cores in case of maximum configuration version.

When will we see new Macs with the M3 Ultra?

gourmet announced, although not exactly, when new Macs with the M3 Ultra chip will appear. While you think we’ll see a wave of new Macs in October, including the Macbook Air and the new MacBook Pro, they’re expected to be announced with M3 chips that will be manufactured on a 3nm process and thus also improve in efficiency.

Therefore, the journalist suggests that the company could announce the M3 Ultra chip, “most likely” by the end of 2024. So we’ll probably have to wait a year to see a new Mac Studio or Mac Pro with this SoC. This makes sense when you consider that both devices have recently been updated with M2 Max and M2 Ultra chips.
