For a while now, many of us have been wondering what’s next for the Mac Pro, Apple‘s most powerful desktop computer. The rest of the Mac lineup has seen updates with the M3 and even M4 chips. Meanwhile, the Pro model has remained on the M2 Ultra—a great chip, but a generation behind. Well, thanks to a new leak, we now have a major clue that an M4 Ultra chip-based upgrade could be on the way for Apple’s Mac Pro.

As spotted by Macworld, internal Apple code has revealed that the company is actively testing a new Mac Pro with a powerful M4 Ultra chip. This is a big and exciting finding, especially since many people believed that Apple might skip the M4 Ultra altogether. The leak mentions an internal codename, “Hidra.”

M4 Ultra Mac Pro is still in the works, leak suggests

Official details on Apple’s M4 Ultra chipset are still under wraps. We can expect a massive leap in performance. The current M2 Ultra features a 24-core CPU and up to a 76-core GPU. Meanwhile, the M4 Ultra could take things to the next level with a 32-core CPU and a staggering 80-core GPU. This new chip will reportedly be built on Apple’s latest 3nm architecture. It could also include major improvements to the Neural Engine, which will be a huge boost for AI and machine learning tasks.

This is exactly the kind of upgrade the Mac Pro has been waiting for. It’s a hopeful sign that Apple hasn’t forgotten its pro users yet. While the code doesn’t give us a release date, the evidence is strong that the wait for a truly next-generation Mac Pro may soon be over. Let’s hope these findings come to fruition and we actually receive a Mac Pro with the power of the M4 Ultra chip.

In related news, Apple may also be working on a 5G-enabled MacBook and an affordable model powered by an iPhone chip.
