Apple’s Next-Gen M4 Ultra Chip With Mind-Blowing Performance Gains Coming To Mac Studio And Mac Pro in Late 2025

Apple is ready to introduce the M4 variants of the MacBook Pro and the Mac mini on November 1, as detailed by a prominent analyst, but it brings us to question when the company would introduce the highest-end variants of the chip. We expect the company to introduce the new M4 Pro and M4 Max chips in the new products, but it remains to be seen when the company announces the M4 Ultra chip for the Mac Studio and the Mac Pro.

The M4 chip is based on TSMC's 3nm process, and the higher-end variants will take true advantage of the N3E process, which will deliver better computational and graphical performance while being more power efficient. If the company decides to launch the machines later in 2025, we can expect the M4 Ultra chip to
