Hi everybody,
merry christmas for all of you !
Wanted to ask, are there any indications for a release of the new Mac Pro in 2023 ?
Date and what M-Chip it will get ?
Thank you !
Best regards,
Schnitzel
 
There have been some rumors on the front page. Latest I've read is that they've cancelled the highest end M1/M2 chip (the Extreme) and it will be shipping with an M1 or M2 Ultra. Apparently it will have expandability, but nobody knows what form that will come in. Memory and storage options will be vastly lower than the current Intel based Mac Pro. So it's looking more like a replacement for the 6,1 Mac Pro rather than a replacement for the 7,1. The true successor for the 7,1 will probably arrive one or two generations after this next one. That will be more or less in-line with end of support for the 7,1.

You can start with this article from last week…
 
I hope they have a cheaper entry model for people who basically want the power of the Mac Studio, but with the option to upgrade the ram and storage ourselves. I hate how the studio is locked down.

Depends what you class as 'cheap'. The Studio with M1 Ultra, which arguably should be the minimum SoC for Apple's highest-end Mac, costs $4,000 with an enclosure that allows for internal expansion. It honestly wouldn't make sense for them to use the Max as a base config, given the only difference in CPU cores across the vanilla, Pro and Max is two performance ones.

You can bet the new Mac Pro will cost $5,000 minimum for the base spec.
