According to Mark Gurman in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Apple is preparing an M5 Ultra-powered Mac Studio as early as this year, while an even more powerful M7 Ultra version is already on the company&#8217;s roadmap for 2028. Interestingly, the report also claims Apple is redesigning one component most users will never see: the heat sink.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading-mb col-body heading-text-style font-bold charcoal-color\">More power is coming, and Apple wants to keep it cool<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">Gurman reports that the upcoming M5 Ultra Mac Studio won&#8217;t receive a major external redesign. Instead, Apple is reportedly focusing on internal improvements, including a redesigned heat sink, to better manage the additional power of its next-generation Ultra chip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">Apple&#8217;s Mac Studio plans include an M5 Ultra model as early as this year and an M7 Ultra model in 2028. Apple is also working on a redesigned heat sink to better support the additional power. https:\/\/t.co\/q7fQ9IjMK9<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">\u2014 Mark Gurman (@markgurman) June 28, 2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">That makes plenty of sense. As Apple&#8217;s silicon continues to evolve, professional workloads such as 8K video editing, 3D rendering, software development, and on-device AI models are becoming increasingly demanding. Better thermal management could allow the Mac Studio to sustain peak performance for longer without throttling under heavy loads.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">The roadmap doesn&#8217;t stop there. Gurman also says Apple is already planning an M7 Ultra Mac Studio for 2028, suggesting the company is thinking multiple generations ahead for its flagship desktop workstation.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading-mb col-body heading-text-style font-bold charcoal-color\">If it isn&#8217;t broken, don&#8217;t redesign it<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">If you were hoping for a radical redesign, though, you may have to wait. According to Gurman, Apple appears happy sticking with the current Mac Studio chassis, choosing to refine what&#8217;s inside rather than reinvent the hardware itself.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Apple Mac Studio in use in a studio\" width=\"976\" height=\"586\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"fig-image-round\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/lo\/mysterio\/api\/1fa150d768b986379180facf659e62b6a8234a01d73e5442e0bf3c0fd2d1c55c\/lightyear_networkapi\/resizefill_w976;quality_80;format_webp\/https:%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fen%2Fdigital_trends_973%2Fb7a84ca3203b7daae12bcaaf200be72e\"\/><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">Honestly, that&#8217;s probably the right call.
