Apple\u2019s most powerful Mac chip could be about to close one of the last remaining gaps between Apple Silicon and Intel-era workstations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman, Apple is designing its future M7 Ultra chip to support as much as\u00a01.5TB of unified memory. If that figure makes it to the final product, it would match the maximum memory configuration offered by the 2019 Intel-based Mac Pro.<\/p>\n

The reported upgrade is still some way off, with the M7 Ultra not expected until 2028. However, it suggests Apple is planning a significant leap for professionals working with demanding AI workloads, advanced video production and other memory-intensive tasks.<\/p>\n

The catch is that Apple may not ultimately ship a 1.5TB configuration. Gurman says ongoing memory chip shortages could make such a model too expensive or difficult to produce in meaningful quantities, even if the chip itself is capable of supporting it.<\/p>\n

That would still represent a major step forward from today\u2019s Apple Silicon Macs. The current top-end Mac Studio offers up to 96GB of unified memory following Apple\u2019s recent configuration changes. The M4 Max can be configured with up to 128GB. Meanwhile, the upcoming M5 Ultra is expected to push that ceiling to\u00a0768GB. This would double Apple\u2019s current record before the M7 Ultra potentially doubles it again.<\/p>\n

The report also highlights one of the defining characteristics of Apple Silicon. Apple builds unified memory directly into the chip package instead of installing it as separate RAM modules, unlike traditional PCs. That approach delivers much higher bandwidth and lower latency. However, Apple\u2019s chip design also limits memory capacity and prevents users from upgrading it after purchase.<\/p>\n

If Apple does eventually offer a fully loaded 1.5TB configuration, it almost certainly won\u2019t come cheap. Based on Apple\u2019s current upgrade pricing, moving from a base memory…<\/p>\n
