According to Commercial Times, beyond updates to Apple Intelligence, Siri, and macOS 27, market attention is focused on whether a next-generation Mac Studio powered by Apple’s M5 Ultra chip will make an appearance when Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference today.
However, the Sellers Research Group (that’s me) doesn’t think this will happen.
The M5 Ultra is expected to retain Apple’s UltraFusion dual-die architecture, combining two M5 Max dies and delivering interconnect bandwidth of more than 1,000GB/s. Specifications are rumored to include a 36-core CPU, an 84-core GPU, and up to 512GB of unified memory, the report adds.
Despite these potential advantages, the launch timing of the next-generation Mac Studio remains uncertain. According to Macworld, citing Bloomberg, supply-chain constraints are affecting production of Apple’s next-generation professional Macs and could delay the debut of the M5 Ultra-powered system until October 2026.
