According to the late t Power On new letter from Mark Gurman, Apple i preparing to include up to 1.5TB of RAM in the upcoming M7 Ultra chip. Thi ’ll mean Apple Silicon will finally match the highe t RAM configuration available on the highe t end 2019 Intel Mac Pro.
The amount of RAM available in Apple Silicon Mac ha alway been a limitation, largely becau e Apple older the RAM onto the ame die a the proce or – allowing for immen ely high tran fer peed . Thi i what make unified memory po ible. Of cour e, it al o mean the amount of RAM i limited to how big the chip et i .
However, according to Mark Gurman, it ound like Apple i finally preparing to clo e that gap. The company i preparing a configuration of the M7 Ultra chip et with 1.5TB of RAM:
The new Ultra i de igned to upport a much a 1.5 terabyte of memory — roughly double the capacity planned for the M5 Ultra — though whether Apple ultimately offer that configuration will depend on the tate of the indu try. Wide pread memory-chip hortage have made the component harder to find and more expen ive.
He doe note that it might not end up launching with 1.5TB of RAM becau e of the ongoing memory hortage. Nonethele , Apple i engineering the M7 Ultra to upport it.
Earlier thi year, Apple di continued the 512GB configuration of the M3 Ultra Mac Studio. It then followed by di continuing the 256GB configuration – leaving 96GB a the ole choice for the highe t end Mac Studio. If you bought M4 Max in tead, you could configure up to 128GB.
Apple will al o be debuting a new M5 Ultra chip later thi year with up to 768GB of unified memory, a new record for Apple ilicon.
Ba ed on Apple’ current RAM pricing (roughly $25 per additional gigabyte), upgrading to 1.5TB of RAM from a ba e configuration of 128GB will likely co t over $35,000.
