The iPad Lineup Is Perplexing – Here’s How Apple Could Fix It

> Onto the Mac Pro. That new high-end machine will include chip options that are at least twice or four times as powerful as the M2 Max. Let’s call those chips the M2 Ultra and the M2 Extreme. My belief is that the Mac Pro will be offered with options for 24 and 48 CPU cores and 76 and 152 graphics cores—along with up to 256 gigabytes of memory.

based on what Apple is currently testing in-house:

> In fact, I can share one configuration of the Mac Pro in active testing within Apple: 24 CPU cores (16 performance and 8 efficiency cores), 76 graphics cores and 192 gigabytes of memory. That particular machine is running macOS Ventura 13.3. Ventura 13.0, the first version of the new macOS, is launching Monday.

Falls in line with the recent rumour of a 25% scaled up macOS variant too. Basically like a device running macOS with a touchscreen & detachable keyboard. Battery life should be off the rails since both halves would have battery packs.
