Apple has no plans to upgrade its Mac Studio and Mac Pro computers to M4 chips at least until the middle of next year. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman wrote about this in his new Power On digest. So, both computers this year will be offered with the M2 generation of processors, while most other systems will offer newer and more powerful components (except the MacBook Air).
Over the course of 2024, all Apple laptops (except the MacBook Air) are expected to switch to the M4 chip, which the company recently introduced along with the new iPad Pro tablet. Thus, due to a strange update cycle, the iPad Pro is now the leader in single-core performance among devices in the Apple line. This state of affairs will continue for about a year if we compare it with Mac Studio and Mac Pro.
And the gap in this indicator between the productive Mac Studio and Mac Pro systems will be quite significant. According to results on Geekbench, the new iPad Pro with the M4 chip outperforms the M2 Ultra by about 25%. In fact, even the A17 Pro chip in the iPhone 15 Pro is about on par with the M2 Ultra's single-core performance. Although in multi-core performance, the M2 Ultra delivers significantly better results thanks to more compute units. However, this does not apply to the Mac Studio version with M1 Max, which shows slightly lower multi-core scores than the new iPad Pro.
