Apple is expected to launch the new Mac Studio sometime in the first half of 2025. This timeline comes from Mark Gurman. The new Mac Studio is shaping up to be a major update, especially for those in the high-end desktop market, where this machine has become a fan favorite.
Core Configuration and Performance Enhancements
One of the most exciting upgrades will be the new M4 Max and M4 Ultra chips.
The M4 Max will feature a 16-core CPU and a 40-core GPU, while the M4 Ultra will take things even further with a 32-core CPU and an 80-core GPU. This jump in specs will make a noticeable difference in processing speed and graphics performance, making the Mac Studio even more powerful for demanding tasks.
Performance Expectations: The performance gains won’t just be theoretical. With the M4 Pro Mac mini already outpacing the M2 Ultra Mac Studio in some scenarios, the new Mac Studio is expected to leap ahead, restoring its place as the ultimate desktop for professionals in fields like video editing, 3D rendering, and software development
Connectivity and Port Updates: What’s New?
The new Mac Studio will likely come equipped with Thunderbolt 5 ports, offering transfer speeds up to 120Gb/s—three times faster than the previous Thunderbolt 4 standard. This upgrade will make external storage and expansion enclosures even more powerful, making it easier to work with large files and complex setups.
Though the first batch of M4-powered Macs won’t feature Wi-Fi 7, rumors suggest the 2025 Mac Studio could be the first to adopt this new technology. Wi-Fi 7 promises speeds up to 46Gbps, a significant leap over Wi-Fi 6E’s 9Gbps, and would offer better stability and less interference, enhancing the overall network experience.
Additional Potential Updates and Features
As AI becomes increasingly important, Apple may integrate hardware that supports AI-driven functionalities in the new Mac Studio. This could enhance creative workflows, enabling users in video editing, graphic design, and 3D modeling to leverage AI tools for faster and more efficient content creation.
Also according to Mark Gurman, Apple might introduce a smart home display product called “Command Center,” which would add another dimension to its existing ecosystem, blending entertainment, productivity, and smart home features into a single device.
What Does the Market Expect?
The launch of the 2025 Mac Studio is sure to generate a lot of buzz. Creative professionals and tech enthusiasts are eager to see how Apple pushes the envelope with this next-gen machine.
For many, the new Mac Studio will be the ultimate tool for everything from design to development, offering an unbeatable combination of performance, connectivity, and cutting-edge technology.
