Mac Pro 2022 WWDC June 2022

[GuitarGuy77]

Hi all just wanted to see if anyone has heard more rumors about the new 2022 Mac Pro 8,1 to be announced next month at WWDC?

Some rumors indicate the 2022 Mac Pro 8,1 will have same 7,1 case but will have a 2x Ultra chip connected together. Similar to how an ultra is 2x Max chips stuck together.

Excited to see if the new Mac Pro will offer PCIe 5.0 expansion, and or memory expansion.

Saw this new PCIe-5.0 memory from Samsung coming out next month and curious if the new Mac Pro will allow for PCIe memory expansion like this?

Thanks @craighazan maybe thats for the Mac Studio that was already released?


For the full size Mac Pro Tower like the Mac Pro 2019 7,1 will see according to this article the "The Mac Pro is expected to continue to use the same stainless steel frame and aluminum housing with dual-sided logic board and easy access to the interior for adding and removing components."

This would be logical to keep the current case and change the internal CPU...etc

Also saw this the other day


Rumor 2x m1 Ultras combined:
