That's according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who says Apple has ramped up testing of the high-end Mac in preparation for its expected launch next year.
In his Power On newsletter, Gurman says the machine will feature new and more powerful in-house chips, nicknamed the M2 Ultra" and M2 Extreme." The two variations pack 24 and 48 CPU cores, respectively, along with 76 and 152 GPU cores, and 256GB of memory. That's compared to the base M2, which comes with 8 CPU cores and 10 GPU cores, and the rumored M2 Max, which will supposedly feature 12 CPU cores and 38 GPU cores.
