Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Apple is expected to refresh the Mac Studio this October with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips, bringing significant performance improvements, up to 36 CPU cores, 80 GPU cores, and potentially 768GB of unified memory, though memory availability may be limited by supply constraints. The update also marks the arrival of the first M5 Ultra, as Apple never released an M4 Ultra chip, but higher prices are likely following recent Mac price increases. Looking further ahead, a 2028 Mac Studio with M7 Max and M7 Ultra chips is expected to deliver major AI performance gains, a redesigned cooling system, and support for up to 1.5TB of unified memory, making it Apple's most powerful Mac yet.
