The topic M7 Ultra to potentially feature up to 1.5TB of RAM, finally matching 2019 Mac Pro\u2026<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

The amount of RAM available in Apple Silicon Macs has always been a limitation, largely because Apple solders the RAM onto the same die as the processor \u2013 allowing for immensely high transfer speeds. This is what makes unified memory possible. Of course, it also means the amount of RAM is limited to how big the chipset is.<\/p>\n

However, according to the data Mark Gurman, it sounds like Apple is finally preparing to close that gap. The company is preparing a configuration of the M7 Ultra chipset with 1.5TB of RAM:<\/p>\n

The new Ultra is designed to support as much as 1.5 terabytes of memory \u2014 roughly double the capacity planned for the M5 Ultra \u2014 though whether Apple ultimately offers that configuration will depend on the state of the industry. Widespread memory-chip shortages have made the component harder to find and more expensive.<\/p>\n

He does note that it might not end up launching with 1.5TB of RAM because of the ongoing memory shortage. Nonetheless, Apple is engineering the M7 Ultra to support it.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Apple discontinued the 512GB configuration of the M3 Ultra Mac Studio. It then followed by discontinuing the 256GB configuration \u2013 leaving 96GB as the sole choice for the highest end Mac Studio. If you bought M4 Max instead, you could configure up to 128GB.<\/p>\n

Apple will also be debuting a new M5 Ultra chip later this year with up to 768GB of unified memory, a new record for Apple silicon.<\/p>\n

Based on Apple\u2019s current RAM pricing (roughly $25 per additional gigabyte), upgrading to 1.5TB of RAM from a base configuration of 128GB will likely cost over $35,000.<\/p>\n
