On July 12, local time, a technology reporter published an article stating that Apple is adjusting the Mac chip roadmap to meet AI development needs. After launching the M6 basic chip this fall, Apple will skip high-end versions such as the M6 Pro, M6 Max, and M6 Ultra for the first time and directly promote M7 series research and development. The M7 is expected to be released in the first half of 2027, and the M7 Ultra will be launched in 2028. It is reported that the M7 Ultra will greatly improve AI performance, aim to be close to dedicated AI accelerators such as Nvidia Blackwell, and is expected to become the foundation for Apple's next generation AI server chip. In addition, Apple has begun developing M8 and subsequent chips with stronger AI capabilities, and the 2028 product will use a 1.4 nm process.
