2022 Mac Pro Could Come With A Chip More Powerful Than The M1 Ultra
Apple's 2022 Mac Pro could ship with a monster processor that will combine two M1 Ultra die into a single SoC. This month, Apple updated a couple of its MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models at its 'Peek Performance' event and introduced the super-powerful Mac Studio powered by the M1 Ultra — an SoC created by combining two M1 Max die into one with the so-called 'UltraFusion' packaging architecture.
At the Worldwide Developers Conference 2020, Apple announced plans to transition away from Intel chips to its own in-house processors. The first batch of Macs powered by Apple silicon was released later in the same year and included the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini. While the M1 chip powered all those devices, Apple has since updated its 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with the more powerful M1 Pro and M1 Max SoCs.

An image posted on Twitter by tipster Majin Bu seems to show a bridge that helps to connect two M1 Ultra chips to form a single custom SoC. According to the tipster, the new ultra-powerful chip is codenamed 'Redfern' and will be found in the 2022 Mac Pro that will be announced this September, presumably at the same event where the iPhone 14 will be revealed. If the image is correct and Apple is, indeed, working on a new ultra-powerful SoC by combining two M1 Ultra chips, it might ship with up to 40 CPU cores and 128 GPU cores. By contrast, the current Mac Pro can be customized with up to a 28-core Intel Xeon W processor.
Based on what my resource reports, here is some official information on the new Mac Pro 2022 This is the bridge that connects 2 M1 Ultra together and will be found in the new 2022 Mac Pro. Processor name: «Redfern»
