Apple Seemingly Made a Mistake When Announcing the New Mac Studio
MacRumors • • general
Key Points:
- Apple initially claimed the new Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips featured "next-generation SSD architecture built on PCIe Gen 6" in its press release but later removed the PCIe 6.0 mention.
- The updated press release still highlights up to twice the storage speeds compared to the previous generation but does not specify PCIe 6.0 support.
- Evidence suggests the Mac Studio likely supports PCIe 5.0, consistent with the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models using the M5 Max chip, which also advertise PCIe 5.0 SSDs.
- No consumer PCs currently support PCIe 6.0 SSDs, making it improbable that the Mac Studio would have this feature at launch.
- Apple has not commented on the change, but the removal of PCIe 6.0 from the announcement appears to be a correction of an initial error.
