Apple's OLED 'MacBook Ultra' Will Stick With M5 Pro and M5 Max Chips
Key Points:
- Apple's upcoming high-end MacBook with an OLED touchscreen will use the current M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, launching between late 2023 and early 2024.
- The new device, available in 14- and 16-inch sizes code-named "K114" and "K116," will feature a redesigned chassis and an iPhone-style Dynamic Island.
- This MacBook is expected to be more expensive than the current M5 Pro MacBook Pro, which starts at $1,999 after recent price increases.
- Apple is skipping the M6 Pro and M6 Max chips in favor of more powerful M7 Pro and M7 Max chips, designed for AI workloads with enhanced neural accelerators and graphics.
- A new entry-level MacBook Pro with the M6 chip is still anticipated to launch later this year.
