Two new Macs might skip M5 chips and go straight to M6 Yesterday Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman detailed a years-long roadmap for upcoming Macs, and per his report, it sounds like two new models might skip the base M5 chip and go straight to M6. The same time frame allegedly also applies to some new iMacs.
The MacBook Ultra with OLED touchscreen, expected to be offered in 14" and 16" sizes, is said to be "on track for release between the end of this year and early next year". This will be powered by the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. The Ultra is reportedly being tested with macOS 27.1, which is expected to become available at the end of October, so the hardware is definitely not. Next Mac Mini Will Reportedly Have Mismatched M6 and M5 Pro Chips Apple is testing new Mac mini configurations with mismatched M6 and M5 Pro chips, according to Bloomberg ‘s Mark Gurman , but he did not provide a release timeframe.
In a similar move last year, Apple updated the Mac Studio with mismatched M4 Max and M3 Ultra chips. This article, " Next Mac Mini Will Reportedly Have Mismatched M6 and M5 Pro Chips " first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums.
