Here’s everything we know about the Apple Mac Pro 2022
The new Mac Pro 2022 hasn’t gotten nearly as much buzz as the new MacBook Air 2022 and rumored Apple M2 chip, but as far as Apple rumors and speculation go, we can at least say that a powerful new Apple workstation is on the way, possibly as soon as June 6, 2022, at WWDC 2022. This comes, miraculously, from the notoriously tight-lipped Apple itself, with Apple’s senior vice president for hardware engineering, John Ternus, teasing the new workstation towards the very end of the Apple Peek Performance event back in March. Speaking of the Mac Studio and Studio Display, Ternus says (opens in new tab): „And they join the rest of our incredible Mac lineup with Apple silicon, making our transition nearly complete, with just one more product to go: Mac Pro, but that is for another day.“
That other day may finally be here, so let’s dive into everything we know about the new Mac Pro 2022. We cannot say when the Apple Mac Pro 2022 will be released, but we fully expect that there will be an announcement of the new workstation-class desktop at WWDC 2022 and a preorder period to start soon thereafter. When the Mac Pro 2022 will actually ship is another matter, though Majin Bu, a noted Apple researcher, says that certain supply chain sources indicate a September 2022 ship date (opens in new tab). This would be in line with what we saw with the 2019 Mac Pro, which was announced at WWDC 2019 in June, but didn’t actually ship until December 2019. We do know that it is coming, though. Apple’s Ternus confirmed as much during the Apple Peek Performance event, though he did not give a time frame for a release beyond „another day.“ Will that day be Monday, June 6, 2022? We certainly hope so. We don’t know where Apple will price the new Mac Pro 2022, but we definitely expect it to start somewhere in the $6,000/£6,000/AU$9,000 range and scale up from there as you increase the amount of RAM, storage, with an option (most likely) to increase the GPU core count.
