The M2 Ultra, which will power the new computer, is up to three times faster than the speediest Intel-based Mac Pro. At Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference on Monday, Jennifer Munn, director of engineering program management, called the M2 Ultra "a monster of a chip." Apple launched its initial computer chip, the M1, in 2020. Apple silicon is "a different kind of competition," former Intel executive Gregory Bryant said at a 2021 Evercore conference. The Mac Pro containing the new chip will come with 192 GB of memory, Apple said.
