The CPU/NPU/GPU part is probably coming, but the 1.5TB of RAM might be delayed a bit. More interesting footnotes are the server chips: is the MacPro making a comeback?

sure, i'll believe it when i see it. all i see from the article is a marketing campaign for folks to buy their stock. we don't even have the m5 we wanted, and we are talking about m7 and m8s?

"Blackwell-class AI" sounds like one of those cool sounding nonsense terms out of a military sci-fi book.

It's pretty interesting that Apple was so quick to get to industry-leading status on their CPUs, but their GPUs are still in a state where they won't match Nvidia's GPUs from 2024 until at least next year, and will need a significantly bigger chip to do so. Similar story with Qualcomm but to a lesser degree (both on the CPU and GPU side). I wonder why that is. Lack of priority? Legitimately harder problem to solve? Experience from mobile scaling to desktop differently than CPU experience?
