A new report says Apple is preparing its next-generation M7 Ultra chip to support up to 1.5TB of unified memory. The claim comes from Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter, as cited by multiple outlets. The reported capability would bring Apple Silicon’s maximum memory configuration in line with the 2019 Intel Mac Pro, which offered up to 1.5TB of RAM.

The reports also indicate that availability of such a top-tier configuration may depend on supply conditions. Specifically, MacRumors notes that an ongoing memory chip shortage could affect whether Apple ships the highest memory option at launch or in later configurations.

Apple has not confirmed the M7 Ultra’s detailed memory specifications in any official announcement in the coverage provided. The information is presented as a forward-looking estimate tied to Gurman’s reporting, and timing is described as occurring in the later part of the decade.
