@markgurman Apple pushing toward higher memory configurations shows they’re thinking about AI workloads. 1.5TB is a serious amount. It suggests future Macs might be designed more for heavy local processing rather than just relying on cloud models.
@markgurman An extreme high end configuration is a good way to keep those creating the best on-device AI interested in your platform.
@Tippinbets @markgurman $12K is generous. I think the 1.5TB would be like mid $20K’s at minimum.
@markgurman Imagine the cost of 1.5 terabytes of memory 💀
@markgurman The era of 5 digit $$$$$ begins.

The M7 Ultra is designed to support as much as 1.5 terabytes of memory — double the capacity planned for the M5 Ultra — though whether Apple ultimately offers that configuration will depend on the state of the industry. https://twitter.com/markgurman/status/2076305950634279381
This would match the 2019 Mac Pro, of course, if it’s able to actually happen in the current memory environment. https://twitter.com/markgurman/status/2076306380583997665
