They will be 10nm CPUs across a range of performance and power requirements, so we can probably expect to see them in MacBooks of all stripes, the Mac mini, and iMacs. Sunny Cove will first appear in a family of processors known as Ice Lake. However, in December 2018 Intel announced new 10-nanometer "Sunny Cove" Xeon chips.
#NEW IMAC RELEASE DATE 2019 PRO#
In August 2017 some benchmarks surfaced, which implied the new Mac Pro 2019 could use the new Intel 7900x processors but this seems to have been squashed by wccftech in favour of the Intel i9 ‘SkyLake’ X Series 18 Core 36 Thread Processors, which our own Alan Sallabank suggested would make an excellent choice for a new ‘modular’ Mac Pro 7,1. The iMac Pro is shipping with Xeon W chips, which use an LGA2066 socket and Skylake-SP architecture, coming in 8, 10, and 18 core configurations with Turbo Boost up to 4.5GHz, 48 PCI Express 3.0 lanes, and support for up to 512GB of DDR4–2666 ECC memory. When it comes to processors, we can start by taking a look at what the iMac Pro has in the way of processors. After all we know that Apple wants the Mac Pro to be defined by workflows. Why would they be testing this kind of modularity if it wasn’t going to form part of the Mac Pro 7,1 design ethos. Based on what TechCrunch saw when then visited Apple Towers when Apple announced that the new Mac Pro would be delayed until 2019, there were setups where the Mac Pro was working with multiple attached iPad Pros, a MacBook Pro, and an external GPU. However, Apple could be talking about a different type of modularity, one in which the Mac Pro is designed to work with many different accessories and peripherals in flexible, demanding work environments. Otherwise, they speculate, why even bother making it? Others are speculating that the Mac Pro 7,1 will be different to the rest of the Mac range and will have slots for things like new graphics cards and slots for upgradeable internal storage, with the Mac Pro 2019 being heavily engineered and priced accordingly. As to form factor, some people are speculating that it will be not much more than a headless iMac Pro with Xeon processors and graphics chips with plenty of onboard flash storage and RAM and thAT upgradeability will mean things like being able to add an external GPU via Thunderbolt 3. They went on to say that the new Mac Pro would be designed to handle VR and high-end cinema production. We want to architect it so that we can keep it fresh with regular improvements, and we're committed to making it our highest-end, high-throughput desktop system, designed for our demanding pro customers." "We have a team working hard on it right now. What we do know for sure is what Apple's Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller said… In a note he stated that an "easy-to-upgrade" Mac Pro will launch in 2019.

In February 2019, well respected Apple analyst Ming Chi Kuo informed investors that he is expecting Apple to launch the new Mac Pro in 2019. Moving onto ‘upgradeable’, what is not clear is whether this means user upgradeable or only upgradeable by Apple or by their authorised service providers. As far as modular is concerned Mike believes that we can safely say that it will NOT have PCI-e slots. We can only speculate as to what is meant by ‘modular’ and upgradeable. “In addition to the new iMac Pro, Apple is working on a completely redesigned, next-generation Mac Pro architected for pro customers who need the highest performance, high-throughput system in a modular, upgradeable design” in the press release announcing the iMac Pro they said… We know that Apple is focused on issuing a Mac Pro with a modular and upgradeable design. It’s called the Pro Workflow Team, under John Ternus and works closely with Apple's engineering team. What do we know about the new Mac Pro 2019? Apple has created a team inside the building that houses its pro products group. We know that there’s a lot of customers today that are making purchase decisions on the iMac Pro and whether or not they should wait for the Mac Pro.” “We want to be transparent and communicate openly with our pro community, so we want them to know that the Mac Pro is a 2019 product. There was some speculation initially that the new Mac Pro would appear in 2018, however in April 2018 Apple’s Tom Boger, senior director of Mac Hardware Product Marketing explained.

The result of that poll was that you voted to Wait For Next 2018 Mac Pro 7,1 as the most popular solution.Ģ019 is to be the year of the long awaited new ‘modular design’ Mac Pro.
