Apple is preparing to release 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, Mac minis, and even an all-new Mac Pro, according to Mark Garman, who is familiar with Apple-related leaks. Of these, the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros will be equipped with the new M2 Pro and M2 Max, Garman points out. According to Garman, M2 Max will be an SoC with 8 performance cores, 12 core CPUs consisting of 4 efficiency cores, 38 core graphics cores, and 64 GB of memory (RAM). The M2 Pro and M2 Max can be installed in both 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros.

The current 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros are models with the M1 Pro or M1 Max.

In addition, Apple is also working on releasing a new Mac mini with the M2. The M2, which will be installed in the Mac mini, seems to be equipped with the normal version of the M2 announced in June 2022, unlike the M2 Pro and M2 Max.

The current model Mac mini was announced in 2020 with the M1 chip.

According to Garman, the Mac Pro is being tested internally by Apple. The SoC installed in the Mac Pro has 24 or 48 CPU cores, 76 or 152 GPU cores, and a maximum memory (RAM) of 256 GB. It is unknown whether this SoC will be the M2 series, but an example of the configuration is ``24 core CPU (16 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores), 76 core GPU, 192 GB memory''. In addition, it seems that macOS Ventura 13.3 is running on the prototype under test.

The current Mac Pro is the following model announced in 2019. The Apple Silicon-equipped model under test has more CPU and GPU cores, but the memory capacity of the current model is overwhelming.
