Apple’s 2022 Mac Pro will use Intel Xeon W-3300 series processors

by ·

Apple’s implementation of self-developed chips to replace Intel’s x86 processors is a sure thing. For Mac products used by ordinary consumers, Apple is doing the replacement work in an orderly manner.

In the eyes of many people, it is inevitable to advance to a higher-end product line, especially when the existing iMac Pro product line is suspended and the 20 cores (including 16 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores) and 40 cores (including 32 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores) chips were developed for Mac Pro. Even after news of 64-core or 128-core Apple’s self-developed GPU, it is generally believed that Apple’s plan is proceeding smoothly, and it can even be completed earlier than its expected time.

Recently, according to Twitter user @yuuki_ans, the 2022 Mac Pro seems to use Intel Xeon W-3300 series (IceLake-SP) processors. Intel’s LGA 4189 socket product can provide up to 38 cores and 76 threads. It is manufactured with a 10nm process and has a core frequency of 4 GHz. It has 57MB of L3 cache, supports up to 4TB of eight-channel DDR4-3200 memory, with a TDP of 270W, which has greatly improved the specifications compared to the previous Xeon W series processors used in the Mac Pro.

At present, the Xeon W-3300 series processors have begun to appear on the dealer’s page, which means that Intel may soon launch this processor.

This may indicate that it is not easy for Apple to replace Intel products with self-developed chips on high-end processors.. Apple is doing well in the mainstream market for ordinary consumers, but if you want to achieve the same effect in the field of workstations and servers, there may be a gap for the time being, so in the future, high-end high-performance products like Mac Pro will continue to use Intel x86 processors.
