- kridsdale1 2y agoSo about a year and a half delay for Ultra, but the M2 was an anomaly.
- ellisv 2y agoI'd also point out that there was a rather awkward situation with M1/M2 chips where lower end devices were getting newer chips before the higher end devices. For example, the 14 and 16-inch MacBooks Pro didn't get a M2 series chip until about 6 months after the 13 and 15-inch MacBooks Air. This left some professionals and power users frustrated. The M3 Ultra might perform as well as the M4 Max - I haven't seen benchmarks yet - but the newer series is in the higher end devices which is what most people expect.
