Hopes of a future Extreme version of Apple's Mac chips might have received a shot in the arm following a report that suggests that the chip architecture Apple uses for its latest M3 Max could pave the way for bigger things to come. It's said that the M3 Max that is currently used in Apple's best Macs does not have the UltraFusion interconnect that would normally be used to turn two chips into a single M3 Ultra, a first for the M-series lineup.
If this turns out to be accurate it would mean that Apple's plans for a future M3 Ultra are very different to the chips that have carried the Ultra moniker in the past. Normally these chips are essentially two Max chips connected together to create a larger, more capable chip. However, the lack of an UltraFusion interconnect on the M3 Max shows that isn't the case this time out. And that could have implications for a possible M3 Extreme further down the line
