Apple's high-performance Mac users were left wondering in 2025. After the M4 chip generation arrived, the top-tier 'Ultra' variant was conspicuously missing. This led to speculation: had Apple abandoned its most powerful chip configuration? Was the M3 Ultra the end of the line?
According to a new report from Bloomberg, the answer is a definitive 'no.' The Ultra is not dead; it was just skipping a generation. Apple is reportedly planning a major return for its powerhouse silicon, targeting a 2026 debut for the M5 Ultra chip.
