Apple is engineering the M7 Ultra to support up to 1.5 terabytes of unified memory, positioning the chip for Apple's first dedicated server hardware, according to Mark Gurman. The release follows a compressed development cycle that entirely drops the M6 Pro, Max, and Ultra tiers, with the full M7 family expected in early 2027. Real-world availability may still be constrained by global memory shortages, and a top-tier configuration could easily exceed $35,000 based on current enterprise RAM pricing. Built around a Neural Engine born from Apple's shelved self-driving initiative, the silicon highlights Apple's strategy of relying on hardware to close its current AI software gap.
