Overview

• The M4 Ultra chip is unlikely to be produced as Apple confirmed the M4 Max lacks the UltraFusion connector needed to combine two chips into an Ultra configuration.
• Apple stated that not every generation of its Mac chips will feature an Ultra variant, further suggesting the M4 Ultra's absence.
• Developing the M4 Ultra as a monolithic die would pose significant technical and financial challenges, making it commercially unviable.
• The relatively low sales volume of high-end desktop Macs, such as the Mac Studio and Mac Pro, diminishes the incentive to produce the M4 Ultra.
• Analysts speculate Apple may focus on introducing an M5 Ultra in the future, potentially resolving current production limitations.
