Apple is working on an AI server that would use Apple’s high-performance M-series Ultra chips found in Mac desktops. The potential product’s expected release in 2029 would mark the first Apple server to hit the market in nearly two decades—and could capitalize on the surging popularity of Apple hardware among AI developers.
The enterprise server would come in two configurations that include either two or four of Apple’s future M8 Ultra chips, according to The Information. The project reportedly received support from new Apple CEO John Ternus when it began a year ago, back when Ternus led Apple’s hardware engineering efforts.
This revelation coincides with booming sales for Apple’s Mac mini and Mac Studio as AI developers and companies snap up the Mac computers to run AI workloads. The popularity of such computing devices that rely on Apple’s M-series Ultra chips has undoubtedly encouraged Apple’s pursuit of an enterprise server using the same chips.

Previstos para serem lançados na semana que vem (pelo menos nos Estados Unidos e em Portugal), os novos Mac mini e Mac Studio são alimentados com os chips M6 e M5 Ultra, respectivamente — lembrando que o mini pode ser configurado também com o M5 Pro, enquanto que o Studio de entrada vem com o chip M5 Max.
Pois os primeiros resultados de benchmarks dos dois novos processadores apresentados recentemente pela Apple surgiramhoje no banco de dados do Geekbench 7, oferecendo uma visão dos ganhos de desempenho de cada um deles.
Em ambos os casos, os resultados vistos até agora tratam apenas dos testes de CPU 1Central processing unit, ou unidade central de processamento. — os de GPU 2Graphics processing unit, ou unidade de processamento gráfico. ainda não foram divulgados.
Confira abaixo a pontuação do chip M6 e as pontuações médias do chip M5 para efeito de comparação:
Benchmark de CPU
M6
M5
Single-core
4.071 pontos
3.641 pontos
Multi-core
22.783 pontos
17.948 pontos
Se o resultado acima for preciso, o chip M6 apresenta um desempenho single-core cerca de 12% mais rápido e uma performance multi-core cerca de 27% mais rápida em comparação com o chip M5. Vale notar que o chip M6 está no novo Mac mini, enquanto as pontuações do chip M5 baseiam-se no MacBook Pro de 14 polegadas — mas o desempenho deve ser semelhante.
Na tabela abaixo está a pontuação do chip M5 Ultra de ponta, com CPU de 36 núcleos, bem como as pontuações médias do chip M3 Ultra de ponta, com CPU de 32 núcleos (já que a Apple nunca lançou um chip “M4 Ultra”).
Benchmark de CPU
M5 Ultra
M3 Ultra
Single-core
3.774 pontos
2.920 pontos
Multi-core
52.516 pontos
39.059 pontos
Se os resultados acima procederem, o chip M5 Ultra oferece um desempenho de CPU single-core cerca de 30% mais rápido e um desempenho multi-core cerca de 35% mais rápido em comparação com o M3 Ultra.
Nada mau, hein!
Mac Studio
Chip: M4 Max ou M3 Ultra Memória: 36GB, 48GB, 64GB, 96GB, 128GB, 256GB ou 512GB Armazenamento: 512GB, 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, 8TB ou 16TB
