Apple Targets 2026 Mac Studio Refresh with 768GB RAM and M5 Ultra

Bloomberg reports Apple plans a 2026 Mac Studio refresh with an M5 Ultra offering around 36 CPU cores and 80 GPU cores and support for up to 768GB of unified memory, though supply constraints could limit that option; the update—delayed by memory shortages and price hikes—could arrive around October 2026, and even the 768GB variant would likely be extremely expensive, potentially well over $10,000, following price increases that pushed the current 96GB M3 Ultra Mac Studio to $5,299 after a $1,300 rise.

Leaks suggest Apple will unveil the M5 Ultra Mac Studio and M5 Pro Mac Mini at WWDC 2026, featuring MLX AI accelerators, PCIe 5.0 storage, and up to 512GB unified memory. The Ultra model reportedly ships with an 80-core GPU, while the M5 Pro Mini offers up to an 18-core CPU and up to 20 GPU cores (about 23% faster). The lineup also includes faster RAM and PCIe 5.0 SSDs (14,000–16,000 MB/s), base storage bumps (512GB on the Mac Mini) and modest price increases as Apple phases out older models, with a potential June launch.

Apple's 2026 Mac Studio Set for M5 Max/Ultra Power Boost

Apple is gearing up a 2026 Mac Studio refresh that preserves the compact design but brings M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips, with faster SSD options (up to 2x) and RAM ceilings of 128GB for the M5 Max and up to 256GB for the M5 Ultra. Ongoing RAM shortages have caused stockouts and may influence configurations, while pricing could stay around $1,999 and a 1TB base SSD is possible. A WWDC 2026 reveal (June 8) is the strongest signal for timing, though a fall launch remains possible if supply issues persist.
