Apple's Mac Pro leaked
Big bang! Apple’s Mac Pro leaked—coming with a powerful M4 Ultra chip, codenamed “Hidra.” Apple launched the Mac Studio in March with M3 Ultra and M4 Max chips. Since then, fans have been asking—when will the Mac Pro get an even more powerful upgrade? Now the latest leak has revealed this mystery. McWorld’s report shows that Apple is working on a new Mac Pro M4 Ultra—and its secret codename is “Hidra.”
leak reveals the secret: M4 in Ultra Mac Pro
Apple’s internal code, received by Macworld, has revealed that the company is testing a new high-end Mac Pro.
Its internal ID is T8152
And the codename is Hidra
It is the same name that was also mentioned in the January 2025 Bloomberg report, where it was said that the Mac Pro is going to get a more powerful M4 version.
How powerful will the mam m4 ultra be?
Official configurations have not yet been revealed, but given the pattern of leaks and Apple, here is what is to be expected:
Current M2 Ultra: 24-core CPU, 76-core GPU, 192 GB integrated memory
Possible M4 Ultra:
32-core CPU
80-core gpu
Start with 96GB RAM
Apple’s latest 3 nm architecture
And a more powerful AI/ML nerve engine
This means that it may be the best Mac Pro in terms of performance.
Earlier, it seemed that Apple had left the Mac Pro.
When Apple updated Mac Studio with M4 Max and M3 Ultra but left Mac Pro in M2 Ultra, it seemed that Mac Pro could now have history.
But the new code makes it clear that Apple is still preparing to supercharge the Mac Pro.
When will the new Mac Pro M4 Ultra be launched?
This is the biggest question.
Apple has tested such chips several times, which never reached the public.
But the name of the M4 Ultra and the codename “Hidra” explain that this machine can be real.
Since the M5 chips are expected to be launched by the end of 2025, the MAC Pro can be launched before the Apple M5.
Mac Pro M4 Ultra is for whom?
AI and Machine Learning Research
4K/8K Video Editing and Post-Production
3D and high-end visual effects
Music production professional
This machine can easily handle heavy projects in DAWs such as Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and Pro Tools. But the truth is that for most people, a MacBook Pro or Mac Studio is sufficient.
The Mac Pro M4 Ultra will occur when users want the final performance—the price is sky-high.
Mac Pro is back - but when?
The current Mac Pro was updated in 2023.
Now there has been no major update for almost two years.
If the M4 Ultra arrives, it will again make the Mac Pro a top-class powerhouse.
But rumors also say that Apple may jump directly to M5 and leave the Mac Pro M4.
Conclusion:
M4 Ultra arrives or not, one thing is clear – the time has come for Mac Pro update. And if the “Hidra” comes true, the Mac Pro M4 can prove to be Apple’s most powerful machine yet.
