Intel Ice Lake Xeon W-3300 Workstation CPUs Rumored To Power Next-Gen Apple Mac Pro 2022 - Wccftech
The leaker states that Apple's Mac Pro 2022 seems to be using Intel's Xeon W-3300 chips which if true would mean that Apple might delay the launch of its own Jade SOC based on its second-generation ARM silicon and also referred to as M2 SOC by some.
It is likely that Apple could launch Mac Pro 2022 solutions based around both Intel Xeon W-3300 and its own Jade chips but that remains to be seen.The Intel Xeon W-3300 Ice Lake configurations for the Apple Mac Pro 2022 would offer up to 38 cores and 76 threads.The Ice Lake Xeon W-3300 Workstation family will offer support on the LGA 4189 socket platform with up to 270W TDP CPU support, 64 Gen 4 PCIe Lanes, and 8-channel DDR4-3200 memory with up to 4 TB capacities.
It's definitely interesting that Intel is still relying on Intel's Xeon workstation lineup instead of AMD offerings such as Threadripper Pro
