The last time we heard about the Mac Pro it was back in 2013 when it was first launched to the masses. However after that we did not hear about any upgrades or hardware refreshes to the computer, but given that the Mac Pro is quite the workhorse, we suppose its hardware is more than capable of lasting more than a year.
However is a 2 year gap kind of pushing it? Perhaps, which is why E. Werner Reschke at TGaap has speculated that later this month, Apple could host another event and this time instead of focusing on mobile, the event could talk about new hardware in terms of their Mac lineup, with speculation that a Mac Pro with updated specs could be announced.
With Intel announcing new Skylake processors last month, it is possible that the refreshed Mac Pro could feature the new processors. We would expect newer GPUs as well, maybe more default RAM. However other than we’re not sure what else could Apple change to the Mac Pro but hopefully we will learn more soon this month.
Take note that this is just speculation for now and there is no indication that Apple will be hosting another event this month. However a recent rumor has suggested that we could also be looking at a new 4K iMac next week, so perhaps we might see an updated Mac Pro then as well, but do take it all with a grain of salt.
