Apple delays Mac Pro update amid NVIDIA motherboard speculation

In recent developments surrounding Apple's Mac Pro, the company has not released any updates to the device when it launched the Mac Studio featuring the M3 Ultra. This absence of an update has raised questions regarding future plans for the Mac Pro and whether it might utilize NVIDIA's DGX Station motherboard or a derivative. This speculation emerged following a presentation at the GPU Technology Conference, where Apple's logo was displayed at the event, hinting at potential collaborations or integrations with NVIDIA's hardware.  The DGX Station motherboard is notable for its advanced architecture that includes 72 Arm Neoverse v2 CPU cores, substantial memory capacity, and high-performance GPU capabilities. This hardware is designed to facilitate complex computations, especially useful in artificial intelligence applications. Integrating this technology within a potential Mac Pro Ultra could enable Apple to provide a more robust solution for professionals needing high computation power and effective user interface experiences.  However, the possibility of incorporating NVIDIA's technology into the Mac Pro is both intriguing and considered “highly improbable” by some analysts. Apple faces challenges in maintaining regular updates for the Mac Pro, which has led to speculation about why they might consider leveraging another company’s motherboard technology, especially in the context of NVIDIA's strengths in software development for AI.  Ultimately, if Apple introduces a new Mac Pro using NVIDIA's technology, it could result in a computational powerhouse that simplifies the workflow for users by enabling real-time simulations and number crunching on a single system, rather than requiring separate devices to manage these tasks.
