Solid silicon update. 

Anyone want to bet that we will see some refreshed Macs@WWDC with the M4? Since they are making a massive AI play it would make sense to get the M4 into both the IPadOS and macOS camps stat.

My old Mac with M1Max may need a refresh..

Before apple surprised everyone with an m4 iPad I was guessing there would be no new Mac hardware at WWDC. But now I’m not sure what to think. I could imagine everything from no updates to the entire lineup being updated all at once. 

The MBA models were updated to M3 like 2 months ago. That will be going until at least October, if not Q1 2025. So very unlikely for them. The M3 MBP models will likely not be updated until October as well. The M3 iMac may go all the way to Q2 2025.

The remaining are the Mac mini, Mac Studio and Mac Pro. It will be interesting if the monolithic M4 Ultra SoC is true. Mac Studios and Mac Pros with an M4 Ultra will be great machines, especially if they fixed GPU scaling.
