Apple Readies M7 Chip With 240GB/s Memory Bandwidth in H1 2027 for On-Device AI

Summary
240GB/s unified memory bandwidth is expected for Apple’s M7 chip in H1 2027, a jump from the M5’s 153GB/s that would materially lift on-device AI inference.
That gain appears tied to memory throughput rather than confirmed core counts; the report says the M7 may use TSMC’s 2nm process, which could also raise clock speeds and CPU performance.
307GB/s on the older M5 Pro still exceeds the rumored M7 figure, suggesting Apple’s base-tier silicon would improve sharply for AI workloads without matching its higher-end Pro chips.
Six months or less could separate M6 and M7 launches if the timeline holds, with Bloomberg saying Apple may skip M6 Pro and M6 Max in favor of M7 Pro and M7 Max models.
