Apple Speeds M7 AI Chips for H1 2027 as M7 Ultra Targets 1.5TB RAM

Summary
Apple is fast-tracking the M7 and M7 Ultra, with the M7 now slated for the first half of 2027 and built around major Neural Engine upgrades.
That push reflects a broader AI-hardware strategy: Apple is skipping Pro, Max and Ultra versions of the upcoming M6 to concentrate resources on the M7 family.
The M7 Ultra is also expected to underpin a new Apple server product, with support for as much as 1.5TB of RAM—double the 768GB ceiling of the M5 Ultra.
Apple’s chip roadmap traces back to its abandoned self-driving car effort, whose need for powerful on-device processing helped create the Neural Engine that now anchors Apple’s AI and privacy pitch.
