M2 Mac Pro expected to get delayed

Apple hasn't equipped its Mac Pro line with its latest M2 chip yet. But that might change soon, or soon-ish. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company is delaying the release of an M2-equipped Mac Pro because it is reportedly developing a new next-generation M2 Ultra chip specifically for the high-end desktop. This M2 Mac Pro will supposedly sport up to 24 CPU cores, 76 graphics cores, and 192GB of RAM. It is less powerful than previous rumours, but that might be a cost-cutting measure for what's already considered a premium (a.k.a. very expensive) desktop. 

Another reason for the delay is Apple looking to move its manufacturing from Texas to Vietnam. The existing Mac Pro models are finalized in Austin, even though its main internal components are made in China. If this move is true, the internal components will continue to be made in China, while its finishing will be done in Vietnam. That should save time in the long run, but it'll affect the release for now.
