Apple M1 Ultra

In this case, Apple M1 Ultra is the most powerful chip that the company has ever designed, and it’s Apple’s latest piece of bespoke silicon.

The M1 Ultra is an extremely powerful SoC (system-on-chip) that was introduced by Apple during the March 2022 event. Basically, it is a pair of M1 Max processors paired together using a previously-unknown feature of the Max: the die-to-die interconnection technology that allows two Max processors to work together for a new level of performance. The fact that the first Apple M1 Ultra benchmarks show off excellence in performance suggests that this might indeed be true.

It appears that Apple silicon is able to reach unprecedented levels of performance with the help of a technology called UltraFusion, which it calls an interconnection technology. Apple will release it as part of a new Mac desktop, the Apple Mac Studio, due out in March 2022. It will bridge the gap between the Mac Pro and the mini.

As of now, here’s what we know about Apple’s newest and most powerful chip, the M1 Ultra.

Apple M1 Ultra: Top upgrades

  • There are 20 cores in the CPU and 64 cores in the GPU, the most of any Apple processor ever
  • built, with 114 billion transistors, over 7 times the number of transistors in the original M1
  • It can support unified memory (RAM) of up to 128GB
  • with a 32-core neural computing engine
  • The M1 Ultra is marketed as being faster than the best discrete GPUs available today (like the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090) while using up to 200W less power than the highest-end GPUs.
  • Video professionals will be pleased to learn that Apple claims the Ultra can simultaneously manage up to 14 ProRes streams

In addition to the M1 Ultra, Apple is also expected to announce the Mac Studio, its latest high-end desktop computer.

Even though the desktops start at $1,999, if you want one with the M1 Ultra chip, you will need to spend at least $3,999 on it. Apple’s website lets you pre-order the devices, and you’ll be able to get them starting on March 18.

Specs of the Apple M1 Ultra

It is also worth noting that, as with other Apple M1 chips, the M1 Ultra combines the CPU and GPU into a single processor element and gives them access to the same pool of RAM memory, resulting in higher efficiency and decreased latency for users. It has been reported by Apple that the M1 Ultra is in fact made up of two M1 Max chips connected by a previously “hidden feature” on the M1 Max — a silicon interposer capable of achieving up to 2.5TB/s bandwidth between the two processors.

In other words, what this means is that the M1 Ultra is actually two M1 Max chips that have been joined together and share 128GB of memory between them.

In the M1 Ultra, 114 billion transistors are present, double the number of transistors in the M1 Max, and the CPU has 20 cores, 16 of which are performance cores, and 4 efficiency cores. In addition to this, it can access up to 128GB of shared memory with up to 800 GB per second in terms of bandwidth.

Also, it has a 64-core graphics processing unit, which is a tremendous amount of power for a chip as small as this one — it is near 8x more powerful than the original M1 processor. A 32-core Neural Engine makes it possible for the device to do even better image processing, machine learning, and so on.

A look at the features of the Apple M1 Ultra

I thought we would be seeing a brand-new Core M2 chip unveiled in early 2022, not another top-end M1 chip like the Ultra, but you’ll never catch me complaining. Considering that the M1 Max blew my expectations out of the water in 2021, the prospect of a new chip with twice as much power is very exciting to me.

Until we actually get the new high-end Apple silicon in for testing and reviewing, we’ll have to wait a while before we can say how this new high-end Apple silicon will help the Mac Studio compete on a par with the best computers on the market.
