Apple announced the M2 Ultra, its most powerful processor to date, as part of the WWDC 2023 event. So what does the chipset that will accompany the new generation Mac Studio and Mac Pro bring with it? Here are the M2 Ultra featuresApple M2 Ultra takes the stage
The Apple M2 Ultra is based on the second-generation Apple Silicon architecture, which appears in the M2, M2 Pro and M2 Max models. In this context, we can say that the new processor is the most powerful chipset Apple has ever produced. So much so that Apple claims it is the most powerful chip you can find in any personal computer.
On paper, the Apple M2 Ultra contains 134 billion transistors on a larger die than the standard M2 processor. Let us remind you that the M2 Max has 67 billion transistors. Therefore, the processor, which doubles the M2 Max, has 24 CPU cores, 76 GPU cores, 32 Neural Engines and up to 192GB of combined memory support.
In addition, the processor, which draws attention with its memory bandwidth reaching 800GB / s, comes with a Neural Engine that is 40 percent faster than the M2 Max. Thus, a capacity of 31.6 trillion transactions per second is achieved. This leap will deliver 25 percent faster processing power and 30 percent faster image processing capacity than the M1 Max.According to Apple, the M2 Ultra is 4x faster than the most powerful Intel-based iMac, with up to 50% faster processing power in After Effects. It will also offer support for 22 8K ProRes video streams. Apple M2 Ultra will accompany only two devices for now. These are the next-generation Mac Studio and Mac Pro. News is being updated..
