Apple reveals an even faster M1 Ultra chip

The first in Apple to use the ‘Ultra’ naming scheme

If you think the M1 Max is already the “maxed out” chip from Apple, you’re wrong. Announced at the annual March Apple event, the M1 Ultra is their latest Silicon chip that promises a more supercharged performance that’s unrivaled and beats the M1 Max (and pretty much any other Intel and AMD Ryzen processor) no matter what creative task given to it.

Based from a 5nm process, it has 20-cores of CPU with 16 high-performance cores and four (4) high-efficiency cores. There’s also a 64-core GPU for blazing-fast graphics and 3D rendering needs. Lastly, it’s equipped with a 32-core Neural Engine and a Hardware-accelerated Media Engine for better encoding and decoding of H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and ProRAW projects.

To make that sound a whole lot better, the M1 Ultra can simply play a 22-stream 8K ProRes 422 video with ease.

Not only it achieves 1/3 increase in GPU performance, it’s also 200W less consuming than the highest-end discrete GPU in the market today. Its CPU performance is also unprecedented with a 90% faster CPU performance versus a 16-core desktop but with a lesser 100W consumption. Moreover, the M1 Ultra consumes 65% less CPU power than a 10-core desktop. Best of all? It beats the high-end Mac Pro to shame.

This breakthrough in M1 Ultra can also make it support up to four 4K Thunderbolt displays (such as the Pro Display XDR and the new Studio Display) plus a 4K TV all at once!

And with such power-efficiency in a powerful chip, the M1 Ultra-powered Mac Studio consumes 1,000 kWh less energy than that of a high-end PC desktop over the course of a year.
