Mar. 9, 2022Apple M1 Ultra Chip: Specifications
The highlight of the Apple M1 Ultra is the fact that it’s made up of two M1 Max chips. Yeah, you are reading it right. Apple has employed a breakthrougharchitecture technology called UltraFusionin the development of this chipset. The company has fused two Apple M1 Max chips together to create a single, flagship-grade chipset in the form of the M1 Ultra.
What are the benefits of the UltraFusion architecture, you ask? Well, it allows us to get rid of the latency, bandwidth, and power efficiency issues witnessed when you connect two chips via the motherboard. Apple boasts that the M1 Max chipsupports a die-to-die interconnect technology, which enables the company to join two chips and deliver double the performance.“This multi-dye architecture is ahead of anything else in the industry,”said Johny Srouji, SVP, Hardware Technologies, Apple.
The M1 Ultra includes 114 billion transistors (7x the count on the original M1 chip), supports alow-latency 2.5TB/s interprocessor bandwidth, and up to a whopping 128GB of unified memory.
Now, many of you must be wondering, what are the hardware specifications of the Apple M1 Ultra? You get a 20-core CPU on the M1 Ultra with 16 high-performance cores and 4 high-efficiency cores. This chipset also doubles the integrated GPU spec of the M1 Max, meaning you have a64-core GPU on the M1 Ultra. It supports 8192 concurrent units, 21 teraflops of processing power, and a lot more.Apple M1 Ultra CPUApple M1 Ultra GPU
A common question that many users will have with the launch of this new processor is – which is the first product or device powered by the Apple M1 Ultra chip? And the answer is the Apple Mac Studio.“M1 Ultra is the next giant leap for Apple silicon, delivering breathtaking performance to Mac Studio,”says the company in anofficial blog post. More information on the Mac Studio and the Studio Display will be shared in a dedicated article soon, so stay tuned.
