Apple takes on chip giants with M2 Ultra that support 192GB

Taking its silicon chip enterprise to a brand new degree, Apple on Monday introduced M2 Ultra, a brand new system on a chip (SoC) that helps as much as a breakthrough 192GB of reminiscence capability, which is 50 per cent greater than M1 Ultra.

M2 Ultra is constructed utilizing a second-generation 5-nanometer course of and makes use of Apple’s groundbreaking UltraFusion know-how to attach the die of two M2 Max chips, doubling the efficiency.

M2 Ultraconsists of 134 billion transistors — 20 billion greater than M1 Ultra.

It options 800GB of reminiscence bandwidth — twice that of M2 Max.

“M2 Ultra delivers astonishing efficiency and capabilities for our professional customers’ most demanding workflows, whereas sustaining Apple silicon’s industry-leading energy effectivity,” mentioned Johny Srouji, Apple’s senior vice-president of Hardware Technologies.

M2 Ultra encompasses a extra highly effective CPU that’s 20 per cent sooner than M1 Ultra, a bigger GPU that’s as much as 30 per cent sooner, and a Neural Engine that’s as much as 40 per cent sooner.

“With M2 Ultra powering the brand new Mac Pro, the Mac transition to Apple silicon is now full, revolutionising the laptop computer and desktop expertise. Fuelled by continued innovation in Apple silicon, it is the start of a brand new period for the Mac,” mentioned Apple.
