Apple Releases M2 Ultra Processor for New Mac Pro and Mac Studio
Apple has recently launched its new M2 Ultra processor for its Mac Pro and Mac Studio. The M2 Ultra is similar to the M1 Ultra, albeit with two M2 Max processors connected through an interposer called “UltraFusion.” According to Apple, the interposer connects signals to 10,000 and creates a bandwidth of 2.5 terabytes/s.
Furthermore, the two processors act as one processor to the operating system while having twice the number of CPU cores, up to 24 (16 high-performance and 8 high-efficiency), and an increased memory capacity of up to 192 GB RAM with a bandwidth of up to 800 GB/s. Also, the M2 Ultra has 76 GPU cores with 27.2 Gigaflop graphics performance and 30% better graphics performance than the M1 Ultra.
An interesting fact about Apple’s ARM chips is that they offer an excellent watt-to-performance ratio, making them the ideal solution for high-performance devices.
Compared to the M1 Ultra, the M2 Ultra has not increased the maximum number of high-performance cores but has increased that of the high-efficiency cores by four and the CPU cores by 12. Also, the M2 Ultra has 134 billion transistors, an increase from 114 billion transistors of M1 Ultra.
Although the clock rates of the CPU cores have not been published, the M2 Ultra is said to have up to 30% faster graphics performance than the M1 Ultra, making it the ultimate processor solution for the latest Mac Pro and Mac Studio devices.
In conclusion, Apple’s latest ultra-processor, the M2 Ultra, is a chip that’s set to revolutionize high-performance computing on their latest Mac devices. The M2 Ultra’s high-memory capacity, increased GPU performance, and efficient watt-to-performance ratio make it the ultimate choice for professionals in need of a high-performance workstation.
