Apple's M6 And M5 Ultra Debut With First 2-Nanometer, Four-Die Chips
The M6 arrives in Apple's new Mac mini, the M5 Ultra in Mac Studio with up to 512GB of memory and 1.2TB/s bandwidth.
- M6 packs a 12-core CPU, 12-core GPU and dual 16-core Neural Engine at 170GB/s bandwidth.
- M5 Ultra fuses four dies into up to 36 CPU cores and 80 GPU cores.
- Apple claims M5 Ultra delivers 4.5 times the GPU AI compute of the M3 Ultra.
Why it matters: Every 'up to' number in the release describes the costliest configuration, not what most buyers will own.
