Apple Unveils New Mac Studio With M5 Max and M5 Ultra Chips

Apple contiguous announced caller Mac Studio models with the M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips, the second of which is the company's astir almighty spot ever.



The caller ‌Mac Studio‌ features a next-generation SSD architecture built connected PCIe Gen 6 that Apple says is up to doubly arsenic accelerated arsenic before. The instrumentality besides gains Thunderbolt 5 ports with up to 120Gb/s of bandwidth, on with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 for the archetypal clip via Apple's N1 chip. The caller ‌Mac Studio‌ besides supports genlock implicit USB-C and tin thrust up to 8 displays.

The M5 Ultra spot includes an up to 36-core CPU that contains 12 ace cores and 24 show cores. It delivers up to 1.25x higher single-threaded show and up to 1.3x higher multithreaded show than the M3 Ultra from the erstwhile procreation ‌Mac Studio‌.

The M5 Ultra features a GPU with up to 80 cores, and a Neural Accelerator is built into each core, offering up to 4.5x the highest GPU compute for AI tasks compared to the M3 Ultra and much than 6x compared to the M1 Ultra. Apple says the GPU's latest shader halfway technology, paired with second-generation Dynamic Caching, hardware-accelerated mesh shading, and third-generation ray tracing, delivers up to 40% faster graphics show than the M3 Ultra.

The spot besides includes a much susceptible Media Engine, with dedicated hardware for H.264, HEVC, 4 ProRes encode and decode engines, and hardware-accelerated AV1 decode, on with a 32-core Neural Engine for on-device AI tasks.



The M5 Ultra is built by connecting 2 dual-die M5 Max chips utilizing Apple's next-generation UltraFusion technology, which increases inter-die bandwidth to implicit 4.4TB/s and transportation density by much than 6x, allowing the 4 dies to relation arsenic a azygous processor.

The caller ‌Mac Studio‌ with the M5 Ultra supports up to 512GB of unified representation and up to 1.2TB/s of representation bandwidth, which is simply a 50% summation implicit M3 Ultra. Apple says the added representation and bandwidth allows users to store ample datasets locally, summation tokens per second, and tally ample connection models with hundreds of billions of parameters wholly connected device.

Users tin besides clump aggregate ‌Mac Studio‌ systems unneurotic utilizing built-in enactment for Thunderbolt 5 and RDMA (remote nonstop representation access), creating a shared representation excavation crossed systems. Apple says a clump of 4 ‌Mac Studio‌ systems delivers up to 3x faster AI inference than a azygous system.

The ‌Mac Studio‌ is besides present disposable with the M5 Max chip, offering an 18-core CPU with 6 ace cores and 12 show cores, up to 40 GPU cores, up to 128GB of unified representation with up to 614GB/s of representation bandwidth, and up to 8TB of storage. Apple says the M5 Max delivers up to 3.9x faster AI show than the erstwhile generation.

The caller ‌Mac Studio‌ volition beryllium released connected September 22, but the exemplary with 512GB of unified representation launches successful precocious October. It is disposable for pre-order now.
