Apple today unveiled the M2 Ultra, its most powerful Apple Silicon chip yet. With the M2 Pro and Max launching earlier this year and rumors pointing to Apple finally bringing the M2 generation to the Mac Studio and Mac Pro, the launch of the Ultra wasn’t a major surprise. In many ways, Apple is following the M1 playbook here, after all, which also had the Ultra chip launch as the highest-end version of the Mac Studio.
Like with the M1 Ultra, the M2 version is also essentially two M1 Max dies fused into a single package. The M1 Ultra featured 20 CPU cores, 64 GPU cores and 32 Neural Engine cores, with support for up to 128GB of unified memory.
