Apple M1 Ultra Introduced: Here Are The Features

Apple made a big surprise at its March 8 event and introduced its new processor M1 Ultra. Here are the Apple M1 Ultra features with all the details!




As part of the Apple March 8 event, the new color option for the iPhone 13 appeared with the new iPhone SE 2022 with 5G support and the 5th generation iPad Air with the M1 processor, as well as the new Mac Studio model. The computer, which has a larger body than the Mac Mini and is announced with a screen called Mac Studio Display, is powered by the Apple M1 Ultra processor. This was one of the biggest surprises of the event, while the M1 Pro and M1 Max processors kept their freshness, Ultra arrived. Here are the Apple M1 Ultra features!


Before we get into the details of the M1 Ultra, we would like to point out that Mac Studio and Mac Studio Display are two different products and must be purchased separately to avoid confusion.


Apple M1 Ultra features: 20 core CPU, 64 core GPU

Manufacturing Technology 5 nm

CPU 20 core

GPU 64 core

RAM Support 128GB

Number of Transistors 114 billion

Memory Bandwidth 800 GB/second

Inter-Processor Bandwidth 2.5 TB/second

Additional Features 32 core Neural Engine – Media Engine

To produce the M1 Ultra, two M1 Max molds were linked together using UltraFusion, Apple's specially designed packaging architecture. Thanks to this feature, the two processors join forces by communicating with each other at an astonishing 2.5 TB/s speed, and this processor, called M1 Ultra, emerges.




16 cores of the 20 core processor work for high performance and 4 cores for energy efficiency. Supporting up to 128GB of RAM, the M1 Ultra has a 64-core GPU, that is, a graphics unit. In this way, 8 times more performance is achieved compared to the M1.




Based on the 5 nm fabrication process, the memory bandwidth of the M1 Ultra is at the level of 800 GB / s. This is 8 times higher when compared to desktop computers. Apple Silicon processors both offer high performance and consume much less power compared to their competitors. Maintains industry leadership in performance per watt.




It delivers 90 percent higher multi-threaded performance than the fastest 16-core desktop PC processor on the market at the same power level. In addition, the M1 Ultra achieves the peak performance of its PC processor using 100 watts less.




The M1 Ultra consists of 114 billion transistors, the highest number of transistors ever seen in a personal computer. It can transcode video to ProRes format up to 5.6 times faster than a 28-core Mac Pro with Afterburner.


Mac Studio with M1 Ultra can play up to 18 8K ProRes streams, accomplishing what no other processor can. M1 Ultra also works in integration with exclusive Apple technologies. These technologies include a display engine that can control multiple external displays, integrated Thunderbolt 4 controllers, and best-in-class security features such as Apple's latest Secure Enclave, hardware-verified secure boot, and real-time security technologies.


The 32-core Neural Engine in the processor has the capacity to perform 22 trillion operations per second.
