According to foreign media wccftech, Apple has launched a plan to develop its own chips in 2020 to fully control its own supply chain.
Following the success of the M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, Apple today launched the M1 Ultra, the last product in the M1 series.
As the performance monster M1 Ultra, Apple encapsulates two M1 Max through the UltraFusion architecture to form a large Soc. Since the two chips can communicate with each other, the bandwidth reaches 2.5TB. In terms of performance, the M1 Ultra also doubles the M1 Max.
Such a large chip is naturally not small in size. The foreign media wccftech released a comparison chart of M1 and M1 Ultra. It can be seen that the volume of M1 Ultra is 8 times that of M1!
and,The M1 Ultra has seven times more transistors than the M1. The M1 has 16 billion transistors, while the M1 Ultra has an eye-popping 114 billion transistors, setting a new record.
The M1 Ultra also has a built-in 64-core GPU, while the M1 tops out with an 8-core GPU. M1 Ultra also supports 128GB unified memory, and the memory bandwidth is as high as 800GB/s.
In view of the thermal performance caused by the size and performance of the M1Ultra, it is obviously not suitable for thin and light portable devices such as MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, and can only be applied to slightly larger desktop devices such as Mac Studio with optimized heat dissipation.
This makes people curious about what kind of performance the next-generation M2 chip will bring. According to recent exposures, the M2 chip may be available this fall.
