Mac users who demand the ultimate in performance can rejoice because there\u2019s a new \u201cUltra\u201d chip in town. Meet the M5 Ultra.<\/p>\n
Simply put, the M5 Ultra is the biggest and most powerful Mac chip ever. Like previous \u201cUltra\u201d chips, the M5 Ultra is the result of two M5 Max chips fused together using Apple\u2019s UltraFusion interconnect technology. To attain maximum performance, Apple is using a next-generation UltraFusion interconnect<\/b> that has an increased memory bandwidth of 4.4TB\/s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In its full-fat configuration, the M5 Ultra has 36 CPU cores, which consist of 12 super cores and 24 performance cores<\/b>. Apple claims up to 25% higher single-threaded performance and up to 30% higher multi-threaded performance over M3 Ultra.<\/p>\n
As for graphics, the M5 Ultra can be ordered with up to 80 GPU cores<\/b>. Since each core features a Neural Accelerator, Apple claims it can deliver up to 4.5 times the peak GPU compute for AI compared to M3 Ultra. These GPU cores also feature Apple\u2019s latest shader core and Dynamic Caching technologies for up to 40% faster graphics performance over M3 Ultra.<\/p>\n The Mac Studio now comes in two flavours: M5 Max and M5 Ultra.<\/p>\n Photo: Apple<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n For users who find the M5 Ultra overkill, you can also order the Mac Studio with the M5 Max chip<\/b>. It\u2019s the same chip found in the M5 Max MacBook Pro, which means it can have up to 18 CPU cores and up to 40 GPU cores. For more on the M5 Max\u2019s performance, check out the MacBook review below and our special interview with folks from Apple.<\/p>\n These new Mac Studios will also get the latest in Apple\u2019s connectivity and storage technologies. Featuring the N1 chip, they will support Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6<\/b>. Thunderbolt 5 is standard, which enables transfer speeds of up to 120Gbps with compatible devices. Finally, next-generation SSD architecture enables transfer speeds of up to 15GB\/s. These Macs will come preinstalled with macOS 27 Golden Gate.<\/p>\n The USB-C ports at the back of the Mac Studio are all Thunderbolt 5 ports.<\/p>\n Photo: Apple<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The Mac Studio with M5 Ultra starts at S$7,999<\/b>, while the version with the M5 Max starts at S$3,499<\/b>.<\/p>\n The new Mac Studio is available now , and when they are you can find them on Lazada, Shopee, and the Apple Online Store.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Note: This article was first published on 25 August 2026 and it\u2019s republished now because the updated Mac Studio goes on sale today.
