Apple today announced the last M1 chip in the family, the M1 Ultra chip. This processor combines two M1 Max processors in a single chip.
After Apple only launched the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips in October presented has now released the M1 Ultra processor, which offers 128 GB of combined memory. With 114 billion transistors, it offers a memory bandwidth of 800 GB/s and an interprocessor bandwidth of 2.5 TB/s. This 20-core CPU processor offers 16 high-performance cores and 4 high-efficiency cores. With a 32-core Neural Engine, it can perform 22 trillion operations per second. With a 64-core GPU, it is eight times faster than the M1 chip introduced in 2020.

M1 Ultra Chip available in Mac Studio
The M1 Ultra chip offers hardware-accelerated H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and ProRes RAW support with two video decoding engines, four video encoding engines, and four ProRes encoding/decoding engines. Apple also claims that the M1 Ultra chip delivers industry-leading performance per watt on a 5nm process. This processor will power the all-new Mac Studio, unveiled at today's Peek Performance event.
