The CPU has 24 cores, 20% faster than the M1 Ultra.

The GPU is 30% faster than the M1 Ultra with up to 76 cores.

The Neural Engine is 32 cores and 40% faster than the M1 Ultra.

Unified memory up to 192GB. It can also handle large machine learning models.

Below is an image summarizing the specifications of M2 Ultra. The manufacturing process is a 5nm process, and the memory bandwidth is up to 800GB/s, which is double that of M2 Max.

In addition, 'Mac Studio' with M2 Ultra will also appear.

50% faster video processing than previous Mac Studio.

3D rendering is 3x faster.

Play 22 simultaneous 8K ProRes video streams.

Computing performance is 6 times faster than iMac with Intel CPU.

It can output videos of up to 8K resolution at a frame rate of 240Hz.
