◊ Apple Card Monthly Installments (ACMI) is a 0% APR payment option available to select at checkout for certain Apple products purchased at Apple Store locations, (Opens in a new window), the Apple Store app, or by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE, and is subject to credit approval and credit limit. This is an enormous amount of RAM, which can dramatically improve performance when you’re working with very large files such as augmented reality models, music scores with huge virtual instrument libraries, or complex 8K video timelines. M1 Ultra also lets you configure your Mac Studio with up to 128GB of unified memory. M1 Ultra brings mind-bending processing power and bandwidth for even the most challenging workflows, like building elaborate 3D models, crunching massive data sets, and training machine learning models. It also includes an even more advanced media engine that lets you play back up to 18 streams of 8K ProRes 422 video.² The Neural Engine can speed through machine learning work, while the dedicated media engine lets you play back up to nine streams of 8K ProRes 422 video.²Ī fusion of two M1 Max dies, M1 Ultra features a 20-core CPU and up to 64 GPU cores, a 32-core Neural Engine, and 800GB/s of memory bandwidth. It is equally capable of handling CPU-intensive tasks like photo editing and compiling code and GPU-driven tasks like creating motion graphics and processing complex video effects.
M1 Max can easily run multiple pro applications at the same time. It includes a 16-core Neural Engine and a powerful media engine with H.264 and HEVC support and ProRes encode and decode. M1 Max features a 10-core CPU and up to 32 GPU cores, coupled with 400GB/s of memory bandwidth and up to 64GB of unified memory.
Choosing the right one for you depends on the type of work you’ll be doing. M1 Max and M1 Ultra are both incredibly powerful chips that take performance to a whole new level.
