Apple M2 Ultra (76-GPU)
Benchmarks & Specs

The Apple M2 Ultra (variant with 76 GPU cores) is a 24-core processor and thus the maximum configuration of the Apple M2 series. The processor is available in two variants: one with 60 GPU cores and one with 76 GPU cores. Except for the graphics unit, the two Apple M2 processors are identical.

With the Apple M2 Ultra, Apple also relies on a hybrid core structure of 16 large and fast "Avalanche" CPU cores, which are supplemented by 8 smaller and more efficient "Blizzard" CPU cores. The clock frequency of the processor is 3.5 GHz, the smaller efficiency cores clock at a maximum of 2.8 GHz.

Like all current Apple processors, the Apple M2 Ultra also features the Apple Neural Engine. In the Apple M2 Ultra, the AI engine with 32 cores (31.6 TOPS) is twice as powerful as in the Apple M2 Max. The Apple Neural Engine accelerates AI tasks in hardware. This can, for example, significantly speed up the computing time for image and video processing.

Apples currently fastest graphics unit is installed in the Apple M2 Ultra with 76 GPU cores. With 9728 texture shaders and 1216 SM processors, the 76-core expansion stage has a theoretical computing power of almost 27 TFLOPS and is thus roughly at the level of an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (30 TFLOPS). For comparison: NVIDIAs current top model, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, has an FP32 speed of 83 TFLOPS.

The Apple M2 Ultra can be equipped with a maximum of 192 GB LPDDR5 RAM (LPDDR5-6400) and achieves a maximum bandwidth of 820 GB per second via 8 memory channels. This is an absolute record value for a processor, but it is also required in order not to slow down the fast integrated graphics unit of the Apple M2 Ultra.

Apple does not officially state the TDP of the processor, but it should be around 90 watts. The Apple M2 Ultra is still manufactured in a 5 nm process. Only the Apple M3 is to be manufactured in an even finer 3 nm manufacturing process.
