Before we can tell you about the new Mac, we need to tell you about what’s powering it up inside. Apple announced the M1 Ultra, which is essentially its M1 Max chip stacked twice in the ultimate Mac Studio machine (we’ll get to that in a bit).

The M1 Ultra combines two M1 Max dies using a custom-build architecture, essentially doubling the performance. It’s a 20-core chip with 16 performance cores and four efficiency cores and supports up to 128GB of unified RAM. Apple claims the M1 Ultra is eight times more powerful than the M1 chip in the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 13.
