Apple launches Mac Studio with M5 Ultra, reunifying line after M4 Max and M3 Ultra split
↗
Apple announced new Mac Studio desktops with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips, ending the previous generation's split between M4 Max and M3 Ultra models and making the M5 Ultra its most powerful chip to date.
The M5 Ultra merges two dual-die M5 Max chips via next-gen UltraFusion into a quad-die architecture with up to 36 CPU cores, 80 GPU cores, and 512GB of unified memory. With the Mac Pro line sunsetted, the Mac Studio is now Apple's highest-performance computer, though starting prices have climbed substantially from a year ago.

The M5 Ultra uses next-gen UltraFusion to merge two dual-die M5 Max chips into a quad-die architecture with up to 36 CPU cores and 80 GPU cores.
The Mac Studio line is reunified under the M5 generation after the previous awkward split between M4 Max and M3 Ultra models.
The M5 Ultra Studio starts at $5,499 with 96GB of memory, up from the M3 Ultra's original $3,999 launch price, with a 512GB configuration coming in late October at an unannounced price.
