The M6 is Apple's first 2-nanometer chip, featuring a 12-core CPU, 12-core GPU with Neural Accelerators, a Dual 16-core Neural Engine, and up to 170 GB/s of unified memory bandwidth. The M5 Ultra uses next-generation UltraFusion technology for a quad-die architecture, with up to a 36-core CPU, 80-core GPU, and 1.2 TB/s of unified memory bandwidth, 50 percent more than the M3 Ultra.", "body_md": "Apple today debuted M6 in the new Mac mini and M5 Ultra in the new Mac Studio, providing an extraordinary leap in performance and AI capabilities. M6, Apple's first state-of-the-art 2-nanometer chip, advances every compute block, delivering gains across every dimension of performance. The chip features a larger 12-core CPU complex with the world's fastest CPU core, a larger 12-core GPU with Neural Accelerators, a Dual 16-core Neural Engine, and up to 170 GB/s of unified memory bandwidth.\n\nM5 Ultra, the ultimate powerhouse for pro and AI workloads, uses next-generation UltraFusion technology to form a quad-die architecture for the first time in an M-series system on a chip (SoC). The chip includes an up-to-36-core CPU and up-to-80-core GPU with a massive 1.2 TB/s of unified memory bandwidth, 50 percent more than M3 Ultra. With their advanced technologies, these SoCs deliver extraordinary compute with industry-leading power efficiency, empowering users to do even more on a desktop.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pr-apple-introduces-m6-and-m5-ultra-processors-series", "canonical_source": "https://www.techpowerup.com/351934/apple-introduces-m6-and-m5-ultra-processors-series", "published_at": "2026-08-25 17:50:30+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-25 18:15:41.555965+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-chips", "artificial-intelligence", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["Apple", "M6", "Mac mini", "M5 Ultra", "Mac Studio", "UltraFusion", "M3 Ultra"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pr-apple-introduces-m6-and-m5-ultra-processors-series", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pr-apple-introduces-m6-and-m5-ultra-processors-series.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pr-apple-introduces-m6-and-m5-ultra-processors-series.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pr-apple-introduces-m6-and-m5-ultra-processors-series.jsonld"}}
