The full disassembly of Mac Studio showed how large actually the latest silicon Apple called M1 Ultra. This multicip-module contains two M1 MAX matrices, connected to each other using Ultrafusion technology. It is important to note that this super-large package also contains 128 GB of memory. Unfortunately, silicon crystals are not visible during disassembly, because all the packaging is covered with a very large built-in heat sink.
M1 ULTRA is equipped with two 10-core processors and 32-nuclear graphics processors. Total silicon offers 114 billion transistors. According to Apple tests, the system must compete with high-performance desktop computers with RTX 3090 graphics. Despite the fact that the system is really powerful and has high performance when encoding video, it still cannot compare with a desktop graphics processor in raw synthetic or game workloads As shown in the first tests.
The Mac Studio system has several layers of printed circuit boards, it is a tightly packaged system that has not been designed to reflect the ability to update, but the service certified service should not be a problem.
The cheapest system based on M1 Ultra costs $ 4,000, and this is a 64 GB version with a limited 48-nuclear graphics processor. Full-featured M1 Ultra system is currently sold Apple at a price of 5,800 US dollars.
