Apple Mac Studio: Apple M5 Ultra Chip With 30-Core CPU, 64-Core GPU, 96GB, 1TB
The Mac Studio is Apple's compact professional desktop, built for the heaviest creative, engineering, and AI workloads Apple silicon supports. This configuration pairs the Mac Studio's small aluminum unibody enclosure with the new Apple M5 Ultra chip -- Apple's first quad-die Apple silicon design, built by fusing two M5 Max dies via an UltraFusion interconnect running at 4.4TB/s of inter-die bandwidth. This is the base M5 Ultra configuration: a 30-core CPU (10 performance "super" cores and 20 standard performance cores), a 64-core GPU with hardware-accelerated ray tracing and per-core Neural Accelerators, a 32-core Neural Engine, 96GB of unified memory, and a 1TB SSD. Apple positions the M5 Ultra Mac Studio as the direct successor to the M3 Ultra model (also sold in this catalog), rating it up to 1.3x faster in multithreaded CPU work, up to 1.8x faster in graphics, and up to 4.3x faster in peak AI compute than the outgoing M3 Ultra chip.
This is the machine for render farms compressed into a single desktop tower -- 8K/ProRes video grading, large-scale 3D rendering, scientific simulation, and running large local AI models, where the Neural Accelerator-equipped GPU cores and 1.2TB/s of unified memory bandwidth genuinely matter rather than being spec-sheet numbers. It can drive up to four Apple Studio Display XDR monitors simultaneously at full 5K resolution and 120Hz. Connectivity is extensive: 2 front Thunderbolt 5 ports plus a UHS-II SDXC card slot, and 4 rear Thunderbolt 5 ports, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 2 USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, and a high-impedance-capable 3.5mm headphone jack -- six Thunderbolt 5 ports in total, each capable of 120Gb/s. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 are built in. The enclosure measures 19.7 x 19.7 x 9.5cm and weighs 3.6kg (8.0lb).
