SAN FRANCISCO, March 5 (Xinhua) -- Apple on Wednesday announced M3 Ultra, the highest-performing chip of the company.
The chip offers the most powerful CPU and GPU in a Mac, double the Neural Engine cores, and the most unified memory ever in a personal computer, Apple said.
M3 Ultra also features Thunderbolt 5 with more than 2x the bandwidth per port for faster connectivity and robust expansion. M3 Ultra is built using Apple's UltraFusion packaging architecture, which links two M3 Max dies over 10,000 high-speed connections that offer low latency and high bandwidth, according to the company.
UltraFusion brings together a total of 184 billion transistors, it noted.
"M3 Ultra is the pinnacle of our scalable system-on-a-chip architecture, aimed specifically at users who run the most heavily threaded and bandwidth-intensive applications," said Johny Srouji, Apple's senior vice president of Hardware Technologies.
