Users silicon interposer. Twice the density of anything in the industry.
10000 links, 2.5 TB/s
4x bandwdith of leading edge
114 billion transistors
800 GB/s DRAM bandwidth, 128 GB of unified memory
16 performance cores, 4 efficient cores
64-core GPU

Overall
@dylan522p any idea what silicon interposer is being used?
One of the big things with M1 Ultra is going to be that GPU with 800 GB/s of bandwidth. Assuming the GPUs on each die can work collectively on a single task.
Actually, that's really important - can the GPUs work on a single task together? or is it an Xe Link scenario?
800GB/s is also not the real story. A single core can barely access 200 GB/s, so it's a collective effort to use that bandwidth
Announcing Mac Studio
The small one is Mac Studio. There's also Mac Studio display.
Guessing on price, Mac Studio probably starts at $4k ? More?
Single aluminium extrusion -
3.7-inch by 7.7-inch by 7.7-inch
Double sided blower
Custom circular power supply
Low impedance heatsink
'Barely hear it' for most workloads
4 x TB ports
10 GbE RJ45
2 x Type-A
HDMI
2 x TB4 / Type-C 10 Gbps on front
SDXC port
Supports high impedance
Supports 5 x 4K displays
CPU Performance
GPU Performance
Exact benchmarks likely to be on the website later
More CPU
More GPU
128 GB unified memory for GPU.
This'll be good for ML
8 TB of 7.4 GB/s SSD performance
No way to add extra though except through TB4 ports
The specifications seem great.
The problem is that to take these pictures and do this tweet stream, I'm using custom scripts I've written using software that has no Mac counterpart.
and FWIW, this looks like a system crashed during Johny's section
I don't know what this means
Final specifications
Studio Display time.
Tilt and Vesa require a different stand. to buy
600 nits
5K retina, 14.7 MP
10-bit native
27-inch
Nano-texture option to minimize glare
Has A13 Bionic inside
Comes with 12MP camera
3 mic array
six speakers for spatial audio
looks like two fans as well?
Does the A13 do noise cancellation?
3 x 10 Gbps USB-C
1 x TB port, 96W power from monitor
Really needs two TB ports for daisy chain
Sustainability
Pairs with an Mac
Spot the socket
as @bmastenbrook said, if there's an A13 inside the display, where's the apple tv+ support?
@bmastenbrook M1 Ultra Mac Studio starts at $3999.
CALLED IT
Studio Display at $1599
@bmastenbrook March 18th
And that's a wrap.
I've already seen a request for me to review it. I have zero contacts with Apple.
