Apple M3 Ultra 28 Core

Apple designs its own silicon based on the ARM architecture. The "Ultra" series is their top-tier chip, found only in the Mac Studio and Mac Pro.

Benchmarks reflect the raw speed. The multi-core score of ~28,000 makes it one of the fastest consumer-available processors in the world, outperforming most high-end desktop CPUs.

28 Cores (20 Performance cores / 8 Efficiency cores). No hyperthreading. Apple uses a hybrid architecture. Performance cores handle heavy tasks, while Efficiency cores manage background processes to save energy. Unlike Intel/AMD, Apple chips do not use virtual threads (Hyperthreading).

This chip does not need a separate graphics card. The 60-core GPU shares the "Unified Memory" with the CPU, allowing it to handle massive textures that would crash standard 16GB or 24GB GPUs.

This is a "Workstation" class processor. It isn't meant for everyday browsing but for heavy-duty tasks like compiling massive codebases or rendering complex 3D scenes.

While highly efficient per watt, the "Ultra" chip can draw significant power under full load. The thermal system in the Mac Studio is specifically designed to keep it cool and quiet.

Base speed is the minimum frequency for light tasks.

Turbo Speed is the maximum frequency the chip reaches when you push it to the limit.

This is ultra-fast "short-term memory" located on the chip. It helps the processor access data instantly without waiting for the main RAM.

Up to 512GB Unified Memory (819 GB/s bandwidth). Apple uses Unified Memory Architecture (UMA). This means the CPU and GPU share the same high-speed memory pool, significantly reducing latency.
