A maxed-out Mac Studio with the M5 Ultra will set you back $18,299

Apple has updated the Mac Studio with new M5 Max and M5 Ultra processors, alongside the launch of a new M6 Mac mini. According to AppleInsider, the company claims up to 4.3 times faster AI performance, 2 times faster storage, and up to 1.3 times faster CPU speed with the new processors. Johny Srouji, Apple's chief hardware officer, stated that the Mac Studio marks a new era of desktop computing, delivering huge performance gains for pro workloads and AI inference with frontier-class models.

The new Mac Studio is described as the most powerful Mac ever, thanks to Neural Accelerators directly integrated into the GPU and massive amounts of high-bandwidth unified memory.
