Although the M1 Ultra is made up of two M1 Maxes, it is worthy of being the culmination of Apple chips, at least in terms of area.
Max Studio disassembled an Apple Mac Studio and posted a photo of the M1 Ultra's true appearance, which shows its huge size, occupying almost half of the entire PCB circuit board. AMD Ryzen™ processors have become little brothers in comparison, with an area difference of about 3 times.
Unfortunately, the M1 Ultra chip uses a large, thick thermal top cover, and no one has opened the cover for the time being, and the real appearance and specific size of the core cannot be seen.
The M1 Ultra is manufactured using TSMC's 5nm process, integrating up to 114 billion transistors, with 128GB of unified memory, 20 CPU cores, 64 GPU cores, 32 neural engine cores, multimedia engines, etc.
In addition, the design of Mac Studio itself is extremely compact, and it uses multi-layer PCBs, it is impossible to upgrade itself, and once it fails, repair is also a nightmare.
