About

M6 and M5 Ultra are Apple silicon chips announced in August 2026. M6 debuted in the new Mac mini, and M5 Ultra in the new Mac Studio. Apple positions them for higher performance and AI compute on the Mac.

According to coverage of the announcement, M5 Ultra offers about 4.5x peak GPU compute over M3 Ultra and supports up to 512 GB of unified memory. Apple's benchmark notes describe a Mac Studio with a 36-core CPU, 80-core GPU and 256 GB of memory, compared with M3 Ultra and M1 Ultra systems. Apple's own figures come from preproduction systems and select industry-standard benchmarks. A creator reported that a 256 GB, 1 TB configuration costs almost $11k.

The chips are sold only inside Mac mini and Mac Studio systems, not separately. They suit developers and professionals running local AI models, graphics and pro workflows. Apple Intelligence features arrive with macOS 27 and require a supported language.
