New MacBook Air to Mac Studio and Mac Pro, there are plenty of new additions to the Apple arsenal. The cherry on the ice cream is the introduction of M2 Ultra silicon built using a second-generation five-nanometer process and uses Apple’s UltraFusion technology to connect the die of two M2 Max chips, doubling the performance. It comes with 134 billion transistors or 20 billion more than M1 Ultra. Its unified memory architecture supports up to a breakthrough 192GB of memory capacity. What about the new machines?
