The M2 Ultra is built from two M2 Max dies connected through UltraFusion, which is Apple's custom-built packaging technology. UltraFusion uses a silicon interposer that connects the dies with more than 10,000 signals, providing over 2.5 TB/s of low latency interprocessor bandwidth. UltraFusion's architecture enables the M2 Ultra to appear as a single chip to software. This means code doesn't need to be rewritten to utilize the extreme performance of the M2 Ultra.

The 24-Core CPU of the M2 Ultra consists of 16 next-gen performance cores and eight next-gen high-efficiency cores, delivering up to 20% faster performance than its predecessor, the M1 Ultra. Combined with a 60-core GPU and 192GB of unified RAM with 800 GB/s of unified memory bandwidth, this Mac Pro has the performance of not just one, but seven Afterburner cards built-in. It also features the industry-leading media engine, allowing playback of up to 22 streams of 8K ProRes video.

Combine Apple silicon performance with the versatility of PCI expansion. The Mac Pro features six PCIe Gen 4.0 slots, which provide twice the bandwidth for audio and video I/O, networking, and storage cards. There are two double-height PCIe Gen 4.0 x16 slots, two single-height PCIe 4.0 x8 slots, and two double-height PCIe 4.0 x 8 slots. There is also a half-length PCIe 3.0 x4 slot that is occupied by the Apple I/O card.

The Mac Pro offers a wide array of connectivity, starting with eight Thunderbolt 4 ports, which support up to 40 Gb/s data transfer rates and DisplayPort. There are also two HDMI ports that support high-bandwidth 48 Gb/s HDMI, enabling resolutions up to 8K and refresh rates up to 240 Hz. The two USB-A ports can handle legacy USB devices while the 3.5 mm audio jack provides headphone support. There are also wireless connectivity enhancements, such as Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.3. You can also opt for a reliable, wired connection via the dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN jacks.

The Mac Pro maintains its unique stainless steel space frame, removable aluminum housing, and advanced thermal system. The chassis is solid and stable. And thanks to the power efficiency of Apple silicon, the Mac Pro runs even cooler and quieter under heavy workloads.

Thousands of pro apps are optimized for Apple silicon. Because macOS was designed to scale with Apple silicon, the M2 Ultra brings a huge boost in app performance and capability to the Mac Pro. And there are thousands of apps optimized to unlock the full power of Apple silicon. From rendering effects to compositing 8K scenes to analyzing enormous data sets, your go-to apps run faster and smoother than ever.

The Mac Pro also uses far less energy than desktop computers in the same class, and over 40 percent less than the ENERGY STAR efficiency requirement. The Mac Pro is free of mercury, PVC, beryllium, and over 95 percent of the packaging is fiber based.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this M2 with 24GB of ram be able to handle multiple layers of 4k slow motion video and a motion graphic package?

A: Yes, the Apple Mac mini (M2) with 24GB of RAM is capable of multi layer editing with 4K video, however, for large projects I would recommend editing with proxies or upgrading to the M2 Pro chip.

Q: 2. Has Apple solved the "monitor flicker" issue that has been an unfixable problem with my M1 Mac Mini?

A: According to Apple support, the current fix for this problem is to disable Display Adaptive Sync/FreeSync options.

Q: 3. how much vram has this mac?

A: Macs with Apple Silicon processors, like the Apple Mac mini (M2), utilize unified memory. Unlike traditional computers, there is no separate pool of system RAM and VRAM. The Apple M2 processor has memory configurations from 8GB to 32GB that act as both the system RAM and VRAM based on the needs of the applications you're using.

Q: 4. is there any correlation between core speed and GHZ speed?

A: There's a correlation when comparing computer cores from a similar generation with a similar instruction set because a computer core that operates at a higher frequency, in GHz, can handle more operations per second. However, a higher frequency isn't the only aspect of a computer core's overall speed, and that correlation becomes loose when you compare processors from different generations or with different instruction sets. The Apple Mac mini (M2) has a CPU with four efficiency cores that operate at 2.4 GHz and four performance cores that operate at 3.5 GHz.

Q: 5. The most basic version of M2 can hold up to how many monitors?

[2x HDMI Output] I picked up a 2023 M2 Pro Mac Mini 16G / 1 TB. I have been on Mac for what seems forever. I am moving from an 3.2 core i7 2018 Mac mini. First...free overnight shipping with signature. Perfect.... computer is not going to a porch pirate. The machine is awesome. I expect to hold on to this for several years. I perfect this form factor over the Mac Studio. This machine is so fast. it boots in about 15 seconds. The Apple Logo and progress bar at boot time, barely spend any time on screen before the desktop appears and the machine is up and running. There is nothing holding this Mac back. I am really pleased with it. B&H Photo... they are awesome and I have my eye on a few more things I need. No regrets!! 5

[Integrated] Upgrade from late 2015 iMac 27, noticeable speed difference. Nice compact machine. 5

Warren	08/07/2024
[Wireless Mouse] Retired 2015 iMac (32 GB RAM, 1 TB fusion drive) and replaced it with 16 GB/512 GB M2 Pro for photo editing w/LrC. Paired it w/2T external SSD. The combination is amazingly fast! Can’t imagine a better choice. 5

Christopher	11/05/2024
[Wireless Mouse] Extremely fast and efficient. I do a lot of graphics and photography, both video and stills and love the speed of this machine. A little on the costly side, but you get what you pay for and this Mac Pro is worth it. Cost offset by increased speed of production. 5

John	11/05/2024
[Integrated] First time buyer from B&H: the price was right and the purchasing and shipping experience easy and professional. Very-well packaged for shipment safety. I would definitely buy from B&H again. The product speaks for itself. Apple's tight integration with a safe and secure cloud, and an advanced operating system with strong safety and security attributes make it the best overall consumer home computer for most levels of users. 5

[Wireless Mouse] New Mac Mini is great - much faster than my 2014 Mini and much easier to update too. 5

Richard	30/11/-0001
[Wireless Mouse] If you need to rip a lot of music for iTunes/Apple Music, you need a local host to store your files, either a PC or Mac. You can't use an iPad or iPhone to do so. I chose the Mac Mini for my wife's music library because it was reasonably priced compared to replacing her comparably configured MacBook Air and she only travels with her iPad. 5
