CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple today announced the new Mac Studio, featuring M5 Max and the all-new M5 Ultra, delivering a monumental leap in AI performance and even faster graphics for the most demanding pro workflows, all in its signature compact design that lives right on a user’s desk. Now featuring up to 4.3x faster AI performance,1 up to 2x faster storage,2 up to 1.8x faster graphics,1 and up to 1.3x faster CPU speed,1 along with higher memory bandwidth, Mac Studio empowers creatives, developers, AI researchers, data scientists, and more to push the boundaries of what they can do. Mac Studio with M5 Max features an 18-core CPU, an up-to-40-core GPU with Neural Accelerators built into each core, and up to 128GB of unified memory, accelerating complex pro and AI workloads. With the powerful M5 Ultra, Mac Studio scales up to a 36-core CPU, up to an 80-core GPU, and a staggering 512GB of unified memory, enabling users to run enormous LLMs entirely on device. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 come to Mac Studio for the first time, while Thunderbolt 5 rounds out its extensive connectivity, so users can take advantage of blazing-fast external storage, PCIe expansion chassis, and powerful hub solutions for the most intense workloads. Thunderbolt 5 also enables multiple Mac Studio systems to be clustered, bringing up to 3x faster performance for distributed AI inference when compared to a single system.1 Together with Studio Display and Studio Display XDR, along with the power of macOS 27 and the next generation of Apple Intelligence,3 including Siri AI,4 it is the ultimate pro desktop. The new Mac Studio is available for pre-order starting today, with availability beginning September 22.

“Mac Studio is the ultimate desktop for on-device AI and the world’s most demanding pro workflows, relied on by users for its tremendous performance and extensive pro connectivity, all in a quiet, compact design that sits right on your desk — and today, we’re pushing the boundaries even further,” said Johny Srouji, Apple’s chief hardware officer. “With the powerful M5 Max and the incredible capabilities of M5 Ultra, Mac Studio ushers in a new era of desktop computing, delivering huge performance gains for pro workloads and AI inference with frontier-class models. By integrating Neural Accelerators directly into the GPU and offering massive amounts of high-bandwidth unified memory, the new Mac Studio is our most powerful Mac ever.”

Mac Studio, powered by M5 Max and the new M5 Ultra, delivers phenomenal boosts in AI and graphics performance — featuring a powerful CPU and GPU with Neural Accelerators, along with higher unified memory bandwidth.

A Monumental Step for AI

Mac Studio is at the forefront of high-performance AI computing. Now, with M5 Max and M5 Ultra — Apple’s most powerful silicon ever — it’s turbocharged, putting frontier-class AI models right on a user’s desk. Neural Accelerators in each GPU core deliver dramatically faster matrix multiplication. M5 Max features phenomenal on-device AI compute with up to 3.9x faster AI performance than the prior generation, speeding up prompt processing.1 With M5 Ultra, Mac Studio achieves up to 4.3x the peak AI compute performance of M3 Ultra and a staggering 9.8x more than M1 Ultra.1 Combined with up to 512GB of unified memory and 1.2TB/s of memory bandwidth, 50 percent higher than before, Mac Studio lets users run massive models entirely on device with complete privacy — without counting tokens or worrying about rising cloud costs.

AI inference scales to entirely new levels with multiple Mac Studio systems. Users and teams looking to share AI compute can cluster multiple Mac Studio systems together using the built-in support for Thunderbolt 5 and RDMA (remote direct memory access). This creates a vast shared memory pool across systems, allowing users to load the largest and most demanding frontier-class open-weight models available today. A cluster of four Mac Studio systems delivers up to a remarkable 3x faster AI inference than a single system.1

Mac Studio is also a powerful platform for the rich ecosystem of tools AI researchers and developers rely on every day, utilizing the advanced frameworks in macOS. Core AI is a brand-new framework for building, running, and deploying AI models on Apple silicon. It provides an architecture optimized for Apple silicon, including unified memory, CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine, allowing developers to deploy full-scale LLMs locally and bring their own custom models into their apps. MLX, Apple’s open-source machine learning framework optimized for Apple silicon, enables developers to run, train, and fine-tune models with exceptional efficiency on Mac. In addition to these powerful frameworks, combined with Xcode and a robust ecosystem of AI tools and solutions, Mac Studio provides a complete, end-to-end platform for AI development — from experimentation and training to deployment.

With the new Mac Studio, developers can experience faster build performance in Xcode and utilize on-device coding agents.

With the new Mac Studio, users can experience up to 4.3x faster text-to-image performance in apps when compared to the previous generation.

Serious Speed and Power for Pro Workloads

Built for users who demand powerful performance in a compact footprint, Mac Studio with M5 Max is ideal for musicians, photographers, software engineers, and designers pushing real-time 3D and motion graphics. Mac Studio with M5 Max delivers a huge boost in performance, featuring an 18-core CPU with 6 super cores and 12 performance cores, so developers can compile code even faster. The up-to-40-core GPU with Neural Accelerators is now up to 50 percent faster than the previous generation, boosting graphics-intensive tasks like game development with higher frame rates and more complex scene geometry.1 With up to 614GB/s of unified memory bandwidth, M5 Max delivers superfast on-device AI compute, enabling users to run LLMs, generate images and video, as well as accelerate complex workflows.

The new Mac Studio also includes third-generation hardware-accelerated ray tracing, delivering faster, more realistic lighting, reflections, and shadows across professional 3D, VFX, and design workflows. Enhanced shader cores boost parallel processing, enabling smoother real-time viewport navigation and faster offline renders in creative workloads. In addition, its powerful Media Engine supports hardware-accelerated H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and AV1 decode, allowing filmmakers to color-grade uncompressed 8K footage and process multiple concurrent video streams with ease.

When compared to M4 Max, Mac Studio with M5 Max enables video editors to experience up to 3x faster Magic Mask performance in Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Studio, and 1.4x faster scene rendering performance with Maxon Redshift.
