WWDC 2023: M2 Ultra chip announced to complete the Mac’s transition to Apple Silicon

|

Apple recently announced a new system on a chip (SoC) at WWDC 2023 and it’s not the highly anticipated M3 chip. The new chip is called “M2 Ultra” and is the largest and most capable chip Apple has ever created.

The M2 Ultra chipset will be incorporated in the new Mac Studio and Mac Pro, making them the “most powerful Mac desktops ever made.” With M2 Ultra powering the new Mac Pro, the Mac transition to Apple silicon is now complete.

Apple’s most capable chip yet!

The new M2 Ultra chip is built using Apple’s second-generation 5nm process, which utilises UltraFusion technology to connect the die of two M2 Max chips to double performance. The M2 Ultra consists of 134 billion transistors, which is 20 billion more than M1 Ultra SoC.

M2 Ultra’s unified memory architecture supports up to a breakthrough 192GB of memory capacity, 50 percent more than its predecessor. The new M2 Ultra also features 800GB/s of memory bandwidth, twice that of M2 Max. Apple claims that the M2 Ultra SoC takes Mac performance to a “whole new level.”

Apple M2 Ultra Specifications

The M2 Ultra features a 24-core CPU with 16 next-gen performance cores and eight next-gen efficiency cores. Apple claims that the M2 Ultra chip will deliver up to 20 percent faster performance than the M1 Ultra SoC. The GPU on the M2 Ultra packs up to a 76-core GPU that’s up to 30 percent faster than the M1 Ultra.

Additionally, the 32-core neural engine, which is up to 40 percent faster than its predecessor. It also features a media engine with twice the capabilities of M2 Max for blazing ProRes acceleration. Apple says, “Rendering 3D effects using Octane on Mac Studio with M2 Ultra is up to 3x faster than Mac Studio with M1 Ultra.”

If the numbers are accurate, the new M2 Ultra chip should offer considerable gains in performance over its predecessor. The M2 Ultra will also touted to offer new power efficiency gains. The M2 Ultra will arrive on the new Mac Studio and Mac Pro first.

AI 走入微型裝置 掌握機器學習

不少學校開始投入教授 AI 方案, 而獻主會聖母書院早於兩年前已投入於此,這次於暑假期間向筆者分享最新方案,利用 Arduino 將 AI 方案收納其中,務求讓學生於學習時感覺新穎,而設備也有毋需連線及粍電量低的好處, 務求可以較低的門檻讓學生接觸機器學習 (Machine Learning) 。 早於 2019 年,獻主會聖母書院已有發展 AI 教學方案,起初是運用 Raspberry Pi 4 加 Pi Zero Camera ,配合 TensorFlow Lite 製作手語方案,令學生具備基本 AI 認知。次年因應疫情,製作社交距離檢測儀,運用雲端的 Google Colab ,學習物件辨識的運用和盲點。該校過往的教學設計,大多採用 Raspberry Pi ,優點是價錢合理,每件約 400 多港元,但往往要配合特定的作業系統,對新手而言,學習門檻較高。 獻主會聖母書院教師團隊(左起)教師鄭臻諺、彭嘉煒和黃梓駿。傳統程式與機器學習的分別。機器學習降落手中 至於該校新發展,彭嘉煒老師講解,這次會讓學生理解傳統程式與機器學習的分別,傳統程式如要辨識貓,就要命令電腦按規則分析,如顏色、形狀等。機器學習 (Machine Learning) 角色不一樣,把答案和樣本給電腦 「學習」,電腦自行找出規則,如貓有甚麼特徵?顏色是怎樣?形狀是怎樣?經過機器學習後,由電腦決定甚麼規則才有效。至於這次的學習課程及計劃籌備,由黃梓駿老師負責,他運用 TinyML (微型機器學習技術)作全新教學方案。黃老師表示,隨著人工智能成熟,人工智能在雲端以外,逐漸走入至微型設備中,如此一來不用經由雲端資料傳送,加上在電量方面著重低功耗發展,有望在更多設備上應用。此外, TinyML 能儲存於 Arduino ,成本更低之餘,操作難度亦降低。 黃老師選用 Arduino Nano 33 BLE…
