M1 Ultra Chip Supports Up to Five External Displays

The M1 Ultra chip has a 20-core processor, up to a 64-coreGPU, and a 32-core Neural Engine. The all-new Mac Studio desktop computer is the first Mac to offer the M1 Ultra.

The M1 Ultra chip can support up to five external displays. The M1 Ultra chip in the Mac Studio can support up to four external displays with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz over USB-C, along with a fifth display with up to 4K resolution at 60Hz over HDMI, according to Apple.

MacBook Pro models with the M1 Pro chip support up to two 6K displays, while models with the M1 Max chip support up to three 6K displays and a fourth display with up to 4K resolution. MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro models with the standard M1 chip officially only support up to one external display, but users have worked around this limitation with the use of DisplayLink.

The M1 Ultra chip can support up to 128GB of unified memory, compared to the M1 Max chip's limit of 64GB. There are 16 high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores in the 20-core CPU.

Another game-changer for Apple is the M1 Ultra, which will shock the PC industry again. By connecting two M1 Max die with our UltraFusion packaging architecture, we are able to scale Apple Silicon to unprecedented new heights.
