Apple has unveiled the M6 and M5 Ultra, calling them its biggest Apple silicon architectural leap yet. The M6 is Apple's first 2nm chip, offering up to 1.2x faster multithreaded performance than M5 and a dual Neural Engine. The M5 Ultra is the company's first quad-die SoC, combining four dies through UltraFusion technology.

Apple has unveiled two new chips - M6 and M5 Ultra - marking its biggest architectural leap in Apple silicon to date. M6, debuting in the new Mac mini, is Apple's first chip built on a 2-nanometer process. M5 Ultra, powering the new Mac Studio, is Apple's first quad-die SoC.

M6 chip key features and specifications

M6 targets everyday users, students, developers, and enterprises, balancing performance, efficiency and on-device AI. Its 2nm process packs in higher transistor density for a substantial jump in both speed and power efficiency.

It comes with a 12-core CPU (2 super cores, 4 performance cores, 6 efficiency cores) i.e. two more cores than M5, delivering what Apple calls the world's fastest single-threaded performance, up to 1.2x faster multithreaded performance than M5, and up to 2.4x faster than M1
