FULL STORY ======================================================================

Apple has announced an all-new high-end processor at its March 2022 hardware event, the M1 Ultra.

This processor's aim is to bring higher performance, likely to desktop PCs meant for creative professionals. Which means we might see a new iMac 27 and Mac Pro at this event a bit later.

Apple is claiming that this is the biggest processor ever built, and it was able to do so by essentially taking two M1 Max dies and connecting them with
a new connector, which allows Apple to reach apparently incredible performance, without losing efficiency when the two chips are basically talking to each other.

It also has a GPU with 8,192 Execution Units, which would place it on the
same level as an RTX 3080 from paper specs alone. We'll have to wait and see how it plays out in our tests, though.

Among all the numbers and charts Apple showed in the reveal for the M1 Ultra, there was a chart, saying that the M1 Ultra was able to reach higher levels
of performance as a system with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 and an Intel Core i9-12900K, while consuming 200W less power.
