苹果推出了全新改版的 Mac Mini 与 Mac Studio 桌上型电脑。新款 Mac Mini 跳过 M5 晶片,首度搭载采用 2 奈米制程的 M6 晶片,其具备 12 核心 CPU 与双 16 核心神经网路引擎,大幅提升了多执行绪与 AI 处理效能。
尽管外观设计并未改变,但搭载 M6 晶片的 Mac Mini 起售价调涨了 200 美元,来到 899 美元。同时,苹果也为有更高需求的使用者提供了搭载 M5 Pro 晶片的版本,带来更高的记忆体频宽与整体运算速度。
高阶的 Mac Studio 则升级搭载 M5 Max 与全新的 M5 Ultra 晶片。M5 Ultra 首创「四晶粒」架构,拥有 36 核心 CPU;苹果甚至指出,透过 Thunderbolt 5 串联多台 Mac Studio,将能史无前例地在本地端运行高达兆级参数的大型语言模型。
Apple has introduced updated versions of its Mac Mini and Mac Studio desktop computers. The new Mac Mini skips the M5 generation entirely, featuring the brand-new M6 chip built on a 2-nanometer process with a 12-core CPU and a dual 16-core Neural Engine for greatly enhanced multithreaded and AI performance.
Despite featuring no changes to its exterior design, the M6-equipped Mac Mini comes with a $200 price increase, now starting at $899. Apple is also offering a version powered by the M5 Pro chip for users requiring higher memory bandwidth and significantly faster overall processing speeds.
The high-end Mac Studio receives major upgrades with the M5 Max and the new M5 Ultra chips. The M5 Ultra introduces a "quad-die" architecture featuring a 36-core CPU; Apple even noted that users can connect multiple Mac Studios via Thunderbolt 5 to locally run large language models with over a trillion parameters.
