Apple has officially revealed the pricing for the Mac Studio configuration featuring 512GB of unified memory, as first announced in August alongside the new M5 Ultra chip. The 512GB option is exclusive to the top-tier M5 Ultra model, which includes a 36-core CPU and 80-core GPU. Starting at $22,299, the base M5 Ultra configuration includes 512GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
Customers can upgrade storage up to 16TB, pushing the total to $29,799. The 512GB RAM upgrade represents a $15,500 increase over the standard M5 Ultra base model, which ships with 96GB of unified memory. Orders placed today for the 512GB RAM variant are expected to arrive between late November and early December.
This high-end configuration targets professional users requiring extreme memory capacity for intensive workflows such as video editing, 3D rendering, and scientific computing. The Mac Studio remains Apple's most powerful compact desktop, designed for creators and prosumers who need workstation-level performance in a small form factor.
