512GB M5 Ultra Mac Studio 开放订购，售价 22,299 美元
据 TechRepublic 报道，Apple 已于 10 月 28 日开放此前公布的 512GB 统一内存 M5 Ultra Mac Studio 订购。该配置配备 36 核 CPU、80 核 GPU、512GB 统一内存、1.2TB/s 内存带宽与 1TB SSD，售价 22,299 美元，升级到 16TB 存储则为 29,799 美元。512GB 选项仅限最高端的 M5 Ultra 处理器，M5 Max 最高只有 128GB。
对需要在本地运行大型 AI 模型或数据集的团队而言，512GB 选项可让单台紧凑桌面承载超出小内存机器承载范围的工作负载，但 TechRepublic 指出，若无明确需求，15,500 美元的内存升级很难证明其合理性。
Apple’s most powerful Mac Studio now costs more than $22,000 when configured with its maximum memory capacity, putting the compact desktop firmly in high-end workstation territory.
On Oct. 28, Apple made its previously announced 512GB unified-memory option available to order for the M5 Ultra Mac Studio. The configuration starts at $22,299, while upgrading to the maximum 16TB of storage raises the price to $29,799.
For AI developers, creative professionals, and IT teams, the bigger question is whether that enormous memory capacity justifies the cost, especially when less expensive Macs may already handle their workloads.
