What actually differs

Both GPUs launched in 2023: the M2 Pro on Apple M2 and the M2 Ultra on Apple M2.

Dense throughput for the M2 Pro against the M2 Ultra: FP32 6.8 vs 27 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.

Memory is 32 GB against 192 GB, fed at 200 GB/s versus 800 GB/s. More memory per GPU means larger models fit before you have to shard across cards, which often matters more than raw TFLOPS for inference.

For LLM training and inference, weight the FP8 and FP16 rows and memory capacity most heavily. For scientific and HPC workloads, the FP64 row is the one to read.
