FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

Both GPUs launched in 2026: the M5 Ultra on Apple M5 and the M5 Pro on Apple M5.

Dense throughput for the M5 Ultra against the M5 Pro: FP32 33 vs 8.3 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.

Memory is 512 GB against 64 GB, fed at 1.2 TB/s versus 307 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.
