No M4 Ultra Chip? Apple Confirms the M4 Max Chip Lacks UltraFusion

[CWallace]

I'm a bit confused here. I thought the M3 Max chip did NOT have an UltraFusion interposer, yet Apple's M3 Ultra description says it's made with two M3 Max chips. Did they make versions with and without the fusion chip?

I am not sure anyone actually x-rayed or de-lidded an M3 Max to see if it had the UltraFusion connector or not. They just presumed it was missing because Apple's marketing die shots did not show it, it was not present.

That being said, the M3 Ultra uses an "enhanced" version of the M3 Max with a TB5 controller and a possible new memory controller (to address the higher RAM count), so Apple could have added an UltraFusion connector as part of the redesign if it had indeed not been present on the "standalone" M3 Max used in the MacBook Pro line.

Yeah; I feel you.

I don't do video, and I am not wedded to external timelines . . . such things are always easy for me to say 🤷‍♂️

Maybe "Better the pain, now, rather the difficulty later" ?
