<\/br><\/code><\/p>\n

\n

When Apple published the spec sheets<\/a> for its new Mac Studio computer, people were quick to voice their confusion<\/a> about why on earth the version with the new M1 Ultra chip<\/a> weighed a whole two pounds (almost a kilogram) more than the version with the M1 Max. While the M1 Ultra is basically two M1 Maxes stuck together, that\u2019s not the reason for the weight difference, according to Apple. It turns out, it comes down to the metal used in the computer\u2019s thermal systems.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what Apple spokesperson Alex Bender said in an email to The Verge<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\n

They have the same 370W power supply. The additional weight is due to M1 Ultra having a larger copper thermal module, whereas M1 Max has an aluminum heatsink.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The M1 Max-equipped Studio is 5.9 pounds, where the M1 Ultra version is 7.9 pounds.<\/em><\/figcaption>Image: Apple<\/cite><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

So there we go. Mystery solved. It\u2019s not that the M1 Ultra required a beefier power supply (which isn\u2019t an unfair assumption) or that the fans are powerful enough to push down the scale, as one Twitter user joked<\/a>. It\u2019s that it\u2019s got a heavier metal \u2014 at room temperature, copper is 8.96 grams per cubic centimeter, whereas aluminum is a svelte 2.70 grams. That means that, if the design of the heatsinks is exactly the same, the copper version would be over three times heavier than the aluminum one.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that copper isn\u2019t automatically better than aluminum. It\u2019s really all about design, as we learned<\/a> when Sony replaced the PS5\u2019s heatsink<\/a> with a smaller, lighter one, without accruing a notable performance hit. We\u2019ll likely have to wait for someone to tear the two versions of the computer down to see if there are any design changes in the Ultra version, but for now, it seems like the M1 Ultra\u2019s added heft can be chalked up to material choices.<\/p>\n
