Apple M5 Ultra vs M3 Ultra: What's changed?

Apple just launched the new M5 Ultra for the latest Mac Studio and as you'd expect, it's the fastest consumer processor the company has ever built. But how much speedier is it than its predecessor, the M3 Ultra? Let's dive in and see how Apple's latest super silicon measures up. If you've followed Apple's Ultra chip family so far, you've probably noticed that it has skipped the M2, M4 and M6 generations and only come out as M1 Ultra, M3 Ultra and now M5 Ultra versions. The reason for that (and the delay compared to Apple's other chips) is because of the complexity -- they're effectively two processors mated together using Apple's "Ultrafusion" bridge technology.
