Apple Limits Mac Studio M3 Ultra to 96GB RAM Amid Supply Constraints

Apple has reduced the maximum RAM configuration for its Mac Studio M3 Ultra to 96GB, citing global memory shortages and increased demand for AI-capable hardware.

In March, Apple removed the 512GB RAM option for the Mac Studio M3 Ultra, and in May, the 256GB option was also discontinued. This leaves 96GB as the highest available memory configuration for this model.

The company has indicated that both the Mac Studio and Mac mini will face supply constraints for several months.

The reduction in available RAM configurations is attributed to a global shortage of DRAM, driven by increased demand from AI data centers.

Apple's Mac Studio M3 Ultra now offers a maximum of 96GB of RAM, reflecting the company's response to ongoing supply chain challenges and heightened demand for high-performance computing hardware.
