ultra-fast

Beyond merely swift

Ultra-fast means extremely fast, emphasizing speed beyond what's merely fast.

The prefix intensifies: ultra-fast delivery, ultra-fast internet speeds, ultra-fast camera shutter.

Common in technology and marketing contexts where ordinary speed isn't impressive enough.

Often hyphenated, though ultrafast appears in technical writing.
