When it comes to video performance, the M1 Ultra doesn’t shy away from smoothly playing back 18 streams of 8K ProRes 4:2:2 video in real time… not too shabby, I’d say. The SSD inside the new Mac Studio delivers up to 7.4GB/s and up to 8TB of capacity.

In terms of raw performance, this little beast seems to be unstoppable: The CPU performance of the Mac Studio with M1 Ultra is, according to Apple, up to 60% faster than the Mac pro with an 28-core Intel Xeon processor and up to 80% faster than the current Mac Pro with the fastest GPU. image credit: AppleĪs for pixel pushing, this little Mac Studio can drive up to 4 external monitors like the XDR displays, plus one extra 4K TV.

Bluetooth 5 and Wi-Fi 6 are of course also on board. Turning the Mac Studio around reveals its interfaces with the outside world: Four times Thunderbolt 4, 10Gb Ethernet, two times USB USB-A port, HDMI, 3.5 mm audio I/O and power. The new Max Studio comes in either M1 Max or M1 Ultra base configurations and this has an effect on available I/O as well: the M1 Max variant sports 2 USB-C ports on the front (as well as an SD card reader), the Ultra variant replaces these USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 ports.

To the outside, this combined processor acts like just one, so developers do not have to do any additional programming work to leverage the full power of the system. This technology provides a really fast interconnect between both M1 Max with up to 2.5 TB/s bandwidth. It is backed by 128 GB of unified RAM, which makes it a pretty powerful system! Actually, the M1 Ultra is two M1 Max connected via an undisclosed (until now) trick, called UltraFusion. Wait, what? M1 Ultra? Well, this so-called M1 Ultra System on a Chip (SoC) has 20 CPU cores (16 high-performance / 4 high-efficiency) in tandem with up to 64 GPU cores. Obviously, it is powered by Apple silicon in its M1 Max or Ultra variant. image credit: Apple Apple Mac Studio and M1 Ultra The Apple Mac Studio looks a lot like the Mini, except it’s four times taller and has a newly designed active cooling base.
According to Cupertino’s most famous company, this transition should be completed this year, in 2022.Īnd despite the fact that we haven’t yet seen the highly anticipated Mac Pro M1 (or M2?), what we’re witnessing today is the introduction of a brand-new model that appears to be sandwiched between the aforementioned Mac Pro and the much smaller Mac Mini. In 2020, Apple unveiled its own silicon chip design, the Apple M1, which would initiate the transition away from Intel processors in order to gain full control over the highly integrated circuit design of Apple’s upcoming computers. So what’s in store for video pros? Well, the brand new Apple Mac Studio is definitely worth a closer look, so let’s do just that! It’s that time of year again – Apple is holding its first big event of 2022 (“ Peek performance“), and everyone is sitting on the edge of their seats in anticipation of the latest hardware.
