Mac Studio: Apple's beastly new desktop (TechCentral)

Apple has unveiled a faster silicon chip for a new desktop, a high point in Apple's move to power its devices with microprocessors designed in house.

Its first use will be in the creative professional-focused Mac Studio computer. Apple will offer two versions of the Mac Studio, one with the M1 Max chip and the other utilising the M1 Ultra chip. The new Mac Studio desktop starts at $1 999 with the new M1 Max chip, or $3 999 for a “fused” M1 Ultra chip.

Mac Studio (Mac Rumors)

The Mac Studio is a pro-oriented desktop Mac that's a hybrid between a Mac mini and a Mac Pro. Equipped with an M1 Max or M1 Ultra chip, tons of...

The Studio Display is compatible with other Macs and iPads, but it was designed to match the Mac Studio. The M1 Ultra can play up to 18 streams of 8K ProRes 422 video, while the M1 Max supports up to nine. The Mac Studio can be purchased with either M1 Max or M1 Ultra chips. To dissipate heat and allow for quiet operation, the Mac Studio has a series of airflow channels at the back and at the bottom. Comparatively, the highest-end Mac Pro earned a single-core score of 1152 and a multi-core score of 19951. This is especially impressive given that the Mac Studio with the M1 Ultra chip starts at $3,999, while a Mac Pro tower configured with a 28-core processor is over three times more expensive at $12,999. The extra weight in the M1 Ultra version is due to a difference in thermal needs. On the front, there is an SD card slot, along with two USB-C ports for M1 Max configurations or two Thunderbolt 4 ports for M1 Ultra configurations. There are four Thunderbolt 4 ports at the back of the Mac Studio, along with a 10Gb Ethernet port, two USB-A ports, an HDMI port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack with support for high-impedance headphones. According to Apple, the M1 Ultra's CPU is up to 3.8x faster than the highest-end Intel Core i9 iMac (which has now been discontinued), and up to 60 percent faster than the 28-core Mac Pro with Intel Xeon W processor. The Mac Studio is the newest Mac in Apple's lineup and is very early in its product cycle. The M1 Ultra chip is essentially two M1 Max chips connected together on a single die and able to perform as one chip, which Apple calls UltraFusion architecture.

Apple Mac Studio vs Mac Pro vs Mac Mini: Which Mac wins? (TrustedReviews)

With the recent release of the Apple Mac Studio, it's time to look back and see which Mac is the most powerful.

In terms of power, it seems that the Mac Studio will come out on top. Choosing the Ultra chipset with the most beefed-up processor, memory and SSD storage will take the price to £7999. The Mac Pro takes on a different look that’s more akin to your traditional desktop PC design. The Mac Studio is thicker, looking like two Minis stacked on top of each other, with the same sleek silver finish that makes it undeniably Apple. There are also some pre-installed software options available, with the choice to add on an Apple mouse and keyboard too. In terms of unified memory, the M1 Max can go up to 64GB while the M1 Ultra goes up to 128GB, with storage on both configurable up to 8TB, with the starting storage hitting 512GB for the Max and 1TB for the Ultra.

How to order the new Apple Mac studio and display: Price and ... (The Independent)

Apple has just revealed a powerful new desktop computer called the Mac studio, with new M1 Ultra chip - here's what it costs.

It is also worth adding that all versions of Mac studio come with a solid range of ports, comprising two USB-C and an SDXC card slot on the front. This model of Mac studio comes with 32GB of memory and 512GB of storage. This is a 27in display and sits below Apple’s flagship monitor, the 32in Pro Display XDR. Instead, this is a desktop that starts at £1,999 for the less powerful M1 Max processor, as used by the current-generation 16in MacBook pro. This is essentially a pair of M1 Max chips combined to make what is currently the company’s most powerful system. It has the same compact footprint of the Mac mini, but is taller.

Mac Studio vs. Mac Pro and Mac mini: Apple delivers extreme power (ZDNet)

Apple. On March 8, 2022, the Mac extreme pro experience changed, possibly forever. And, if Apple's performance numbers for the new M1 Ultra processor are to ...

Let us know your plans for the Mac Studio and the rest of the Mac line in the comments below. But I'll tell you this: it's definitely the next Mac I'll be buying when I need to upgrade. That would cause the massive cooling needs to require the much taller case of the Mac Studio. The new Mac Studio overcomes that, providing all the ports the Intel Mac mini offered and then some. Assuming Apple can deliver a reliable machine in volume, the Mac Studio is a home run. The Mac mini has long been an Apple cash cow. Again, Apple managed to cool those same processors inside the MacBook Pro, and there's far less room for airflow inside that laptop than there is in the much bigger Mac mini internal cavity. To do that, let's take a moment to revisit the very last Intel-based Mac mini (which Apple is still selling). I wrote about that Mac mini last year. In fact, earlier this month, YouTuber Snazzy Labs proved that the M1 Mac mini logic board was small enough for them to be able to actually hack it into a half-size case. The 7.7-inch square footprint is identical to the Mac mini footprint, but it's 2.5 times taller. The new Mac Studio is 7.7 inches square. Until now, if you needed absolutely extreme Mac performance, you bought a Mac Pro. The still-Intel-based platform was redesigned in 2019; the still-Intel based platform provided the raw power extreme pros needed.

Mac Studio vs. Mac mini: Which one should you buy? (iMore)

Both the M1 Mac mini and the new Mac Studio have similar form factors, but they differ in power and performance.

Mac Studio vs. Mac Studio vs. But, the Mac mini is a very competent home computer that will allow you to build a nice little workstation at home for a lot less money. If you're looking at the price of the Mac Studio and you start to feel faint, remember that the near $2,000 starting price doesn't include essential accessories like a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. Comparing the Mac Studio to the Mac mini is almost like comparing apples to oranges. Everything about the spec sheet tells you that the Mac mini and Mac Studio are in entirely different leagues, clearly meant for different types of work.

$10300: That's How Much the Most Expensive Mac Studio Bundle ... (CNET)

Here's the swankiest possible desktop setup you can assemble with Apple's new hardware.

The Mac Studio is a new product line from Apple. It's compact in size -- like the Mac Mini, but taller -- coming in at 3.7 inches tall. It's the first machine from Apple that runs its brand-new M1 Ultra chip, which was announced alongside the machine at Apple's latest event. At 7.7 by 3.7 inches, the Mac Studio is designed to live under the formidable 27-inch monitor. Add in some $300 glare-reducing premium nano-texture glass and a $400 stand that enables you to adjust its height, and you're looking at a monitor totaling $2,299. (It's important to note that once you make a choice, your decision will be final: Apple won't let you add more memory or storage after you buy the computer.) At first glance, the bundle's base cost is about $3,600, which accounts for the $1,999 Mac Studio and $1,599 Studio Display. If you choose the highest possible processing power and storage options, however, the two devices converge to create an impressive desktop workspace for over $10,000.
