Apple has just introduced its last desktop computer Mac Studio, which promised to improve performance compared to Previous model Thanks to the long -awaited M3 Ultra, the highest -productive processor of the company today. The new machine is primarily intended for content creators, therefore, in addition to faster chips, it offers the latest high -speed SSD storage, Thunderbolt 5 technology and an updated neural engine.
It was a little expectation of the new Mac studio, as the latter went to WWDC 2023, almost two years ago. As before, you can think about it as a “Mac Mini Pro”, a larger and more powerful version Budget desktop AppleThe field as in the last two models, it is supplied in two configurations with the M3 Ultra or M4 Max chips and looks physically the same as the previous M2 model.
According to Apple, the M4 Max version is aimed at “Video editor, colorists, developers, engineers, photographers and creative professionals”. To this end, it comes with a 16-core processor and a 40-core graphic processor, from 36 GB to 128 GB of RAM, four Thunderbolt 5 ports with a capacity of 15 GB/s (triples the speed of the previous model) and more than 500 GB/s unified memory strip. It also includes two USB-A (up to 5 GB/s) ports, the HDMI port, 10 GB of Ethernet and a 3.5-mm headgirls.
Everything that makes it 3.5 times faster than the original Mac Studio M1 Max. Apple noted that with the help of M4 Max Chip, the latest Mac Studio is the first with an improved Apple graphics architecture to rendering nets with hardware acceleration, and a second -generation trace for increasing the creation of content and games. For processing AI, it offers a triple speed of the M1 Max version.
The M3 Ultra Model significantly raises Ante with a 32-core processor with 24 performance kernels, “50 percent more than any previous ultraplet and the processor itself, ever on the Mac,” said Apple. Meanwhile, the graphic processor packs up to 80 nuclei, another record for apple silicon, as well as a 32-point neuron engine for AI and machine learning on the device. It also supports from 96 GB to recording 512 GB of single memory, as well as up to 16 TB SSD storage.
You can wonder why Apple only now releases the M3 Ultra Chip when any other Mac (including a completely new MacBook Air) has some kind of M4 processor. The answer is that, by the same, it is not easy to develop and create Ultra processors, because these are actually two chips connected together using the technology of the “ultrafusive” Apple bridge. Despite the absence of “M4” in the name, however, the M3 Ultra is still about twice as fast as the best M4 Max processor at tax workloads and is 2.5 times faster than the Mac Ultra M1.
Given its power, Mac Studio with the M4 Max chip at a reasonable price, starting from 1999 US dollars with 32 GB of memory and 512 GB of storage. Mac Studio with M3 Ultra is another story that doubles it up to $ 3999, from 96 GB of unified memory (compared to 64 GB to) and 1 TB of the vault. Orders are now open with the installation of delivery at the beginning of March 12.
