Apple announced the launch of Mac Studio, a desktop system that looks like a Mac Mini, but with a small body that offers powerful performance, and the Mac Studio looks like a raised version of the Mac Mini, which is as high as two Mac minis stacked on top of each other. The Mac Studio can either use Apple's M1 Max chip or the newly released, more powerful processor, the M1 Ultra.
Front USB-C slot (M1 Ultra supports Thunderbolt) and SD card slot, 4 Thunderbolt (or USB-C) ports, two USB Type-A, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, headphone jack, and power buttons on the back, a total of 6 Thunderbolt 4 ports (two front USB-C ports on the M1 Max, two TB4 ports on the front of the M1 Ultra). The bottom side is 7.7 inches (about 19.6 cm) long, and two fans draw air from the bottom and drain through 2,000 perforations on the back.
Thanks to the merger of two M1 Max, the M1 Ultra will be a huge chip with 800 Gbps of memory bandwidth and support for up to 128GB of unified memory. It has a 20-core CPU with 16 high-performance cores and a 64-core GPU. Apple says it offers up to 8x more performance than the M1-generation Mac Mini.
The CPU performance is 50% ahead of the 16-core Intel Xeon chip, and the GPU performance is 3.4 times that of the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X unique display on the 27-inch iMac, which is 80% ahead of the Radeon Pro W6900X. Apple also made its own product comparison, M1 Ultra is 60% faster than the 28-core Mac Pro, can easily drive 18 channels of 8K ProRes 422 video, and the fuselage can be installed up to 8TB SSD.
Mac Studio is compatible with Apple's Studio Display, an external display that was also released today.
In terms of environmental protection, Mac Studio is also proud, with an annual energy consumption reduction of 1000 kWh compared to high-end desktop computers, and does not contain any harmful substances. The Mac Studio, like the MacBook Pro and Mac Mini, has no subsequent upgrade capabilities.
