Photo editing and audio projects were super smooth. In raw benchmarking, numbers were often meaningfully above the M1 Max and M2 Pro – Apple’s claims of up to 20% faster CPU performance and up to 30% faster GPU performance over the M1 Max appeared to bear out. For tasks where our daily drivers (M1 iMac and MacBook Air) are occasionally starting to lag, the Mac Studio didn’t blink. Unsurprisingly, the machine scythed through pretty much anything we threw at it. You can also opt to increase the base 32GB RAM to 64GB (96GB on the 38-core unit) and the miserly 512GB SSD all the way up to 8TB, depending on how much you want your wallet to shriek. Apple sent us a unit with a 38-core GPU, which costs an extra 200 quid. The entry-level Mac Studio has an M2 Max with a 12-core CPU and 30-core GPU. You’ll need to be really noise-sensitive (or require absolute silence in your work environment) for the fan to be a problem. But a small amount of ambient noise is enough to drown it out. The machine still isn’t silent, despite what others might claim. Although the thermal system’s fan never stops, unless the Mac Studio’s sleeping, the M2 Max’s one proved noticeably quieter than the equivalent in last year’s model. There is one change, though – at least as far as our review units go. And, being an Apple creation, the Mac Studio is a sealed unit – you won’t be cracking a panel off to install new components. Apple’s logo is proudly stamped on the top. (Just as well, because the Mac Studio is expensive.) On the front, there’s a slightly-too-bright power light and a couple of ports. Little has outwardly changed from last year’s model. That makes it easy to place anywhere, unlike gigantic ‘desktop’ towers. On the desk, the Mac Studio is disarmingly compact, given the power within. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Mac Studio.The idea behind the Mac Studio appears to be squeezing the power of a pro-grade workstation into a sleek, very Apple box that looks like an extruded Mac Mini. Mac Studio systems tested with an attached 5K display. Prerelease Final Cut Pro 10.6.6 tested using a 1-minute picture-in-picture project with 22 streams of Apple ProRes 422 video at 8192x4320 resolution and 30 frames per second. Testing conducted by Apple in April and May 2023 using preproduction Mac Studio systems with Apple M2 Ultra, 24-core CPU, 76-core GPU, 192GB of RAM, and 8TB SSD. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Mac Studio.Ĥ. Prerelease Final Cut Pro 10.6.6 tested using a 1-minute picture-in-picture project with 10 streams of Apple ProRes 422 video at 8192x4320 resolution and 30 frames per second. Testing conducted by Apple in April and May 2023 using preproduction Mac Studio systems with Apple M2 Max, 12-core CPU, 38-core GPU, 96GB of RAM, and 8TB SSD. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Mac Studio and iMac.ģ. Tested with Boris FX Sapphire 2023.5 plug-in and Adobe After Effects Beta 23.5.0 using a video project containing ten compositions with various effects applied. Mac Studio systems configured with 8TB SSD. Testing conducted by Apple in April and May 2023 using preproduction Mac Studio systems with Apple M2 Max, 12-core CPU, 38-core GPU, and 96GB of RAM and production Mac Studio systems with Apple M1 Max, 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, and 64GB of RAM. 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes actual formatted capacity less.Ģ.
