Mac Studio is here. On the occasion of today's Apple Event, Apple really revealed a brand new computer, about the possible arrival of which we learned only a few days ago. At first glance, it can impress with its interesting design. This is because it is a device of compact dimensions, which in a way combines the features of the Mac mini and Mac Pro. But the essential thing is hidden, so to speak, under the surface. Of course, we are talking about extreme performance. So let's take a closer look at what the new product actually offers.

Mac Studio performance

This new desktop benefits primarily from its extreme performance. It can be equipped with M1 Max chips or the newly introduced and revolutionary M1 Ultra chip. In terms of processor performance, Mac Studio is 50% faster than Mac Pro, and up to 3,4x faster when comparing the graphics processor. In the best ever configuration with the M1 Ultra, it is even 80% faster than the current best Mac Pro (2019). So it's no surprise that the left rear can handle software development, heavy video editing, music creation, 3D work and a host of others. It can all be summed up rather quickly. In terms of performance, Mac Studio goes where no Mac has gone before and so playfully hides its competition in its pocket. More information about the new M1 Ultra chip can be found here:

Overall, the device can be configured with up to a 20-core CPU, 64-core GPU, 128GB of unified memory and up to 8TB of storage. Mac Studio can handle, for example, up to 18 ProRes 8K 422 video streams at once. At the same time, it also benefits from the Apple Silicon chip architecture itself. Compared to the unrivaled performance, it only needs a fraction of the energy.

Mac Studio design

As we already mentioned in the introduction, Mac Studio is able to impress at first glance with its unique design. The body is made from a single piece of aluminum and you could say that this is a slightly taller Mac mini. Nevertheless, this is an extremely compact device with regard to brutal performance, which also boasts a sophisticated distribution of components inside the computer, which ensures flawless cooling.

Mac Studio connectivity

Mac Studio is not bad in terms of connectivity either, on the contrary. The device specifically offers HDMI, a 3,5 mm jack connector, 4 USB-C (Thunderbolt 4) ports, 2 USB-A, 10 Gbit Ethernet and an SD card reader. In terms of wireless interface, there is Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0.
