finally someone that is my opinion. For professionals that need these products to make money, it does not matter if it is 2 000 dollars or 4000 if you can make a lot of money and at a really low power consumption
Max I’m always impressed with your content, I’m in the market for a a wireless router and tips or recommendations? Thank you ☺️!
Great video. Do you think the Mac Studio Ultra is deliberately throttled to give the upcoming Mac Pro some headroom to be faster with the same chip?
Devs need to work extra hard
So should I cancel my order?
The killer combo is a M1 max studio with a MacBook Air, still cheaper than a MacBook Pro with M1 max. It allows you to move around and still do a lot on the go but full power behind the desk.
Why not a Mac Mini and a MacBook Air? For all the extra money you will get a display, a mouse/trackpad and a keyboard!
My exact setup
@@Watchandlearn91 OK, I get it! I hope that the next Mac Mini will have more ports and a much better processor!
Only if you already have a monitor though and it means no 120Hz mini LED.
Not that I'm saying that's not a good idea, but one of the main reasons I went with a 14" MacBook Pro over a 13" or an Air was for the mini LED screen.
@@thebuddercweeper you are right. The MacBook Pro 14" is much better valued than the Mac Studio.
I get the point about the value of the Macbook over the base Studio. But if you know you are never leaving your desk, then all you get is a more expensive device with less ports, more awkward desk footprint, and a battery to fail or even swell from leaving it plugged in for 5 years straight.
I just upgraded from a 2015 i7 iMac to the base $2000 Mac Studio for music production & man is this machine a beast. Got most of my plugins working & no major issues so far. Another benefit of upgrading to the new system w/ Monterey is I was able to get the newest version of LogicX. This fixed several issues I was having on my old system.
THanks for sharing! I'm also thinking about upgrading. I have a 2017 i7 macbook pro mainly for making music using LogicX. Everything is working fine so I really don't know if I should give my old machine up for only $300 trade-in price. But on the other hand, in 2/3 years I have to upgrade anyways. Is the Mac Studio really worth it?
@@tiancongxia3533 definitly not worth trading for 300 dollars. Better to keep and upgrade.
If it works fine for you, then not really any need to upgrade. Might as well wait until you do need to upgrade. And by then we will have m2 Pro or m3. Whatever it will be, it's likely you will have more options in the future.
Im looking to upgrade from a mid 2012 macbook pro, because it no longer works as needed.
@@tiancongxia3533 Yes, it's worth it. I would hang onto your Macbook. You could sell it for more locally.
may i ask, how many cores did your i7 have? I am trying to figure out if the mac studio m1 max with 10 cores will beat my 2013 12 core trashcan in multi core performance.
@@semihyanyali it seems highly likely that it will beat the trash can in performance. Especially if using M1 native apps.
I assume the single core performance on the M1, is far superior to the 2013 can.
I'm still using a mid 2012 macbook pro.
Sitting here with the Mac Studio with m1 Max. It edits 4-5 streams of HEVC Multicam with smooth playback, c70 raw 60fps footage smooth, and r5 footage as well. That's all most wedding filmmakers need. Doesn't make sense to go for the Ultra for video editing based on a hope of updated software that may be released by the time m2 are launched anyway.
Am I ok with 32gbs of ram. I got that instead of 64gb and not sure if I needed 64gb?
@@northparkfilms3045 I think 32GB is plenty for video editing. That's what I've got on mine.
I've been making 1-2 hour videos with 2010 MBA and a base model m1. I'm already happy then. I can imagine using Mac Studio. Might be overkill though.
I have a MacBook Pro with the M1 Max 32C, 64 GB RAM, I don’t know if I could justify going Ultra either.
The M1 Max is already a powerhouse as it is.
@@northparkfilms3045, 32 is probably fine.
Only reason I went with 64 is so I can have enough RAM to run Windows 11 in a VM alongside macOS.
I have a Mac Studio Ultra with 48 GPU cores ... used for heavy Photo Editing, lite Video Editing, Office Apps, Web Surfing... This thing will last me for the next 5 years. Replaced a ThreadRipper 2950x/RTX 2080TI Tower PC ... I called it the space heater for obvious reasons... I don't miss it as I'm enjoying the extra quiet and space in my office.
Great Job! I learned a great deal. You guys are blowing your competition away.
I see that Premiere, After Effects and Motion 5 were updated on the same day as Final Cut. I’d love to see how well these apps are optimised for Apple silicon, whether Final Cut and Motion 5 are getting faster at the same rate as other Apple apps on Apple silicon, and whether After Effects has overtaken Motion 5.
Cheers!
Would the base model max studio be great colour grading in resolve? Ik that can be a gpu intensive process and I’m look to upgrade as of rn. I have a 2015 MacBook Pro. I was thinking of keeping it though for regular daily. stuff and then using the Mac studio as home setup.
Would the ultra fully loaded be good for streaming on TH-cam and such including doing some web design and video work with Final Cut Studio and such
I have an iMac and I still enjoy life, I have no desire to upgrade to the Mac studio, but it does get me excited for the future once its all dialled in!
Did the latest software update (final cut or other) change or optimize anything for video editing?
Hi!
I have a MacBook Pro M1 Pro 16GB
I have the issue that creating an PDF with Preview making drag & drop png into pdf, the laptop have a lot of issues to perform this work and often Preview doesn't accept to drop the png into the pdf file.
Can you perform a check if this is really an issue or only single point fail?
It was 1 pdf and starting more of 10 png files dropped.
Thanks!
Do you get fan noise from the MacBook Pro when it’s docked and you are using it with a display? Im debating canceling my Mac studio for my recording studio.
Have a 2013 6.1 trashcan (12 core, 64gb ram) Trying to figure out if i would see a significant multi core improvement with mac studio base model with 10 cores over my trashcan with multi core performance? Or would it would be a drawback or not much of an improvement since it has 2 cores less than my trashcan. Any ideas? Thanks
Can you test the new version of Final Cut Pro, if there a difference with M1 Max(all kind) thanks !
Why do I find it difficult to believe that Max Tech has found something “Apple doesn’t want us know”?
optimizing code for the hardware is quite difficult. The sad reality is it takes lots of time with different workloads. As you improve one area, some other area becomes the bottleneck. Even with NVidia cards, optimizing code is time consuming. Look at cyberpunk and how bad it was at launch day. Keeping the GPU fed is quite tough.
Present day, is the base model M1 Max Studio a good option?
If you want the best use of the Ultra chips, set up a virtual machine and pin it to use the cpu and gpu cores on the second cpu. You can then run a video renders in parallel, one on bare metal and the other in the VM at the same time on the same machine. Each machine will be slightly slower than running one job stand alone but together they should run at a much more productive rate than doing them sequentially.
I am planning to buy, 10C MAX 32 GB. instead of 32 GB if I opt for 64GB will that show any performance improvement ? or just 32 GB will do in case of 10C MAX? Kindly reply !
One thing apple has gone on about is multiple 8k pro res, can that be compared against other systems, does the ultra see gains
What machine/config do you think is best for Logic Pro? I have the Intel 16" Macbook maxed out and it chokes on a dozen tracks with a few filters. Huge disappointment.
Wouldn’t you be concerned using an M1 Max MBP as a desktop unit in terms of longevity?
I think it would be a fantastic idea, connected to the new 27” Studio display, but I’d be constantly worried about using it full time as an always on, connected to power, desktop unit.
I’d appreciate any advice.
What would be the concern? I've been using mostly MBPs connected to displays instead of desktops. For improved thermals / ergonomics you can use a sturdy laptop stand like the J5 Create.
I’m gutted they haven’t released a more powerful 27” iMac, I don’t want to buy a separate screen and machine and currently the 24” iMac is too small and underpowered for what I need. 🤞🏻 we get a better iMac.
Can you connect more Mac Studios via Thunderbolt to summon more workpower?
Hi, I use LG Monitor 27 Inch - Refresh Rate 75 Hz. HDMI connection. Can I connect this to Mac Study M1 Max? Will the speed vary if I use HDMI monitors or cables?
I saw a new update of Final Cut was out last night.
Looks like you will have to go with the upcoming Mac Pro if you want a "not holding back" system.
Amazing content.I really appreciate your content!.You put so much effort in these videos-Thanks so so much!.Keep up the quality content!🔥🙂!.
Love the videos. I'm just about to purchase one of these Mac Studios, upgrading from older 12 core Mac Pros but I use Cinema 4D and Vray for architectural renders and just wanted to know is there a particular spec I should go for with money being tight? Is the M1 Ultra worth the extra or should I get the M1 Max and increase ram and go for larger SSD? Bear in mind I'm losing all those hard drive bays in the Mac pro so am also going to have to purchase extra SSD drives etc.. Any help would be much appreciated?
Do you think there is a chance the buffer gets increased with future apple silicon generations?
Very helpful information. Thanks.
This is an interesting information video on the various configurations of the Apple Mac Studio Computer. I recently replaced a very well equipped 2015 model 27 inch iMac with a base model Mac Studio equipped with a 1 terabyte solid state drive. I am just a home user, using this computer at home. When I was investigating the base model Mac Studio at the Apple store, I found it to be about twice as fast as the 2015 iMac that I had. So far I am very satisfied with this Mac Studio computer. For home use the base model Mac Studio computer is a very fast computer and the Studio Display is a very good display.
I have the 20-core/128/48/2. I ran the amorphousdisktest and those sequential disk scores are legit (7000 MB/s) BUT the non sequential speeds are worse than a SSD from 2015. What is going on?
Great content, as usual. I'm following this M1 family really close because I'm planning to jump from PC to Mac soon. I didn't do that yet because Unreal Engine 5 still doesn't run really well on M1s, and Houdini just received a beta version based on metal. So, these two pieces of software are essential for my workflow. That's the reason why I'd like to ask you guys to include Houdini and UE5 in your tests. Houdini especially, as we have other channels covering UE5 on M1s, but nothing for Houdini. I think Houdini could do really well because you can use the GPU to accelerate a lot of simulations, but it was always pushed back by the VRAM limitation. I'd love to see a sim using 128GB of VRAM that the M1 Ultra can provide. Thank you.
I guess you stick to pc because...as you know..these macs still cant pull the workflow.. especially 3d and simulations...
Can we have a Handbrake benchmark as well with both Software and Videotoolkit please?
Got to commend you for making comments that are backed by examples and data and not baseless opinions
Awesome review Max!! Thank you!
For Davinci Resolve the 8k Canon Raw Debayer / Decoder is almost entirely CPU bound. Is it the same in FCP? I would think so, but not positive. If it is , then 8K Canon Raw to HEVC shouldn't use the GPU much at all. CPU and Hardware Encoder should be used heavily though. Anyway thanks for the great testing and videos.
My hope is Davinci Updates NR and Grain algorithms for the M1 Ultra.
Every time I watch these I’m praying you don’t say something that makes me regret ordering my M1 Ultra Max Studio. I’m a musician and I went Ultra because it comes stock with 64GB ram and also some plugins can be very cpu intensive as well. I also want the ability to not have to buy a DSP based interface. We’ll see how that goes.
Let us know how it goes but I think there’s no way that anything will make you regret buying it after you use it no matter how many review articles, TH-camrs, etc with click bait headlines.
I have an iMac 2020 almost spec’ed out and an M1 Pro (which feels and behaves like double the performance of said iMac) and an Apple Studio Display and every single time everybody around me would be “oh man, but why are you buying that, here, you can buy this $1600 machine that has the exact same specs, or check this 32” $400 4K monitor… it’s a better deal!” Every single time when the try and use it they instantly change their minds.
I don’t recall seeing any comparisons in any of your videos on SSD speeds. Do any of your configurations have 2 1TB drives or 2 TB drives? I would think if they are set up as Raid 0 the 2 and 4 terabyte drive speeds would be twice as fast as the lower end models.
We did have it in one video. None of them are raid 0 but the 4TB and 8TB are a bit faster but won’t make a notice difference in real world use.
This has been a really useful video! I'm still stuck with which Studio to buy.... as the problem is software optimization not the actual hardware,,though I don't see what use better chips will be in them, if the issue is software,,if you did a video comparing all the software bottlenecks that would be really useful.....
I upgraded to a Mac Studio Apple M1 Max from a mid- or late 2015 21.5" iMac a little over a month ago and am very happy with it, except that I miss the quality of the iMac speakers. I primarily use the database software FileMaker Pro in my work--also some still photo manipulation and editing--and this machine has been a big improvement. The iMac seemed to always be around 155ºF, and this is 92º right now. I like that the CPU load on this is now 11%, whereas I probably used 80-90% on the iMac. I probably could have gotten less computer and been happy with it, but I paid under $500 for two Dell monitors, and the only hole I need to fill now is with better speakers. I'm not a huge audiophile--I was satisfied most of the time with the iMac speakers. Does anyone have a recommendation for me?
This video was really helpful and informative. I was looking to get a refurb Mac Studio M1 Ultra to complement my M2 Max MBP, but now I’m thinking I’ll wait for the M2 Ultras to show up in refurb state as less expensive. Thanks guys!!
I got a m1 max studio with 32gb of ram am I ok to edit 4k60 h.265 or should j have upgraded my computer more? Not sure if I should have got the 64gb. Is 64 overkill or unnecessary?
I too have the same doubt . . . Can anybody reply to this ?
I'm going to be switching from an iMac back to a MacBook Pro. And I'll likely go with this monitor, it seems pretty versatile. Thanks for the review.
Loved the in-depth review, although much of the tech talk is over my head. My question is: I want the best current solution from Apple for Final Cut/Premeire video editing and Avid ProTools. These are exclsuviely my primary workflow software needs. Should I buy the base Mac Studio M-1 Max, or do I get more from the M1-Ultra? Based on your review, I would conclude the former will more than suffice. I should also point out I'd rather not go the MacBook route as I don't do any on-site work where that flexibility is beneficial.
Your series of videos on Mac Studio are awesome. As a video editor, I can't thank you enough. This is a big purchase for me and I want to make the right choice. I've seen you touch on memory size and it's the one thing I’m stuck on! I’m a 4k film editor. My heavy workflow involves DaVinci resolve with multiple timelines, all huge raw files, color, fusion, the works. Add in simultaneously completing graphic work in after effects and photoshop. Throw in some music editing. And general browsing/emails/juggling in the background. The Ultra 48 core seems to be my clear choice for smoothness and speed of workflow (export time!). But... BIG QUESTION... 64gb or 128gb?!?!? I'm willing to spend on the 128 if it's gonna guarantee things moving like butter. But would like to use the budget elsewhere if it's a total waste and unnecessary. Help obi wan. :)
A heads up for anyone who plans to buy this and works in a quiet environment. The fans idle at around 1300 rpm and you can definitely hear them if you're working in a quiet room. In an office or studio environment you won't hear them but if you're working in a home office you'll hear them for sure. Keep this in mind if you don't like to hear fan noise while you're working.
Base Studio or 16GB M1 Mini for someone who mostly uses Photoshop and Illustrator for design and an occasional short Final Cut video, but primarily use Chrome and web apps?
If you are hovering around 4-5gb ram usage with apps only (not sure off the top) then the studio is likely overkill.
@@TheDaysEnd Thanks! I think you're correct. I have an M1 MacBook Air with 8GB Ram and it works flawlessly - and like 10x faster than my 2015 27" iMac that needs to be replaced.
Image downloader chrome extension slows down your M1 Max studio Mac browser b y half as well on windows.
apple just released the fcp 10.6.2...interesting to know if the m1 ultra will perform better than the m1 max version of the mac studio now, previously they are both the same performance
That's addressed in the video, result = no difference
The price of the Mac studio really seems to suggest that it is not the replacement for the regular 27” iMac. It’s the replacement for the iMac Pro. There is no replacement for the non-pro 27” iMac.
mac mini with studio display?
@@qwertzuiop875 That would be a pretty great combo for about the same price as a well equipped 27” iMac.
@@Piketom1 To be fair it's a quite expensive combo. I wouldn't buy a studio display because Apple missed many opportunities with it. I would have wished, that when you buy two displays the speakers would merge together, like the HomePods. Promotion should be standard in 2022 and it's sad that the display itself has no Airplay capabilities, e.g. for when you want to stream content without turning on the Mac.
Does the M1 Max on the MBP have the same Thunderbolt controller?
Yes
It's always confusing to know which way to go. One video says "don't buy the base model".. another video says "all you need is the base model.. I'm replacing my MacBook Pro 2015, so i realize just about any model will be an improvement, but for the price Id like to do it right and try to future proof as much as possible. I mostly need it for photo editing (LR and PS) and sometimes video editing in Premiere and Resolve. I know LR eats up RAM like its going out of style, so i doubt the base would be the best.. So now i'm almost thinking the base Ultra?
Apple quite often releases hardware first then improves it with software at the next WWDC so we may just have to wait two months. I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to create some kind of translation layer to convert TBIR to TBDR or something.
Became a subscriber ever since you started reviewing the new Mac Studio. Awesome info. I have a question. I edit videos with FCPX and photos with Lightroom and PS. My plan was to buy the M1 Ultra 48 core with 64GB Memory and 4TB storage using the LG UltraWide 40WP95C-W 39.7" 21:9 Curved FreeSync 5K2K HDR IPS Monitor. I like the wide monitors better than any 27” +/- monitor. My reason for going with the M1 Ultra is for the extra thunderbolt ports and what I thought was more power for future proofing the system. After watching this video, I’m not so sure now. Based on my use, do you think the system I’m considering would be slower or faster than the Mac Studio M1 Max?
I think most people (myself included) would have been happier with the current 27" iMac with the M1 Pro and M1 Max, at the same price point as the iMac occupied.
So does that mean that the Mac Pro will definitely have to be M2 Extreme because of these limitations?
Good stuff. Very helpful man
For me, as I sit at least a month out still of delivery for my Studio Ultra 20c 48c gpu 64gb ram I cannot find any video or information really diving into Photoshop performance. I am currently on M1 Mini and M1 MacBook Air. As a full-time architecture photographer I work in layers. A LOT of layers. anywhere from 15-50 exposure layers per final image. My current bottle neck is wait time for layers to load from LR and waiting for these layers inside of Photoshop to align and merge. would LOVE to see real world uses of this.
For me, the base model studio with SSD upgrade hits all the marks. For music production it is amazing, if only third parties would hurry up with native M1 support….
I think this is what I am going to go for, just need a monitor to go with it, not paying 1600 for the monitor
Which ssd for upgrade You recommend and why?
When the software is updated for Mac Studio. It will be a real MONSTER.
Great high level over view - thanks! Oh, just a minor nit - at 17:54, your graphic that shows the price of the Mac Pro has the comma misplaced. $1,4999 vs $14,999.
*What happens if the upcoming Mac Pro chips have this same problem. It is going to be an even bigger problem because it will have multiple times more GPU performance than the M1 ultra but will not be able to use it.*
@@DanielToman just get a pc and save the stress😉
Great video! but for me as a Premiere Pro + After effects based studio - I still dont know if I should go with the 12900+3090 or the Mac Studio 🤷♂️
If the loudness of the PC doesn't bother you, go with the PC. 12900+3090 are way more powerfull than Mac Studio, especially in After Effects. That Nvidia graphics card is made exactly for that. And that 12900 chip have more encoders than Mac Studio. I would go with mac studio only if you mostly do Lightroom & Premiere Pro. For any graphics or 3D stuff the PC will outperform the Mac Studio.
@@ThinLineMedia loudness isn't a big deal. But stability is. I'm afraid that switching back to windows will unleash even more stability problems.. Driver issues etc...
@@ArielBrener I never had any problems with Windows 10 and Adobe products. Works like charm and is stable. Although I have seen people experience more instability on M1 because it is still a new system and some apps are having bugs and are not stable on M1.
Binned vs unbinned?....How can you tell?
In the mid 1990's I experienced failure of real time video capture software that I wrote when the system memory was increased beyond 256 MB (yeah... old days). Everyone was surprised to see performance go down when memory was increased. It turned out to be caused by exhaustion of the TLB in the MIPS processor that was being used (old SGI workstation). Beyond 256 MB ram the OS would start to swap TLB cache entries and the extra load slowed things down enough to cause the realtime time code to fail. It's rare to hear of performance problems related to TLB size, but it does happen as we see with this video.
I ordered my M1 Ultra 128GB 64 core GPU a while back, and my delivery date is set for end of May. That might get pushed back due to China Covid lockdowns. Am I looking forward to getting it? Hell yeah! I expect this to be my long-term powerful Mac desktop for years to come.
So it's pointless to buy the studio with the ultra processor and how much hotter would the laptop run compared to the studio? Is the mac pro netter then the 2017 imac?
The only question I ask myself is why?
Why is the difference between M1 Max and M1 Ultra so small, especially in Final Cut?
I have the 14" MacBook Pro with M1 Max and the Mac Studio with M1 Ultra.
In Blender or Lightroom there are huge differences. The M1 Ultra is much faster at the tasks and renders I do.
But in Final Cut Pro there is not much of a difference. How is that possible?
Is Final Cut Pro with 10.6.2 still not perfectly optimized for M1 Ultra? I hope Apple can fix it somehow.
Software limitations, Photoshop got an update today did you notice any difference? It seems like they will release new update for Final Cut Pro with the new MacOS.
Apparently Apple did the public release of that elusive FC update yesterday - so we should be seeing new tests as that update optimizes for the Ultra chip.
@@matthewcaporale I'm writing this after updating to the new Final Cut Version (10.6.2). Unfortunately it made on my M1 Ultra Mac Studio not much of difference in comparison to my M1 Max MacBook Pro.
@@izzat6504 I hope so! I mean at the latest when the new Mac Pro with Apple Silicon with even more power is released, they have to fix this!
I did not test it until now with the new Photoshop Update.
@@izzat6504 New Final Cut Pro v10.6.2 (and Motion and Compressor was released and supports the M1 Ultra
I use parallels. I think machine with 20 cores 128 gb ram looks inviting.
Apple just release an update for final cut pro to support M1 Ultra, can you do the test to see if there is any difference?
Yes we talked about it in this video 👍
New FCP came out lets see the difference on Studio. Some benchmarks please before and after.
No difference
Is there at least one app fully optimised for the M1 Max/Ultra? :D
Nope
Nice explanation & I think re-architecting products for both TBDR (& UMA) aren't coming any time soon. Speaking of which you show the 'combined CPU' for Affinity Photo at 10:17 - that should have been the 'combined GPU' which really shows off UMA & beats high-end Nvidia & AMD systems.
Disappointed with the 10.6.2 FCP update - I've seen other vids showing an improvement even on the M1 Max but not sure why the Ultra didn't pick up anything.
I know I'm a year behind, but I have a question. :-) I work in DaVinci Resolve 18.5, the studio version, I'm thinking of getting the Mac studio, M2 max. I work mostly 4K, 10 bit 422, documentary and feature film length projects, some color grading and correction, but nothing crazy with regards to animation or transitions or anything like that, although I would like to have the option. Do you think this is my best option? Especially if I upgrade the cores and go to 64 gig of RAM? 1tb hard drive? That would run me about $2,800. Am I making the right move? :-) I doubt you'll answer this, but I'm taking a leap of faith. :-) regardless, great video as always. And thank you in advance if you do answer me.
I'm glad you recommended the 16" MacBook Pro over the base model Mac Studio since you can get a complete solution for less money if you don't have a monitor, keyboard or mouse!
And I think it’s worth it even if you do have those peripherals.
This gen of Macbook Pros are quite a good value
thank you for saving me the time to watch their video :) I will purchase the 16" MBP instead
MBA is the best in price
@@qwertyphysics True but I prefer a larger screen since I'm now using a 17" laptop. The 16.2" MacBook Pro is close with higher resolution.
I am still on the fence. I am learning to be a real estate photographer. I use Lightroom, Photoshop, Luminar Neo, DXO for photo editing. I do not know whether to buy a mac studio ultra or a 129000 navidia rtx 3090 intel desktop. Or maybe a laptop mac book pro? If the desktop is the best, please tell me exact specifications for a 129000. Thank you so much. I appreciate your help.
Great video. Helps to know this.
Hello, Tech Max Support Team,
Thanks so much for your detailed video! I've enjoyed many of your professional videos of the comparisons among various machines! I have two particular questions for you: I'm an OBS Studio user and hope to use this Mac Studio to live stream 4K/60fps video in the future years.
1.) Would you think OBS Studio requires more CPUs or GPUs?
2.) Would you believe it is more recommended to buy the Mac Studio with M1 Ultra chip for the 4K/60fps streaming?
Thank you so much!
M1 Max should be fine I think. 32GB ram just in case. Not sure how optimized obs is though
if you want to game and stream dont go for mac. the m1 ultra cant gamr on 4k 60fps and obs is not optimized for m1 support. Get a pc with nvidia gpu and use nvenc codec for streaming.
It cannot the m1 MacBook Pro max with 32gb of ram cannot live stream 4k 60 the encoder cannot keep up.
@@RichardKincses Hi, Richard! Thanks! Actually, I don't play video game! I'm a pianist and hope to use three of my Logitch Brio Webcams (4K quality) to stream my piano playing. I'll only use my Logic Pro X and piano sample library while streaming. Would you think M1 Ultra or M1 Max version of the Mac Studio will work for 4K/60fps streaming?

Guess ill have to wait for the m2 or m3 hopefully they will have ray tracing
The M4 and M5 will be much faster, so wait a bit longer!
It seems Apple throttles the amount of wattage the Ultra can use on the Mac Studio. This make me think, what if there’s no Extreme version for the new Mac Pro release in WWDC but an Ultra version that is not throttled at all and can go up to 100C and use 1.5 times the wattage used by the Ultra on the Mac Studio. Extreme performance from an unlimited M1 Ultra.
Have you tested Etherium mining on Mac Studio?
I know before for macbooks the problem was overheating ... what about now?
please make video on installation of after effect crack
I love this channel. I only have one problem... the 83 db voice/sound level. *LOL*
Very detail
Love it
Can you make a benchmark video for apps like Notes, TextEdit and Safari
17:20 This!
So i am a bit lost here. Currently using an iMac late 2015…main usage, photography wise with Lightroom and photoshop for photo editing. Where to go Max studio with the Apple M1 Max-chip 10C CPU & 32C GPU or better go for a MacBook Pro 16” …..
HOW HARD must it be to compare the binned GPU speed with the UNbinned one? Is that worth doing, and us anyone besides you capable of doing this? And... What's the point of buying an UNbinned model?
Re:fan … it’s always on though. If you are a recording professional that’s not a good thing. What’s odd is the same spec Mac studio and m1 max mbp the mbp will be silent , the studio will not.
U are the best and always be to me thank u for being here and giving us the best reviews ever God bless u
what a coincidence, didn't the new version of final cut that takes advantage of the mac studio finally JUST come out?
Yup and we tested it and talk about it in this video 👍
12:08 nice visuals of the various modern chips
Would love to see a video about replacing thermal paste/pad on the 14/16 pros what the difference would be when using a better paste then what apple used
I personally would wait until next week post nab for that editing video comparison, I think some company's are holding back until then 🤔🤔
Raytracing --> AMX
Hey guys :)
Nice videos, love them
I dream a Mac Studio gpu or drivers optinization good for Blender like 3090...
Can't wait for June. Well, I'll guess I have to.
I wonder what Apple had in mind when they designed that bonkers cooling system. I'm trying to imagine an SOC that will actually draw that kind of wattage.
