the Xcode graph at 4:53 is confusing.. its shows 1:09 vs 0:67, which is a tad confusing, because 0:67 is really 1:07 which is basically identical to 1:09. Or did they mean to write 109 vs 67 (without the colons)? Because, if so, that would be a significant difference.
I caught that too. Really confusing.
Ignoring the 0:67 which is clearly wrong, the proportion of the bars is 1.7 to 1, which yields 41 seconds for the Ultra.
Would LOVE some After Effects and Premiere testing. As others have noted, export times are great indicators of overall power, but doing some testing in a timeline/sequence with background tasks or lots of effects to process would be a great real-world use test. Loved the vid last cycle when you threw those Premiere comparisons in...
Engineer here. There is a good reason why scaling is never linear, and that the Ultra only doubled performance on heavy load. Basically, it comes down to the size and number of the data blocks passed to cores when using multiple cores and what size makes up a dividable core task. I worked for a company call Inspex for years as a semi-conductor engineer. Basically, it looks like the block size passed to a core in Apple Silicon is pretty large and runs out of blocks to serve to cores pretty quickly. Seems like they made it efficient for the number of max cores and not the ultra cores. Not a bad thing. It just means that all the blocks are pretty much parsed out before it needs the extra cores unless there are A LOT of blocks that need to be processed. There is actually processing lag if you optimize a chip to break data into smaller blocks to pass to more cores because A. You don't really know how much time a black takes and you may end up having some cores wait too long for a single demanding block to finish, or B. There is data assembly lag.. meaning, the time it takes to reassemble the blocks of 12 cores is meaningfully less than the time it take to reassemble the blocks sent to 24 cores. More block to more cores may actually be slower than less blocks to fewer cores for smaller black counts. I am thinking they looked at the average potential block size for tasks apple customers will likely have... Also, the weakness of the way the chips are attached means you cannot change block processing parameters. It's hardware fixed in Silicon. When you glue 2 chips together, you get what you get. There is a controller that manages traffic to and from a core. Differences in this controller faced the same issues on Intel and AMD, who use slightly different hard coded core allocation for different reasons making one better for large block processing and others for smaller block processing. Hope that makes sense. I tried not to get too technical.
Was it not linear on graphics?
The analogy I like to use in cases like this is the challenge of keeping a V12 engine fueled. As the engine needs more fuel for higher RPMs, you need to increase the fuel pressure to ensure that all the cylinders get a full charge. If the system is unable to pump enough fuel from the tank, bubbles form in the system, or fuel pressure is variable, then you're going to see a loss of power. Possibly even problems like sputtering where the engine will run *worse* at higher RPMs.
It's the same problem with multi-core issues. If you can't keep a steady stream of blocks to be processed, the CPU will sputter and performance will fall off a cliff.
HaHa Very funny. I bet Orange Works Inc. of Silicon Valley just luvs comments like this smashing their @@thewiirocks Apple Babies into AppleSauce! 😎😎
Ok dudes. The Figma Ads are starting to become really obvious throughout all of your videos…. I mean at least switch out the tag line. Let it be known. Figma mention: Paid Ad.
Correct
I know it might sound weird but how about a comparison between m2 mac mini vs m2 ultra mac studio. Both in the base version. Maybe with the addition of performance to cost ratio. Would love to see the video.
I have doubts about the Logic Pro benchmark, are you sure you ran both machines on a 1024 buffer as the instructions suggest? It seems crazy to see such a difference and also that my basic M1 Pro mbp does more tracks that M2 max Mac Studio. Could you please check? Thanks
I've never heard you say that playing back 8K footage from the RED camera was an issue on any Mac silicone base system previously - but you stated it was *not* an issue here. I know for a fact that 8K canon footage chokes my MacBook Pro M1 system (16 inch). I would really like to know how these systems handle that footage.
Most of the things he says are biased towards apple, which makes comparing difficult
@@ahyaan2552 Max stands accused of some faint praise and quite a lot of whinging....not exactly biased towards Apple
RED's codec is very different than the awful, power hungry codec Canon uses for their 8K files. R3D files run very smooth comparatively.
This specific case is color graded 8K Red in a full 8K timeline at full-quality playback. The M2 Ultra also plays back 8K Canon RAW with a lut as well!
@@MaxTechOfficial Would love to see a YT Short showing that 👀 My guess is more ppl are dealing with R5 8k footage than RED, given that it's a prosumer camera.
Great video but while export specs for FCPX etc are great , I already know they're fast. What really interests me as an editor on all three of the major systems (FCPX, Resolve & Premiere) is how well do these actually handle editing... esp with effects like CC, text, plugins etc. Does it hang up or does it play smooth like butter. How does it handle codecs like XAVC-I etc? Do I still need to make proxies if I'm going to be working with multiple plug ins/effects etc. At this point, a fast export is a given and isn't as important as smooth reliable editing. Any thoughts/info? Thanks for all the info!!!
Something I would be interested to see is to run all of the benchmarks side to side or progressively and find where does each processor starts to lag.
To expect double the performance is not necessarily realistic nor a good thing. I would expect the ultra to excel at parallel tasks running at the same time (because of the increase in core count) without dropping too much performance (probably because of power limitations). I would recommend something like the studio with the ultra in case you need to open several apps at the same time and work on heavy things in parallel.
Thank you for being the first person to test logic pro, been waiting a while!
Thanks guys. Just purchased the M2 Max Mac Studio. This channel gave me the best info between it, the Mac mini pro, and the Ultra
We're glad to hear and very happy that we helped you out! Thank you for your membership!
Do you think the ultra will get longer software support from apple or do you expect them to discontinue support based on chip generation?
Great comparison video, would be great if you can include on your tests Topaz Video AI and compare if makes any difference the number of neural cores on different setups. Cheers!
Out of curiosity, would love to see these two machines against the M1 Max Mac Studio and the M1 Max Ultra Mac Studio.
Thanks again, always find these interesting. Blessings
Best reviewer I’ve seen on TH-cam, and you saved me some money. Thank you!
needed this review to make my decision for video editing
You just saved me a lot of money! I appreciate you!
Finally! I've been waiting for this video for a week!
I would really like it if you have a virtual machine or two running while you do some of these tests. A lot of developers have a virtual machine for a server or iOS simulator running while they develop. Would be great to know if those affect the performance between the max and ultra.
The Xcode times were strange. Is it fair to say that the 0:67 timing is the same as saying 1:07 ? That would show the times for both systems to be very close, correct? Thanks
Hey Max, could you tell me how you were able to get the BMW test for blender? I've looked _everywhere_ to download this to test my Mac, and I can't find it!
Great video!
I recently bought M2 Max studio 2023 , I used it for editing in Final Cut Pro and is working well for me. The cpu is definitely a good buy from my review. I added external memory too.
I do a lot of 3D modeling in blender & It’s time for me to upgrade my Mac, should I get the last Mac intel machine and pair it with an nvidea eGPU and save a bundle or spend a lot more to get the new m2 max studio?
Hey Max, always appreciate your reviews! Did you test Canon RAW 8K? That’s what we shoot. It’d be great to find out how these two Macs handle it. Not having to create proxies would be amazing. Thanks 🙏
Would love to see an m2 max vs m1 max base review please, Max and Vadim!
Thank you!! That was really helpful and saves me a good amount of money. 🥳
My old MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip has a similarly fast SSD as the M2 Ultra. I'm glad to have it.
What tests are Neural Engine bound? It would be interesting to see how the NE performance scales.
What's an unbined chip and is it worth the upgrade at least on the base model?
How is the M2 Ultra with Stable Diffusion? Wondering if it would run SD proper, or whether I'd be better off getting a high end PC with a RTX 4090...
Please do Music Production benchmarks on all of these!
Thanks for this video. Very helpful.
Fantastic Video! I'm coming here as a newly full time music & content creator looking to take his business to the next level **woot woot** and this video helped A TON!!!!! Even though I am far from a tech geek, I found that I was able to follow along with a lot of the topics discussed here. Especially the section on Logic, I don't see me or my clients budget being able to afford a 300+ track composition lmao! Also the comparison for video was very easily digestible in terms of seeing why the extra money wasn't worth it!
So thank you SO MUCH for a great video
I hope the benchmarks and thermals was done BEFORE tearing it apart. Just to get a feeling on the thermal paste that come from stock. That said. I thank the fact that you showed the processors size difference.
You won’t see much difference in todays task. But 3-5 years down the line the performance difference should be more. You should do a video on how m1 ultra vs M1 Max later on the year with more rigorous testing on newer and more resource demanding task and see how the difference are as time goes on.
thank you very much for this fantastic review, please, which configuration would you suggest for logic pro multiple vst and plugin, and little video editing? also, I'm working currently on I mac pro 2019, which monitor would you take? thanks
Strange that you got the same results over the two machines for Davinci Resolve Noise Reduciton, Tyler Stalman clearly showcased that the M2 Max struggled to keep up with live / 24FPS playback, and the M2 Ultra was the only machine that was able to do this. Even citing the M1 Ultra not being able to keep up.
I think with a grade, noise reduction, and any other node elements, the Max would struggle big time
So is the Xcode benchmark difference 2 seconds? Because the chart had 0:67 and 1:09 which is confusing
Thank you. This is what I exactly want to know.
Great Video as always. But I don’t quite agree with your final verdict . Have a look in timeline performance with user cache or smart cache on in DaVinci Resolve. Many clips with effects and color grading are constantly rendered in background. This is significantly faster with ultra. Timeline performance is more important than export times.
Is that so with after effects, too?
@@ekarron4646I used to use it a few years ago and it didn’t, but it might of changed since it’s been like 4 years since I last used it
I would also like to add that you compare 512 gb vs 1 tb. Every professional would at least buy 1 tb. If I compare the configurations with prices in Germany you have 3089 Euros vs 4800 Euros. Yea it is more expensive but far away from being double the price. This is click bait title.
Been waiting for this comparison. Looking to buy soon.
Very complete review, guys! You should make a puget benchmark for After Effects.
Is there a binned vs unbinned test coming for the M2 Ultra and the M2 Max?
hey thanks for the video , would be great if you could do some machine learning or deep learning tests
Would love to see how both deals with Davinci Resolve relight & heavy coloring/tracking & a bunch of fx. Need to know how both digest it.
The R3D comparison piqued my interest - are you able to perform the same benchmarks with the CODEX HDE for •offloading• from ARRI ALEXA family of cameras, like the Mini LF for ALEXA 35?
Thanks for the video, any suggestions for a monitor for this Mac, 4K video editing around £500?, thanks in advance all
Regarding your resolve noise reduction test. How about making a 60fps timeline, or even 120. Just to see where the hardware chokes out and not both being 24 frames. It would be more clear for those editing 30 or even 60 fps content.
Which one should I go for if I often stack motion VFX effects and want smooth playback?
Very helpful thanks
I'd love to see a poll of your viewers to see how many are video editors vs designers vs software engineers. I'm glad you added Xcode Benchmark back in but I wonder whether you'd find that the % of software engineers would make it worth showing more programming tests.
Im considering the M2 Max Studio with 32GB RAM instead of 64 for video work. Did you do a real world comparison for that?
On CPU multicore performance, you need something is embarrassingly parallel workloads. These things are expected to be use by a professional so use software like them and they would likely have software to ingest a lot of those cores. My field uses such multicore usage. I'm not a radio astronomer guy but you can use AIPS or CASA to determine the multicore workload.
And also, again, you need to use the Moana scene for GPU testing. That scene is large and heavy enough to see if there is any difference.
I wonder if you could get a sense of how energy efficient a Mac is by the thickness of its power cable. I was thinking the magsafe ones compared to the one pictured in this video.
Is the binned vs unbinned M2 Ultra video out yet? I've been desparately waiting to watch it as I need to decide ASAP. Could you please tell me at least when to expect it be out, sir? That would be awesome, thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🎉❤
Yes that is the comparison I'm also looking forward to too!
I have watched several of your videos and I have been unable to find the answer that I need .
I’m sure either Mac studio would be fine but here’s my question . Have you ever used the text overlays by Pixel film studios.
I have a late 2017 iMac Pro what is 128 gigs of ram and it is just freezing up on these three dimensional overlay fonts.
So I was trying to decide if I should get the max or the ultra and I was just hoping that you would perform some test where there would be an extreme memory usage upon rendering.
Everything I use an final cut pro a has to render and that’s the problem I’m running into the rendering is taking forever and so I’m going to buy one of these I’m just not sure which one.
I watch your videos because you do an extremely good job, better then the other reviewers as far as I’m concerned
MacBook Pro M2 Max vs Mac Studio M2 Max comparison and heat throttling analysis, please!
What about running virtual machines? What would be the delta between Max & Ultra?
What happened with Xcode graph? 0:67 is 1:07. Or is it a typo and it’s 0:57 actually?
Insane to be able to keep these processor at such low temperature, with idle fans 😮
Guess the Xcode benchmark should be 1:09 and 0:47? (Not 0:67)
This is pretty much the only one I am interested in, so got a bit confused 😊
yeah I am confused by that too. I wonder if it meant 109 seconds vs 67 seconds? That would be a significant difference. But if they meant 0:67 as in 1:07, then that's not a meaningful difference at all.
Nice comparison, thanks. However, it really does depend on what you use the Studio for. I've found that Fusion in DaVinci Resolve is still sluggish on the base M2 Max. Export times aren't an issue. But real-time editing and compositing was underwhelming. Even rendering compositions in place still happens at below 10fps...just like my M1 Mini! If you want super smooth compositing the base M2 Max doesn't cut it...even with proxies etc. enabled.
Did you try that on an M2 Ultra?(:
@@NirHason No, I didn't try an M2 Ultra....double the price. I've since settled on an M2 Max with 64GB RAM. The extra memory has helped a lot. Basically, Resolve seems to soak up as much RAM as you can give it, at least in my experience.
What if you constantly work with 15-60 gig files in photoshop? Ultra 128 ram? 1 TB?
I am quite confident that the potential buyers (WFM content creators, small video shops etc) are fully aware of what Mac Studio options is the best match for the work they do. Price is always a consideration but in relative terms, the performance-for-dollar of a 2023 Apple Silicon Mac is a ridiculously good bargain compared to ANY previous generation of Intel Mac. Remember, those Intel "pro-sumer" Macs (when adjusted for inflation) were at least as expensive with far less performance. Heck, I bought a base M1 Mini in early 2021 to replace my daily driver 2017 i7 iMac and can't foresee upgrading again for at least another 2 years...easy. I look forward to the bargains available as the used/refurb Apple Silicon "market" grows over the next couple of years.
You would be surprised how many pros asked us for this specific video because they were unsure which one to buy..
If they know, the reason they know is articles and videos like this that put them through their paces
@@MaxTechOfficial I agree with Max here. I would be shocked if Apple engineers did not constantly benchmark their silicon through development and production. They probably run internal benchmarks around the clock in controlled environments, where they change room temperature and humidity and monitor how the benchmarks respond. Apple engineers would do this because they don't know for sure. If Apple engineers benchmark in order to know, then there are no pros out there who can know without benchmarks.
These videos also keep Apple accountable and inform the consumer, saving us from being ripped off. Many blessings to MaxTech's household.
The main issue for me is to buy the best machine available and keep it for 5-6 years. Obviously, there will be an M3, M4, etc. in the next few years.
@@MaxTechOfficial hmmmm….that is interesting
I do get that the you used the 2 barebone versions of the Products... but to compare it "Apples to Apples" it would have made sense to have an upgraded version as well of the Pro chip where it matches the Ram and the SSD to see what diffrence those 2 components make and what is the diffrence in the CPU itself. Like this there are too many variables
Is it worth it for professional photo editing? I understand the export is faster but what about the editing itself with Lightroom?
In the Xcode benchmark the values are probably wrong. 0.67 and 1.09 are just 2 seconds of difference.
I was wondering about the Xcode times also. I'm guessing it should be 1:07 and 1:09 minutes.
@@a4e69636b idk, if so the difference would be meaningless
I think you just saved me a lot of money. And I primarily need CPU performance for driving a MIDI light show, and over 100 stage lights and each stage like sometimes having up to 18 individual channels, my M1 chip is not able to handle firing that much at one time. I know the max chip could handle it, we also have a five camera shoot in black magic raw, so I was wondering whether or not I should get the ultra for the video capabilities. Like I said, I think you just save me $2000.
How fast will the M3 ultra be? soon be reaching real time video render soon.
Adobe PugetBench would be interessing, also for video editors playback and timeline scroling with complex projects, a lot of rushs, effects and colorgrading on redraw 8k, braw 6k or h265 would be interessing.
It would be interesting to throw in a decent spec i9/4090 PC in to the mix. Ultra for Logic sounds great but, man, the cost for the performance is difficult to justify.
A Mac Studio could easily fit in your backpack, and take it anywhere as you go. Good luck doing that with your RTX 4090.
@@rigolettofranc It's a desktop machine. For use in a desktop situation. ie it "should" be about performance 1st. Mobility is for laptops.
Thanks for this. I got the Max and was wondering how the Ultra would compare for the work that I do (Adobe PS, AE and PR) . This put my mind at rest that I made the right call and don't need the Ultra.
If you use Ae, can you give us your comments? I'm thinking of buying a Max Studio but I haven't decided yet, I mainly use Ae
great reveiew, made my mind up!
I'm at that decision trying to replace a 2018 iMac Pro which has always been terrible video machine for me. I edit in Premiere, nothing super crazy. This video is very helpful.
Thanks 😊! Any chance to build a compare using ML apps?
I know you can’t test everything but it would be great to test a really heavy photoshop illustration and really heavy indesign file with a lot of spreads. I can chew through a tone of memory using indesign and photoshop in tandem.
I made the same decision when I purchased my M1 Studio Max a year ago March, the performance difference just wasn't worth the extra $2K.
Love your channel. To answer your question; It is if you need it, it isn't if you don't. That said I'd add the 1TB SSD upgrade to the Max. I'd also add, for those on the fence, the next M3 Max will outperform or be close to the M2 Ultra. In the words of Kurt Vonnegut, "So it goes." Disclosure, owner of several Apple Dealerships.
How many seconds you have in a minute at 4:54?
Thanks Max for another brilliant video on the new M2 Mac Studio. Would love to see some comparisons between the previous gen M1 Ultra Mac Studio with M2 Max Mac Studio. From Apple's charts on the performance comparison they show that M1 Ultra outperforms M2 Max in some areas, and some people may be eyeing M1 Ultra Mac Studio in the refurbished/2nd-hand markets
I’d love that comparison, too. I’m
exactly at that decision point and don’t know what would make more sense
Would be interested in seeing the unbinned M2 Max vs the binned M2 Ultra. Does having 38 GPU cores ever beat having 30+30 GPU cores? How close is it in some of these tests?
I'd like to see a test where they compare all four of the M2 Studio versions
@@PerNormanSpygg NEVER - we have to spend the next 6 months going over video by video until the content is dry

I don't get the ssd speeds on the M2 Max version.... My base M1 Max MacBook Pro gets 6-7mbs read write on its 512gb ssd... Why 2 years later do they go backwards?
Apple now uses 256gb nand chips
Instead of the 128gb ones nand chips for the m1 family
probably costs
I'll be upgrading from a mid 2012 Pro. I'm thinking that the Mac Max should be just fine. Thanks for the video!
Is M3 chips really going to have ray tracing hardware? It should right because competitors already have it and it is one of the big thing nowadays
what is gaming performance ?
xcode benchmark slide is weird.. 0min 67 sec ??? doesn't add up.
Much awaited video. Thanks for the upload!
I’m thinking about upgrading to an ultra from an intel iMac which just can’t handle the new array of files from a Z9 - raw, 8k etc and these files give you so much freedom in post. Just a two day shoot creates at least 2TB by the time everything is rendered in FCP. It strikes me that cameras will continue to improve so I need something that has some kind of future proofing. Added to this, by the time you have some clients files that you need at all times it’s the SSD that’s a really important consideration. If you have two or three project on the go at any one time 4Tb doesn’t go very far because you need some headroom. Any thoughts from video makers/editors?
Don’t buy this if you’re gonna use the internal storage that heavily, even with 8TB spec. But if you insist, buy the 24c60gpu 192GB 1TB spec but use TB4 external nvmes’ for your editing/storage, never use the internal one. Remember the storage is fused, once you surpassed the P/E cycle or TBW of the storage you’ll end up with a non working useless as a brick machine since the bios firmware is in the nand.
@@PwningGerZWait -- explain that again. I was ordering the 8TB internal as well in am M2 Ultra MS.
Amazing, I spent hours searching for this exact information. I was already leaning toward the M2 Max anyway, but I almost always buy top of the line, because I don't buy often. I really want an M4, but I need something now (my 2017 imac pro is showing its age and had an odd failure the other day). Now I just need to decide if bumping up the memory, GPU, and hard drive on the M2 max will be getting so close to the base M2 ultra model that I might as well go to the ultra for the price difference.
I’m still on M1 Pro and I make iPhone apps with Xcode. Having no issues at all. I say don’t upgrade until you noticeably start to feel a slow down or need the horsepower. Don’t upgrade just to do it.
I own Apple stock so do not listen to this person. BUY BUY BUY
can you do a comparison between M1 ULTRA vs M2 Max
Are these both standard?
Max or ultra for hobbies photography?
Software has to be optimized. If so, you get up to 2x speed on the Ultra. Which justifies the price. Which is double.
Plus, longevity. You can technically have it twice as long.
Max, you have a xCode performance "thing", it is time to have a ML performance "thing", maybe an "Apple Core ML demo run between the different Mac Studio/MacPro models??
I would have liked the 2200$ vs 4000$ max studios, to see if it’s worth 1800$ more for ultra

What does Neural Engine really do, can they not dedicate or change the Neural Engine to Gaming graphics performance.
I love your videos, but could you please update the video export section of your videos. At the speed you’re getting now for example 4K five minute video exporting in less than a minute. Unless for whatever reason, the next generation of tip chips takes longer than that this does not matter anymore to most people. I’d much rather be interested in what a 10 minute or average eight minute or 15 minute 4K video takes to export. On top of that, would I really want to see is HEVC 10 bit HLG or HDRPQ export times. Those are still taking much longer than an hour to export on M1 Pro for an eight minute video.
