Again, I know there is no such thing as a built in eGPU. I am also expecting that the reader to also understand there is no such thing as a built in eGPU, I used the term as shorthand to describe the function I believe a discrete GPU in the future M…

Some of the answers as to why there isn't a more linear performance with the Studio Ultra maybe answered by looking at the history of AMD's Threadripper. When the Threadripper was first released is was hailed for bringing huge numbers of CPU cores …

@fastasleep Yes I do hark back to the days of Steve Jobs' Apple, IMHO the very best Macs were built under that version of Apple. The Classic Mac Pro cheese-grater of which I own two, one of the first and one of the last, are the pinnacle …

entropys said: why are you doubling down on blender benchmarks when it has been shown quite clearly in a number of spots, with quotes from the developers, that it is a very early work in progress, a miracle it works at all on M1s? let's revi…

fastasleep said: Again, it's documented that they're still working on it and further optimizations are coming. Straight from Apple's dev in the Blender forums: "Optimisation is going to be an ongoing effort, rather than a task we ta…

That's great, it's always nice to read someone else's journey. The CAD/BIM world is one that has avoided me over the years and I know very little about other than the market is dominated by Autodesk products in the UK. I've done my fair share of an…

Incredible speed? Really... Blender 3.1 Benchmark. Blender Benchmark is superior to Cinebench IMHO as it tests multiple scenes with various complexity across CPU and GPU. M1 Ultra - 1132 M1 Max - 706 RTX 3090 5552 I guess Apple wasn't using thi…

melgross said: The Mac is actually very popular in Europe for CAD and particularly architectural work. Says who? Define 'popular' because that couldn't be further from my 25+ yr experience. I've never seen a Mac running CAD and I …

cgWerks said: Thanks for the in-depth background and information! Yeah, when I did a lot of CAD/3D work in the past (I spent over a half-decade heavily into it, then more as a hobby since), I was using Electric Image Animation Syste…

@cgWerks Forgive me for not using quotes. For quite a large chunk of my career 3d rendering was always done on the CPU, I used to have a room stacked with cheap PC render slaves as a render farm to get stuff done. Most 3d artists had the…

melgross said: Your points didn’t go over my head, most are just wrong. Video does use as many CPU cores as there are available. That why there as so many high core count CPU’s in the first place, other that for servers. There are vi…

@melgross Clearly you didn't read my post carefully or the points flew over your head. Developers struggle to make effective use of threading in applications and even when they do there's a hug drop off in effectiveness after a few th…

I hope in future versions Apple rebalances the CPU core vs GPU core mix. I'm sat here thinking a 10 core CPU + 128 GPU core would've been a much better balance for content creation for Mac Studio. So many applications take advantage of the GPU these…

Depending on your productions needs the Mac Studio is either a bargain of a lifetime or not a particularly great deal. For video and 2d creative work I think you'd need your head seen to if you didn't but a Mac Studio either version will run rings a…
