Their pricing for 4K was a major reason I ditched them. I also have limited TV time so focus on quality - like AppleTV and Disney+.

This case look slike a really good buy for the money!!

Space Gray?  That’ll be the Mac Pro version when it arrives - but yes Space Gray is nicer than Silver imho.

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 this benchmark suite for their performance graphs.

It’s also very biased against Apple Silicon as other GPUs prefer small tiles but ASi prefers larger tiles.

Better to compare Redshift rendering times imho.

So it looks like a Studio with an M1 Max configured same as a MBP is £1000 cheaper, so that £1000 gets you a very nice screen and portability.

I do wonder if an M1 Max in a Studio will perform better than an M1 Max in a MBP due to being able to be fed more watts.. 

It’s nice that there is a 20 CPU core option with 48 GPU cores for those of us more concerned with CPU performance - going from 48 GPU cores to 64 GPU cores seems pricey.

We all knew that Apple Silicon was going to put an end to the cheap RAM options we had in old iMacs.

I think the release of these new Macs explains why the M1 Max chips (and thereby MBPs) have been so constrained in recent months.

Needed: way to use an old 27-inch iMac as a display for the Mac Studio. 

Luna Display - which now supports 5k iMacs - I’m currently using a 2015 iMac 5k Retina on an M1 Mini (only 45khz though).
