- Apple updates the MAC Battle Oven Studio
- Finally get the M4 Max
- However, the rupture star could be the ultra model M3
Mac Studio fans, prepare for two major updates. Apple is carrying the M4 Max to its power the size of a pint, potentially a significant impulse on the options M2 Max and M2 ultra existing. But Apple is also presenting its most powerful Silicon of Apple, the Ultra M3 as an option in Mac Studio.
I know, it’s a bit confusing. How can the ultra M3 be more powerful than the M4 Max? But according to the specifications that Apple shared, it is, and by a wide margin.
In addition to Apple Silicon updates, the only other remarkable hardware update is the change to high performance Thundolt 5. The design in the 7.7 square inches by an aluminum brick of 3.7 inches of aluminum does not change, as well as the placement of the port and the wide ventilation grill on the back.
However, it is not that any of that is important for the developer audience, 3D animators, designers and professional level musicians of the Mac Studio study.
THE NEW M4 MAX AND M3 ULTRA
The M4 Max, which we saw for the first time in Macbook Pro, begins with a 14 -core CPU but is configurable up to 16 nuclei. The GPU begins in 32 cores, but is configurable up to 40 cores. The Mac Studio will begin with 32 GB of RAM, but can increase it to 128 GB. Apple states that the system will have a Terabyte medium per second of unified memory bandwidth.
The Max Max brings with the updated Apple graphic architecture that presents, among other hardware mesh shadow and the updated Apple ray route engine.
But wait, there is more.
If the M4 Max is not enough for you, Apple released the ultra M3 next to him. Although it is built from a couple of M3 Max chips, M3 ultra specifications are striking. It offers a 32 -core CPU with 24 performance cores and even an 80 -core GPU. You can admit up to 16 storage TB. An ultra mac Studio configured M3 begins with 96 GB of unified memory and can be updated to medium Terabyte.
M4 Max
While I could touch a disconnected Mac study, I could not execute one on my own (it would not have known what to do with all that power).
Apple showed me a MAC studio that executes the M4 Max and another Mac Studio that executes the new ultra M3. In both cases, the performance was impressive.
In the first scenario, a Mac Studio M4 Max connected to a variety of studio screens and peripherals, including a box with 100 TB of storage, a rapid 46 GB SSD, a 48 TB incursion matrix and a PCIE venue. All were connected to Mac Studio through the new high -speed Thunderbolt 5 ports.
The box was silently executing Autodesk Flame, a native Silicon Apple application that manages VFX in real time and color classification. They showed us how the Mac Studio could handle dozens of layers and thousands of elements for a scene of people running down a street. We quickly add new buildings, lighting and atmosphere. Each task was fast and, it seemed, effortlessly for the Mac Studio and its M4 Max chip.
Mac Studio with M3 Ultra and Cyberpunk 2077
The Mac Studio with the new M3 Ultra connected to a 6K study screen and running Cinema 4D, another native application of Silicon Apple.
On the screen there was a more or less rendered beach scene. Instead of adding thousands of pieces of foliage by hand, we use LM Studio and local LLM to request that you write a Python script to put 1,000 Ficus plants on the scene. He did it, and then we rendered the scene using red displacement in about 12 seconds.
Running behind this was a pre -launch of Cyberpunk 2077, which will reach the MAC in 2025.
It seemed splendid on the screen. The images were acute, the reflexes were rich and convincing, just like atmospheres like fog. The game we saw was based on the native ray capabilities of M3 ultra, but Cyberpunk 2077 will admit the most powerful route tracking when sent in the MAC.
The price of energy is not cheap. The M4 Max Mac Studio with 36 GB of memory will begin in $ 1999, and the Mac Studio with the Ultra M3 and 96 GB of unified memory will begin at $ 3,999.
Both systems are at anticipated order now and are sent on March 12.
