- A new reference Geekbench 6 suggests the ultra M3 for the Mac Studio that is only a little faster than the M4 Max
- The reference point reveals the supposed performance leaders of 8% ultra in multiple cores processes over the M4 Max
- Its 80 -core GPU can be the highlight, specifically for games
Apple has finally introduced a new ultra chip, not yet for its recent M4 line, but for the M3 family. The new Mac Studio is scheduled for the launch on March 12, with configurations using both the M4 Max and the new Ultra M3, however, the latter can be a slightly stronger processor, at least in some way.
As reported by 9to5Mac, a reference point Geekbench 6 early from the new M3 ultra chip suggests it It can be just 8% faster than the M4 Max in multiple nuclei yield while it is 20% slower in the performance of a single nucleus. The reference point indicates that this is the high -end configuration of the next M3 Max Mac Studio (uses a 32 -core CPU and an 80 core GPU).
It is important to keep in mind that the comparison made here is with the M4 MAX of Macbook Pro, with its high -end configuration using a 16 -core CPU and a 40 -core GPU. While we should expect more reference points when the Mac Studio is launched, it seems that the ultra M3 profits on the powerful M4 chip could be present in their graphic processes, specifically the games.
The high -end M4 MAX model (with 1 TB storage and 128 GB of unified memory) is available for an anticipated order to $ 3,699.00 / £ 3,799.00 / AU $ 6,049.00, while the best M3 Ultra model (using 1TB storage and 96 GB of unified memory) is available for an order for a order per pre -order at $ 5,499.00 / £ 5,699.00 / Aut $ 9.00.
Based on the early reference point (which must be taken with a salt grain), the ultra M3 may not be the ideal option between the two chips for the CPU processes (considering the alleged minor elevation and the significant gap in prices), but it should be correctly in the alley for players, and that can end up justifying its high cost.
This could be Mac’s best game experience so far …
While many Apple Mac devices have provided hardware capable for excellent game performance, it seems that M3 Ultra Mac Studio can be the best so far.
An 80 core GPU is an exceptional amount dedicated to graphic processing (and its price does not surprise me in the least), which means that it should be able to go through demanding games such as Cyberpunk 2077. That does not mean that the CPU and unified memory do not matter here, but it is safe to suggest that the GPU will do heavy work for players.
Now everything is fine that players have a monster GPU at their disposal, but there is more to do for Mac games: games are often optimized for Microsoft’s Windows operating system and games do not reach the first day of Mac devices.
The addition of titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 It is a great sign of the rapid growth of the Mac Game Library, and I hope that the Ultra M3 is the way Apple tells us that the games are now one of its main approaches.
