God damn that M1 ULTRA is a beast on paper for the power consumption. It’s what we expected but still I can’t wait to see real world numbers. Edit: and god damn again at it being in something as small as the new Mac Studio. Interested in price... Edit 2: $1999 for the base Mac Studio with M1 MAX. $3999 for the base M1 ULTRA model.
Not cheap, that is only certain. Probably starting at >$7K for M1 Ultra
Will the M1 Ultra GPU be able to compete with high-end discreet GPUs?
The new iPhone SE looks like a really solid phone. The only thing it doesn't really have compared to the 13 is the better camera and the larger form factor / fancier screen tech. And weirdly there doesn't seem to be much in the Android world at that price point anymore.
Huh, M1 ultra is ~2x M1 Max, so: 16 + 4 cores and 128GB RAM And it seems that Apple aren't currently planning on making a bigger chip for now. While that's very fast, I have to say I'm kinda surprised they haven't gone for a bigger and/or modular option. I guess it is pretty Apple to go all-in on a single monolithic design paradigm. EDIT: Oh damn "Just one more product to go: the Mac Pro". I take back what I said. Th…
Apple probably has 0 interest in entering the server market. Anyone who wants a bigger CPU than the M1 ultra would probably be better served using a cloud. My company gives everyone a $2k macbook, but guess what, all our development still happens on our cloud, because laptops will never be able to compile as quickly as build farms.
The Mac Studio looks like a chunky Mac Mini. There I said it. Not sure how modular it is with no internal slots.
On the other hand, if I needed that level of performance, esthetics would no doubt take a back seat.
Edit: I'd be happy to live with the uglier display design, given the extra flexibility in adjusting height and tilt.
