What is Mac Studio?
It seems that Apple is cut up out a new Studio product category design for professionals who are based in studios . The Studio name is hence designed , we assume , to indicate that this is a equipment for creative pros , not just someone who need pro features .
Apple promises “ outrageous operation , extensive connectivity and new capacity in an improbably thickset shape ” and say it will “ transmute any space into a studio apartment ” .
Mac Studio design
The Mac Studio remind us of a cross between the Mac mini , the G4 Cube and the 2013 Mac Pro . It ’s also similar to the Apple TV when it first arrived .
As you may see from the image above it measures a thickset 3.7 in by 7.7 in .
Ian Zelbo tweet ( on 7 March 2022 ) what he claimed to be images of this new Mac Studio – as well as an image of the new proctor that could make it alongside it . We have to say he was spot on .

Mac Studio spec
We expected that Apple was going to do something dumfounding with the M1 Max to reach an even faster Mac , but the answer is withal moderately astonishing .
The expectation was that the unexampled desktop for originative pros would combine either two M1 Pro or two M1 Max , give up the new Macs to volunteer twice as many C.P.U. cores and double as many graphics cores , and twice as much Aries the Ram . This is essentially what Apple has done , although not in such simplistic term .
Processor
The M1 Max offers a 10 - core C.P.U. ( just as the M1 Pro does ) . The M1 Ultra on the other hand can double this up and achieve a 20 - center CPU with 16 gamey performance Congress of Racial Equality and 4 high efficiency core .
For more info about the new processor readEverything you postulate to love about Apple ’s M1 Pro , M1 Max and M1 Ultra chips .
Graphics
Until now the M1 Max was Apple ’s master GPU offering . The M1 Max GPU volunteer up to 32 - cores ( although there is also a 24 - core option , which is being used as standard here ) .
The Ultra will combine two M1 Max to achieve twice as many GPU inwardness . So a 64 - meat GPU is potential .
With such features could this be consider a Mac Pro miniskirt . Do we still postulate a Mac Pro ? Read aboutApple ’s plan for the Mac Pro .
RAM
The M1 Max chip can back up 64 GB RAM , so , with by double it up with the M1 Ultra Apple is capable to proffer twice that much RAM . This entail 128 GB RAM in a Mac Studio is possible .
Apple ’s chips apply a unified memory computer architecture , which ensures that all components – be it the artwork unit , the main central processing unit or the various ancillary processors – have immediate access to the same RAM . As a result loss of performance due to the reshaping of memory accession can not occur .
Cooling
Inside the Mac Studio enclosure is a thermal system designed to keep things cool and quiet . Part of the design of the Mac Studio is tons of flyspeck perforations , a blower pulls air into the system through these hole , and then the aviation moves over the element cool down them while being guide to a thermal faculty .
Apple claims that the sound from this is “ so minimal for most work load you ’ll hardly hear it ” . Hopefully that will be subdued enough for sound engineers and the like .
Ports & Peripherals
It ’s no surprise that the Mac Studio boast a good collecting of ports .
you may see some of the ports in the image above – but there are even more on the front , including a posting reader .
Like the Mac mini and the 24 in iMac the Mac Studio also offers USB-3 ports , which is beneficial for those with previous devices , and also there is an HDMI 2.0 interface .
you’re able to also expect 802.11ac Wi‑Fi and the option for 10Gb Ethernet in the new model .
It ’s not clear if Apple will send a keyboard and mouse with the Mac Studio . Apple does n’t ship the Mac miniskirt with an Apple keyboard .
