Apple introduced a fresh Mac Studio. It resembles the Mac Studio from the previous year so much that I had to label the two units in our office with Post-it notes to tell them apart.
It is still a pro-level workstation that is remarkably small and looks like Apple. Additionally, it is still essentially not upgradeable at all, so you must be very careful while making your buy. It contains essentially the same connectors as the previous model.
There are a few more adjustments. The M1 Ultra could handle up to four 6K monitors and one 4K panel, whereas the M2 Ultra can accept eight 4K, six 6K, or three 8K owing to an updated HDMI connector. This year’s Studio supports Bluetooth 5.3 while last year’s was 5.0. The CPU within, though, makes the largest impact.
Mac Studio Has A New Improved Model
The M1 Max or the M1 Ultra, which is simply two M1 Maxes stapled together, may be configured with last year’s Studio. The M2 Max and the M2 Ultra, which are two M2 Maxes joined together, have replaced the Studio this year. The name of these has changed, as shown by the addition of one to the number.
But this is my first glimpse at Apple’s new M2 Ultra chip, and it’s in a case that will showcase it to the utmost of its abilities. So I performed a number of benchmarks to evaluate its performance. Sadly, I’m not sure how much the M2 Ultra’s faster acceleration compared to its predecessor will matter.
