You might not like it, i don't know i mean like friends, but this is i mean we could throw them away when we're done with them, but still because otherwise we can't can't make content. You know what i'm saying peak performance looks like and it is chunky. Yeah kind of reminds me a stubby g4 cube. The mac, studio and matching studio display are the two latest announcements out of apple and of everything they announced today, they're easily the most exciting, both powered by apple silicon they're, set to usher in a new era of performance for apple enthusiasts.

But the way apple's gone about this makes things so much more complicated, unlike our sponsor ridge wallet, thanks to ridge wallet for sponsoring today's video enjoying the ride i enjoy my the mac pro would become when apple started, the transition to apple silicon, an entirely unexpandable design With fully solder components and a mac mini enclosure, they decided to make a little taller than usual cooled by two beefy fans that pull air up through the bottom of the chassis. Guys. How hard is it to to add one slot or a slot per piece of whatever the is in there so because people could add something or people can modify or swap things out? How hard is it see and out to the rear? Grill, something apple says, is nearly silent. There's actually a lot going for this design.

For starters, you get 10 gigabit ethernet as standard. Thank you apple. Now the rest of the rear, i o is rearranged but looks basically the same as the intel mac mini with a high impedance pro audio output. That, i suspect, is the same as on the new macbook pros turn it around, however, and you'll see that, oh, my god, finally acquiesce a jack for headphones guys, let's get something new facing connectors: two usb type-c 10 gigabit ports and an sdxc reader.

While support for the brand new sd express format would have been nice to see as a future proofing measure, what we're getting tracks with the larger macbook pros, if you pick up an m1 ultra equipped mac studio, those type c ports up front turn into thunderbolt ports. Wait m1 ultra yeah turns out apple's been holding out on us and their m1 max chips had an unused interconnect called ultra fusion. That allows for a chiplet style connection between two m1 maxes to make up an m1 ultra. The effective result is a single soc.

As far as software is concerned and gives a metric but load of cpu and gpu cores double the already very impressive media engine on the m1 max and twice the maximum memory capacity at 800 gigabytes per second, that is faster memory than the gddr6x that is used On nvidia's rtx, 3080 and 3090 - oh my god that is pretty amazing and even more amazing. Is the memory itself isn't even clocked faster there's just that many more channels to work with. If you believe what apple has to say, the m1 ultra is up to 60. Faster than the mac pro equipped with 28 xeon w cores and 80 faster than that machine's fastest gpu, the radeon w6900x, they still sell those by the way something about those claims, though it doesn't really pass.

The sniff test. Part of that claim is that it's also 90 faster than a 16 core desktop cpu, while drawing 100 watts less power. You might think that's referring to the only current 16 core desktop cpu, the ryzen 9 5950x. But in fact they are talking about the core.

I9. 12900K, which is an 8 plus 8 core cpu, with performance and efficiency cores much like apple silicon. What's more max turbo power on the 12 900 k is 241 watts, so we can surmise based on apple's own data, that the m1 ultra draws around 140 watts, which is still a lot of watts. The 12 900 k is tdp is 125 watts and i can guarantee you m1 ultra doesn't draw just 25 watts.

That's the cpu. 128 gigs of unified memory offers an unprecedented amount of potential vram to the channel. I use amd when outlet apple's right in that the biggest workstation card on the market right now, the rtx a6000 caps out of the meager 48 gigs sure you can connect multiple a6000s together via envy link. But having that much memory in a single package is a significant feather in apple's cap they're, also making some interesting claims about beating the highest end.

Discrete people usually also using 200 watts less power, though the footnote says they're talking about the rtx 3090 using select industry standard benchmarks. So take from that what you will? No, i expect performance guys we'll stop using that decent either way, but it's very possible. This specific claim leans on the media engine, as apple has done in the past and they're not talking about raw compute performance. I'd like to be wrong, though speaking of the doubled up.

Media engine is now capable of running 18. Simultaneous 8k prores 422 streams. So it really does sound like an ideal workstation for most professionals, especially as software support comes online, like with blender 3.1 you'll, be able to make use of it too up to four pro display xdrs and a 4k hdmi device simultaneously yeah. That is guys how to even operate 8k, though, how do you operate that? Because i bought uh uh, we had a sponsor for i'm not going to talk about the sponsor, but uh.

They gave us some monitors that are, there were 4k okay and i used it for the tournament, and i gave my brother and i i never use it again. The reason why that is is um, everything is downscaled and the computer would not upscale anything. It was just i couldn't see. The cursor than apple has ever officially supported storage doesn't look expandable, it is unfixable.

I googled it because i talked to a product. I talked to product lead or some about it. Okay, like guys, how do you and video like uh, you can't, however, so you'll need to add over two thousand dollars: two thousand dollars for eight terabytes. If you don't want external storage, a fact made worse by recent revelations that apple's ssd performance isn't as good as they claim it is they're, cheating and in the process.

If an unexpected scale layout didn't fix it. Things were still about the bottom and whatnot shutdown occurs. The onboard battery in a macbook makes this a non-issue but on a stationary machine plugged into wall power. Well make sure that you combine the max studio with a battery backup.

That'll, add to the already high price tag for the m1 ultra variant. But if you take apple at their word, it's the most powerful machine you can buy for the money get subscribed, because we are definitely putting that claim to the test. You might also want to combine the mac studio with the new studio. Display apple certainly wants you to.

The panel itself seems suspiciously similar to the existing lg ultrafine 5k, with a slight bump in peak brightness and 10 gig type c ports instead of 5 gig, well, similar power delivery capabilities to the recent models. So it seems like a bit of a cop-out until you get under the hood from ltdstore.com. Hey got it in there. What makes the studio display special aside from the aluminum and glass construction? Is the a13 bionic chip powering a plethora of onboarding? I, like i, like that they were boasting that the the display can can adjust 30 degrees, aluminum and glass construction using the a13 chip powering a platform.

I'm very thankful. It's got a very similar speaker array on paper to the 24 inch m1 imac, complete with spatial audio, a 3 mic array, presumably with noise suppression and an integrated 12 megapixel facetime camera capable of center stage, which means you can finally use center stage on a mac. Like the one place, it makes a lot of sense, not to mention the a13 provides the image signal. Processing we've come with anything.

That means that the mac itself doesn't need to do any of the work, freeing up the neural engine from other tests. It even makes these the studio display. Xdr comes with three mounting options: a 30 degree tilt adjustable stand a pro display, xdr like stand, except without rotation support and an ugly vase amount. Although it looks like you need to choose what you want out of the factory, because, unlike the pro display xdr there, isn't a user accessible mounting mechanism on the display itself.

Thankfully, the vasa mount and tilt adjustable stand are options that don't add to the already lofty 15.99 price tag, but the tilt and height adjustable stand costs an extra ohm guys the wait. You can have uh budgeting, but the tilt and height. I guess rotation is a 600 value. Now it's worth mentioning that the ultrafine 5k is 300.

yeah, but i mean higher than the old thunderbolt displays were. I can't win them all. I guess, but hey you've got the option of buying color matched silver and black peripherals. So it's not all bad uh, whatever the rest of the event was pretty unimpressive.

We got a spec bump for the ipad air, now powered by the m1 soc, with eight gigs of ram and rocking a 12 megapixel front camera with center stage. It's got 5g support. Now and it comes in new colors, i don't really know what else to say here: they're comparing it to a similarly priced laptop. And while i don't disagree that for a lay person, it's probably a better experience, it's really not the same thing unless and until they bring mac os to the ipad, which they stubbornly refuse to do the other specs as much as they talked about them.

Yeah because the same yeah, they want the apple cucks to buy both products. It's assembled suppose that, because they want the cocklords to not do what people do with the surface and with all the other pads they need, like you have to buy all four of our products, it's a little less disappointing than the original. I know that's going to be a hot take, but hear me out: the price is going up and all we're getting is the a15 bionic soc a few hours better battery life, ceramic shield and 5g. The rest is exactly the same right down to the iphone 8 and start chassis.

Now, to be clear, i wasn't expecting apple to reinvent the wheel here. I understand that things are getting more expensive and i'm glad this form factor is still available, but it would have been nice to see magsafe come to the se by apple's own admission. This is going to be many people's first foray into iphone and magsafe is becoming a big part of the ecosystem. I might be giving apple a harder time.

He has so many apple products, but probably hasn't even eaten an opponent. His whole life good one. It's a what it's a what we got the vision, it's a magnetic! What this don't know, dude it should go without saying that apple is for weird technology magnetic charging tonight.
