1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,040 you might not like it but this is what Peak Performance looks like and it is 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:12,660 chunky yeah kind of reminds me of a stubby G4 Cube the Mac Studio and 3 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:16,440 matching Studio display are the two latest announcements out of apple and of 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:22,320 everything they announced today they're easily the most exciting both powered by 5 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:25,439 Apple silicon they're set to usher in a new era of performance for Apple 6 00:00:23,699 --> 00:00:28,920 enthusiasts but the way Apple's gone about this 7 00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:33,660 makes me makes things so much more complicated unlike our sponsor Ridge wallet thanks 8 00:00:32,220 --> 00:00:38,219 to Ridge wallet for sponsoring today's video Ridge wallet holds up to 12 cards 9 00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:42,059 comes with a cash strap or money clip and is available in tons of different 10 00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:49,040 colors celebrate ridge's 9th anniversary and use offer code Linus for 15 off site 11 00:00:44,579 --> 00:00:49,040 wide until March 18th at the link below 12 00:00:57,059 --> 00:01:02,219 the new Mac Studio is in every way what 13 00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:06,600 we all feared the Mac Pro would become when Apple started the transition to 14 00:01:03,899 --> 00:01:10,260 Apple silicon an entirely unexpandable design with fully solder components and 15 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:15,000 a Mac Mini enclosure they decided to make a little taller than usual cooled 16 00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:17,939 by two beefy fans that pull air up through the bottom of the chassis and 17 00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:22,740 out through the rear Grill something Apple says is nearly silent there's 18 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:27,780 actually a lot going for this design for starters you get 10 gigabit Ethernet as 19 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:31,320 standard thank you Apple now the rest of the rear i o is 20 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:35,579 rearranged but looks basically the same as the Intel Mac Mini with a high 21 00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:39,900 impedance pro audio output that I suspect is the same as on the new 22 00:01:37,259 --> 00:01:43,979 Macbook Pros turn it around however and you'll see that Apple has finally 23 00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:49,799 acquiesced and added front-facing connectors two USB type-c 10 gigabit 24 00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:51,720 ports and an SDXC reader while support 25 00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:54,899 for the brand new SD Express format would have been nice to see as a future 26 00:01:53,399 --> 00:01:58,619 proofing measure what we're getting tracks with the 27 00:01:56,820 --> 00:02:03,540 larger MacBook Pros if you pick up an M1 Ultra equipped Mac 28 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:09,479 Studio those type c ports up front turn into Thunderbolt ports wait 29 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:14,160 M1 Ultra cow turns out Apple's been holding out 30 00:02:11,459 --> 00:02:17,700 on us and their M1 Max chips had an unused interconnect called Ultra Fusion 31 00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:23,220 that allows for a chiplet style connection between two M1 Maxes to make 32 00:02:20,220 --> 00:02:24,840 up an M1 Ultra the effective result is a 33 00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:30,300 single SOC as far as software is concerned and gives a metric bug load of 34 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:34,739 CPU and GPU cores double the already very impressive media engine on the M1 35 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:40,739 Max and twice the maximum memory capacity at 800 gigabytes per second 36 00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:43,620 that is faster memory than the gddr6x 37 00:02:40,739 --> 00:02:49,560 that is used on NVIDIA's RTX 3080 and 3090. 38 00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:51,239 that is pretty amazing and even more 39 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:55,140 amazing is the memory itself isn't even clocked faster there's just that many 40 00:02:53,220 --> 00:02:59,700 more channels to work with if you believe what Apple has to say the M1 41 00:02:57,239 --> 00:03:05,459 Ultra is up to 60 faster than the Mac Pro equipped with 28 Xeon W cores and 80 42 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:09,780 faster than that machine's fastest GPU the Radeon w6900x 43 00:03:07,739 --> 00:03:14,700 they still sell those by the way something about those claims though this 44 00:03:12,540 --> 00:03:20,819 doesn't really pass the sniff test part of that claim is that it's also 90 45 00:03:17,099 --> 00:03:23,280 faster than a 16 core desktop CPU while 46 00:03:20,819 --> 00:03:27,540 drawing 100 Watts less power you might think that's referring to the only 47 00:03:24,659 --> 00:03:34,200 current 16 core desktop CPU the ryzen 9 5950x but in fact they are talking about 48 00:03:30,659 --> 00:03:36,000 the core I9 12900k which is an 8 plus 8 49 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:40,500 core CPU with performance and efficiency cores much like apple silicon 50 00:03:38,099 --> 00:03:46,260 what's more max turbo power on the 12900k is 241 Watts so we can surmise 51 00:03:44,099 --> 00:03:51,540 based on Apple's own data that the M1 Ultra draws around 140 Watts which is 52 00:03:49,019 --> 00:03:56,700 still a lot of Watts the 12900k is TDP at base clock is 125 watts and I can 53 00:03:54,060 --> 00:04:02,280 guarantee you M1 Ultra doesn't draw just 25 watts 54 00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:04,680 but that's the CPU 128 gigs of unified 55 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:09,599 memory offers an unprecedented amount of potential vram to the GPU Apple's right 56 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:15,480 in that the biggest workstation card on the market right now the RTX a6000 caps 57 00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:17,519 out at a meager 48 gigs sure you can 58 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:21,900 connect multiple a6000s together via Envy link but having that much memory in 59 00:04:19,739 --> 00:04:25,259 a single package is a significant feather in Apple's cap they're also 60 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,699 making some interesting claims about beating the highest end discrete GPU 61 00:04:27,540 --> 00:04:34,800 while also using 200 Watts less power though the footnote says they're talking 62 00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:38,759 about the RTX 3090 using select industry standard benchmarks so take from that 63 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:44,040 what you will I expect performance will be decent either way but it's very 64 00:04:41,220 --> 00:04:47,699 possible this specific claim leans on the media engine as Apple has done in 65 00:04:46,020 --> 00:04:51,060 the past and they're not talking about raw compute performance I'd like to be 66 00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:58,259 wrong though speaking of the doubled up media engine is now capable of running 18 67 00:04:54,660 --> 00:05:00,300 simultaneous 8K prores 422 streams so it 68 00:04:58,259 --> 00:05:04,199 really does sound like an ideal workstation for most professionals 69 00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:08,340 especially as software support comes online like with blender 3.1 you'll be 70 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:13,800 able to make use of it too up to four Pro display xtrs and a 4K HDMI device 71 00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:18,500 simultaneously that is more battle stations certainly more pixels than 72 00:05:16,139 --> 00:05:23,580 Apple has ever officially supported internal storage doesn't look expandable 73 00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:28,020 however so you'll need to add over two thousand dollars 74 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:32,699 two thousand dollars for eight terabytes if you don't want external storage a 75 00:05:30,780 --> 00:05:36,840 fact made worse by recent Revelations that Apple's SSD performance isn't as 76 00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:41,039 good as they claim it is they're cheating and in the process putting data 77 00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:45,660 at risk if an unexpected shutdown occurs the onboard battery in a Macbook makes 78 00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:50,460 this a non-issue but on a stationary machine plugged into wall power 79 00:05:48,060 --> 00:05:55,380 well make sure that you combine the Mac Studio with a battery backup that'll add 80 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:59,039 to the already high price tag for the M1 Ultra variant but if you take Apple at 81 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:04,320 their word it's the most powerful machine you can buy for the money get 82 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:08,400 subscribed because we are definitely putting that claim to the test 83 00:06:06,539 --> 00:06:12,539 you might also want to combine the Mac Studio with a new studio display Apple 84 00:06:10,860 --> 00:06:17,160 certainly wants you to the panel itself seems suspiciously 85 00:06:14,580 --> 00:06:21,180 similar to the existing LG ultrafine 5K with a slight bump in Peak brightness 86 00:06:18,660 --> 00:06:25,500 and 10 gig type c ports instead of 5 gig it even has similar power delivery 87 00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:30,419 capabilities to the recent models so it seems like a bit of a cop-out 88 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:33,840 until you get under the hood the from 89 00:06:30,419 --> 00:06:35,759 ltdstore.com hey got it in there what 90 00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:40,080 makes the studio display special aside from the aluminum and glass construction 91 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:44,699 is the a13 bionic chip powering a plethora of onboard goodies it's got a 92 00:06:42,660 --> 00:06:48,840 very similar speaker array on paper to the 24 inch M1 iMac complete with 93 00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:52,979 spatial audio a three mic array presumably with noise suppression and an 94 00:06:51,060 --> 00:06:58,560 integrated 12 megapixel FaceTime camera capable of Center Stage which means you 95 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:04,020 can finally use center stage on a Mac like the one place it makes a lot of 96 00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:05,520 sense not to mention the a13 provides 97 00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:09,539 the image signal processing we've come to expect from Apple silicon that means 98 00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:13,259 that the Mac itself doesn't need to do any of the work freeing up the neural 99 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:18,720 engine for other tasks it even makes these AI features usable on Intel Max as 100 00:07:15,660 --> 00:07:20,699 old as 2016. now the studio display xdr 101 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,720 comes with three mounting options a 30 degree tilt adjustable stand a pro 102 00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:29,819 display xdr like stand except without rotation support and an ugly vase amount 103 00:07:27,660 --> 00:07:34,560 although it looks like you need to choose what you want out of the factory 104 00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:36,060 because unlike the produce xdr there 105 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:40,919 isn't a user accessible mounting mechanism on the display itself 106 00:07:38,340 --> 00:07:45,419 thankfully the Vasa Mount and tilt adjustable stand are options that don't 107 00:07:42,780 --> 00:07:50,460 add to the already lofty 1599 price tag but the Tilt and height adjustable stand 108 00:07:47,699 --> 00:07:56,580 costs an extra 400 bucks I guess rotation is a 600 value now it's worth 109 00:07:53,639 --> 00:08:00,360 mentioning that the ultrafine 5K is 300 cheaper and it's already priced 300 110 00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:04,500 higher than the old Thunderbolt displays were I can't win them all I guess but 111 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,440 hey you've got the option of buying color matched silver and black 112 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:12,720 peripherals so it's not all about uh whatever the rest 113 00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:17,039 of the event was pretty unimpressive we got a spec bump for the iPad Air now 114 00:08:14,759 --> 00:08:21,539 powered by the M1 SOC with eight gigs of RAM and rocking a 12 megapixel front 115 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:26,160 camera with Center Stage it's got 5G support now and it comes in 116 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,000 new colors I don't really know what else to say here they're comparing it to a 117 00:08:27,780 --> 00:08:33,539 similarly priced laptop and while I don't disagree that for a lay person 118 00:08:31,620 --> 00:08:37,919 it's probably a better experience it's really not the same thing unless and 119 00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:42,779 until they bring macOS to the iPad which they stubbornly refuse to do the 120 00:08:41,219 --> 00:08:46,980 other specs as much as they talked about them are the same with the exception of 121 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,279 the type C Port which is now 10 gigabits per second rather than five it's a 122 00:08:49,019 --> 00:08:55,620 little less disappointing than the iPhone SE and I know that's going to be 123 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:59,940 a hot take but hear me out price is going up and all we're getting is the 124 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:05,640 a15 bionic SOC a few hours better battery life ceramic shield and 5G the 125 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:10,380 rest is exactly the same right down to the iPhone 8 and started chassis now to 126 00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:14,100 be clear I wasn't expecting Apple to reinvent the wheel here I understand 127 00:09:12,420 --> 00:09:17,399 that things are getting more expensive and I'm glad this form factor is still 128 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:23,459 available but it would have been nice to see magsafe come to the SE by Apple's own 129 00:09:22,019 --> 00:09:27,420 admission this is going to be many people's first foray into iPhone and 130 00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:30,240 magsafe is becoming a big part of the ecosystem 131 00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:34,440 I might be giving Apple a harder time over this than I should be but I I feel 132 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:39,360 it's a missed opportunity particularly given how long SE models have 133 00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:40,800 traditionally stayed in market and that 134 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:45,060 is basically all they talked about outside of baseball and Apple tv plus 135 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:50,459 and a new green color option for the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro there are a few 136 00:09:47,940 --> 00:09:55,200 things we did pick up on though first they came out and said that the Mac 137 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:58,800 Studio is not the Apple silicon refresh to the Mac Pro so that's still on the 138 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:04,680 horizon second they said that the Mac Pro was 139 00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:07,740 the final Mac to make the transition 140 00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:09,779 and the 27-inch iMac like the iMac Pro 141 00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:13,260 is now missing from Apple's product pages 142 00:10:10,860 --> 00:10:17,040 in fact if you type 27 into the URL bar to try and force it you're redirected to 143 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:21,360 the 24 inch page instead my guess is the M1 Max equipped Max 144 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:25,620 studio is taking the place of the 27 inch which makes sense looking at the 145 00:10:24,060 --> 00:10:31,440 performance comparisons again it just feels strange for Apple to discontinue a 146 00:10:29,399 --> 00:10:35,220 long-standing SKU like that with no Fanfare you know 147 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,700 speaking of bailing with no Fanfare we'll have all this stuff linked below 148 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:42,120 and we are going to be clicking on those links ourselves because we've got a lot 149 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,540 of Apple Hardware to purchase so 150 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:49,440 I better get cracking on this segue to our sponsor Ting mobile thanks to

M1 Max MacBooks for a little preview of how the 164 00:11:37,620 --> 00:11:44,360 Baseline Max studio will perform it's pretty good but uh it's still evolving
