WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.040 you might not like it but this is what Peak Performance looks like and it is 00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:12.660 chunky yeah kind of reminds me of a stubby G4 Cube the Mac Studio and 00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:16.440 matching Studio display are the two latest announcements out of apple and of 00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:22.320 everything they announced today they're easily the most exciting both powered by 00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:25.439 Apple silicon they're set to usher in a new era of performance for Apple 00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:28.920 enthusiasts but the way Apple's gone about this 00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:33.660 makes me makes things so much more complicated unlike our sponsor Ridge wallet thanks 00:00:32.220 --> 00:00:38.219 to Ridge wallet for sponsoring today's video Ridge wallet holds up to 12 cards 00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:42.059 comes with a cash strap or money clip and is available in tons of different 00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:49.040 colors celebrate ridge's 9th anniversary and use offer code Linus for 15 off site 00:00:44.579 --> 00:00:49.040 wide until March 18th at the link below 00:00:57.059 --> 00:01:02.219 the new Mac Studio is in every way what 00:01:00.300 --> 00:01:06.600 we all feared the Mac Pro would become when Apple started the transition to 00:01:03.899 --> 00:01:10.260 Apple silicon an entirely unexpandable design with fully solder components and 00:01:08.520 --> 00:01:15.000 a Mac Mini enclosure they decided to make a little taller than usual cooled 00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:17.939 by two beefy fans that pull air up through the bottom of the chassis and 00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:22.740 out through the rear Grill something Apple says is nearly silent there's 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:27.780 actually a lot going for this design for starters you get 10 gigabit Ethernet as 00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:31.320 standard thank you Apple now the rest of the rear i o is 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:35.579 rearranged but looks basically the same as the Intel Mac Mini with a high 00:01:33.540 --> 00:01:39.900 impedance pro audio output that I suspect is the same as on the new 00:01:37.259 --> 00:01:43.979 Macbook Pros turn it around however and you'll see that Apple has finally 00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:49.799 acquiesced and added front-facing connectors two USB type-c 10 gigabit 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:51.720 ports and an SDXC reader while support 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:54.899 for the brand new SD Express format would have been nice to see as a future 00:01:53.399 --> 00:01:58.619 proofing measure what we're getting tracks with the 00:01:56.820 --> 00:02:03.540 larger MacBook Pros if you pick up an M1 Ultra equipped Mac 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:09.479 Studio those type c ports up front turn into Thunderbolt ports wait 00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:14.160 M1 Ultra cow turns out Apple's been holding out 00:02:11.459 --> 00:02:17.700 on us and their M1 Max chips had an unused interconnect called Ultra Fusion 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:23.220 that allows for a chiplet style connection between two M1 Maxes to make 00:02:20.220 --> 00:02:24.840 up an M1 Ultra the effective result is a 00:02:23.220 --> 00:02:30.300 single SOC as far as software is concerned and gives a metric bug load of 00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:34.739 CPU and GPU cores double the already very impressive media engine on the M1 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:40.739 Max and twice the maximum memory capacity at 800 gigabytes per second 00:02:37.140 --> 00:02:43.620 that is faster memory than the gddr6x 00:02:40.739 --> 00:02:49.560 that is used on NVIDIA's RTX 3080 and 3090. 00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:51.239 that is pretty amazing and even more 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:55.140 amazing is the memory itself isn't even clocked faster there's just that many 00:02:53.220 --> 00:02:59.700 more channels to work with if you believe what Apple has to say the M1 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 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:09.780 faster than that machine's fastest GPU the Radeon w6900x 00:03:07.739 --> 00:03:14.700 they still sell those by the way something about those claims though this 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 00:03:17.099 --> 00:03:23.280 faster than a 16 core desktop CPU while 00:03:20.819 --> 00:03:27.540 drawing 100 Watts less power you might think that's referring to the only 00:03:24.659 --> 00:03:34.200 current 16 core desktop CPU the ryzen 9 5950x but in fact they are talking about 00:03:30.659 --> 00:03:36.000 the core I9 12900k which is an 8 plus 8 00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:40.500 core CPU with performance and efficiency cores much like apple silicon 00:03:38.099 --> 00:03:46.260 what's more max turbo power on the 12900k is 241 Watts so we can surmise 00:03:44.099 --> 00:03:51.540 based on Apple's own data that the M1 Ultra draws around 140 Watts which is 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 00:03:54.060 --> 00:04:02.280 guarantee you M1 Ultra doesn't draw just 25 watts 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:04.680 but that's the CPU 128 gigs of unified 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:09.599 memory offers an unprecedented amount of potential vram to the GPU Apple's right 00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:15.480 in that the biggest workstation card on the market right now the RTX a6000 caps 00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:17.519 out at a meager 48 gigs sure you can 00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:21.900 connect multiple a6000s together via Envy link but having that much memory in 00:04:19.739 --> 00:04:25.259 a single package is a significant feather in Apple's cap they're also 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:29.699 making some interesting claims about beating the highest end discrete GPU 00:04:27.540 --> 00:04:34.800 while also using 200 Watts less power though the footnote says they're talking 00:04:31.860 --> 00:04:38.759 about the RTX 3090 using select industry standard benchmarks so take from that 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:44.040 what you will I expect performance will be decent either way but it's very 00:04:41.220 --> 00:04:47.699 possible this specific claim leans on the media engine as Apple has done in 00:04:46.020 --> 00:04:51.060 the past and they're not talking about raw compute performance I'd like to be 00:04:49.919 --> 00:04:58.259 wrong though speaking of the doubled up media engine is now capable of running 18 00:04:54.660 --> 00:05:00.300 simultaneous 8K prores 422 streams so it 00:04:58.259 --> 00:05:04.199 really does sound like an ideal workstation for most professionals 00:05:02.100 --> 00:05:08.340 especially as software support comes online like with blender 3.1 you'll be 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 00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:18.500 simultaneously that is more battle stations certainly more pixels than 00:05:16.139 --> 00:05:23.580 Apple has ever officially supported internal storage doesn't look expandable 00:05:21.540 --> 00:05:28.020 however so you'll need to add over two thousand dollars 00:05:25.080 --> 00:05:32.699 two thousand dollars for eight terabytes if you don't want external storage a 00:05:30.780 --> 00:05:36.840 fact made worse by recent Revelations that Apple's SSD performance isn't as 00:05:35.100 --> 00:05:41.039 good as they claim it is they're cheating and in the process putting data 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:45.660 at risk if an unexpected shutdown occurs the onboard battery in a Macbook makes 00:05:43.500 --> 00:05:50.460 this a non-issue but on a stationary machine plugged into wall power 00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:55.380 well make sure that you combine the Mac Studio with a battery backup that'll add 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 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:04.320 their word it's the most powerful machine you can buy for the money get 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:08.400 subscribed because we are definitely putting that claim to the test 00:06:06.539 --> 00:06:12.539 you might also want to combine the Mac Studio with a new studio display Apple 00:06:10.860 --> 00:06:17.160 certainly wants you to the panel itself seems suspiciously 00:06:14.580 --> 00:06:21.180 similar to the existing LG ultrafine 5K with a slight bump in Peak brightness 00:06:18.660 --> 00:06:25.500 and 10 gig type c ports instead of 5 gig it even has similar power delivery 00:06:23.280 --> 00:06:30.419 capabilities to the recent models so it seems like a bit of a cop-out 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:33.840 until you get under the hood the from 00:06:30.419 --> 00:06:35.759 ltdstore.com hey got it in there what 00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:40.080 makes the studio display special aside from the aluminum and glass construction 00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:44.699 is the a13 bionic chip powering a plethora of onboard goodies it's got a 00:06:42.660 --> 00:06:48.840 very similar speaker array on paper to the 24 inch M1 iMac complete with 00:06:46.740 --> 00:06:52.979 spatial audio a three mic array presumably with noise suppression and an 00:06:51.060 --> 00:06:58.560 integrated 12 megapixel FaceTime camera capable of Center Stage which means you 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 00:07:01.020 --> 00:07:05.520 sense not to mention the a13 provides 00:07:04.020 --> 00:07:09.539 the image signal processing we've come to expect from Apple silicon that means 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 00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:18.720 engine for other tasks it even makes these AI features usable on Intel Max as 00:07:15.660 --> 00:07:20.699 old as 2016. now the studio display xdr 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:24.720 comes with three mounting options a 30 degree tilt adjustable stand a pro 00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:29.819 display xdr like stand except without rotation support and an ugly vase amount 00:07:27.660 --> 00:07:34.560 although it looks like you need to choose what you want out of the factory 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:36.060 because unlike the produce xdr there 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:40.919 isn't a user accessible mounting mechanism on the display itself 00:07:38.340 --> 00:07:45.419 thankfully the Vasa Mount and tilt adjustable stand are options that don't 00:07:42.780 --> 00:07:50.460 add to the already lofty 1599 price tag but the Tilt and height adjustable stand 00:07:47.699 --> 00:07:56.580 costs an extra 400 bucks I guess rotation is a 600 value now it's worth 00:07:53.639 --> 00:08:00.360 mentioning that the ultrafine 5K is 300 cheaper and it's already priced 300 00:07:58.500 --> 00:08:04.500 higher than the old Thunderbolt displays were I can't win them all I guess but 00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:07.440 hey you've got the option of buying color matched silver and black 00:08:05.880 --> 00:08:12.720 peripherals so it's not all about uh whatever the rest 00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:17.039 of the event was pretty unimpressive we got a spec bump for the iPad Air now 00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:21.539 powered by the M1 SOC with eight gigs of RAM and rocking a 12 megapixel front 00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:26.160 camera with Center Stage it's got 5G support now and it comes in 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 00:08:27.780 --> 00:08:33.539 similarly priced laptop and while I don't disagree that for a lay person 00:08:31.620 --> 00:08:37.919 it's probably a better experience it's really not the same thing unless and 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:42.779 until they bring macOS to the iPad which they stubbornly refuse to do the 00:08:41.219 --> 00:08:46.980 other specs as much as they talked about them are the same with the exception of 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 00:08:49.019 --> 00:08:55.620 little less disappointing than the iPhone SE and I know that's going to be 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 00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:05.640 a15 bionic SOC a few hours better battery life ceramic shield and 5G the 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:10.380 rest is exactly the same right down to the iPhone 8 and started chassis now to 00:09:07.500 --> 00:09:14.100 be clear I wasn't expecting Apple to reinvent the wheel here I understand 00:09:12.420 --> 00:09:17.399 that things are getting more expensive and I'm glad this form factor is still 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 00:09:22.019 --> 00:09:27.420 admission this is going to be many people's first foray into iPhone and 00:09:25.500 --> 00:09:30.240 magsafe is becoming a big part of the ecosystem 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 00:09:32.040 --> 00:09:39.360 it's a missed opportunity particularly given how long SE models have 00:09:36.300 --> 00:09:40.800 traditionally stayed in market and that 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:45.060 is basically all they talked about outside of baseball and Apple tv plus 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 00:09:47.940 --> 00:09:55.200 things we did pick up on though first they came out and said that the Mac 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 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:04.680 horizon second they said that the Mac Pro was 00:10:01.680 --> 00:10:07.740 the final Mac to make the transition 00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:09.779 and the 27-inch iMac like the iMac Pro 00:10:07.740 --> 00:10:13.260 is now missing from Apple's product pages 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 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:21.360 the 24 inch page instead my guess is the M1 Max equipped Max 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:25.620 studio is taking the place of the 27 inch which makes sense looking at the 00:10:24.060 --> 00:10:31.440 performance comparisons again it just feels strange for Apple to discontinue a 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:35.220 long-standing SKU like that with no Fanfare you know 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:38.700 speaking of bailing with no Fanfare we'll have all this stuff linked below 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 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:45.540 of Apple Hardware to purchase so 00:10:43.800 --> 00:10:49.440 I better get cracking on this segue to our sponsor Ting mobile thanks to Ting 00:10:47.579 --> 00:10:53.100 mobile for sponsoring today's video do you like saving money

00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:40.079 check out a review of the M1 Max MacBooks for a little preview of how the 00:11:37.620 --> 00:11:44.360 Baseline Max studio will perform it's pretty good but uh it's still evolving
