This guy is way too intense, explain it to me like I am 5!
Basically you get like... a big mac.
And you stack them together, and you inter connect them with soft buns!
That’s it.
ULTRAFUSION
Apple with The M1 ultra and Mac Studio have just changed the world of personal computing.
Again!
Okay, let's calm down a little bit.
I've seen some of the videos out there and everyone going crazy about this M1 Ultra and
the new Mac Studio!
So let’s talk about that and have a look at what it really means to you.
For me...
I am just worried about the number of Google Chrome tabs.
Just kidding, let’s marvel at the technology advance here for a little bit.
The very fact that they need to put this chip into a bigger box, is a testament to the amount
of research and development that’s gone into this.
They’re basically saying, we made a chip so powerful that the thermal requirements
for it just can’t be met by a small footprint device.
So they came up with a new product!
Genius.
And I found this really interesting...It was VERY subtle how they did this, but during
the event they didn’t talk about Intel.
The fact that Intel are doing the same thing with their chip
Apple did some black magic internally to make it
look like it’s just one chip.
(yes that’s my level of technical understanding here lol) They have this UltraFusion interconnect
with incredible bandwidth gluing the 2 CPUs into two.
From a developers point of view this is great!
ButI think time will tell.
Like every product that has come out with the M1 architecture in the past couple of
years... it hasn’t been smooth sailing.
As you may have seen here on this channel, I had some serious issues with things like
Adobe and even Apple’s own software like Final Cut Pro.
So I hate to be the party pooper but just try to look over the hype that Apple creates,
they are arguably, the best at this.
Just bear in mind...
The software has to be able to take advantage of the hardware.
It’s a nice problem to have for developers, but I am just saying...
Be prepared for things not to be buttery smooth straight away.
FANS
Also, we need to hear it.
Those fans are Huge!!!
I am sure they will be quiet, but how quiet?
Mobility issues / Who is it for?
Ok, that is mind-blowing, but who the heck is this Mac Studio for?
It’s not for someone who is just running Outlook and several tabs of Chrome.
I am sorry.
This is mainly for professional creators, musicians, graphic designers, developers...
that are not really moving about.
If you are worried about mobility, then the M1 Pro and M1 Max might be better for you.
By the way, you can probably expect one of these on the channel.
Sometime soon.
I am outgrowing this space and looking at a proper “Studio” so make sure you are
subscribed for a down-to-earth review of it if I end up getting that.
I have literally just got the M1 Max with 64GB RAM.
It actually gets delivered tomorrow... and it did cross my mind to cancel the order but,
I’ve waited so long for it...
And honestly, I need the mobility for my work.
Plus Apple dropped a couple of hints that there’s more to come this year so if you
are not in a desperate need for all this power, it might be worth waiting for that “One
more thing” from Apple.
And I will see you and your smiling faces... on the next one!
