Apple has just announced the launch of the new Mac Studio (2025). The firm has presented them through A press release —The news of the dedicated event – together with the new MacBook Air M4, and has made a curious decision: to offer two variants of this renewal.
These two variants differ essentially in the chip that governs them, which can be either an ultra m3 or an M4 Max. The design is maintained, but one thing is true: here we have more power than ever.

More beastly than ever
The legendary Mac Pro may have disappeared, but the Mac Studio have been demonstrating that they are more than capable for those who seek maximum performance. These teams have always presumed to have the most ambitious Hardware chips and configurations of Apple, and its third generation does not disappoint.
In fact, we have a “base” model based on the Apple M4 Max, and a specially remarkable model based on the Ultra M3, a chip that goes even further in performance.
According to Apple, the Mac Studio M4 Max It is up to three times and a half faster than the version with the M1 Max – a somewhat unfair comparison, that processor It is 2021-. As with the MacBook Pro M4 Max, this team starts from the 36 GB of unified memory, but can reach 128 GB, a specially respectable CIRA. The storage capacity ranges from the 512 GB of departure to 8 TB.
Things go quite further with him Mac Studio M3 Ultra It also has a variant of 32 CPU nuclei and 80 GPU, in addition to a 32 -core Neural Engine. Memory configuration ranges from 96 to amazing 512 GB of unified memory, and the storage can go from 1 TB to 16 TB.
These teams, especially with regard to these unified memory configurations, are especially interesting to experiment with artificial intelligence – especially, with Open Source models -, and of course Apple here raises an extra option for those who want to take advantage of these teams to the fullest.
Of course, making the leap to extra configuration options can shoot the price extraordinarily. We have done a test by configuring the most powerful Mac Studio that could be configured and the result is probably a real performance monster, but also of the price: It costs 17,674 euros with all extras.
There are additional improvements in these chips. According to Apple, the GPUS of these soc offer two interesting systems. The first, a dynamic cacheo system that allows you to store data that is frequently accessed in the cache to reduce latency. The second, a hardware accelerated mesh Shating system and will undoubtedly help in graphic tasks.
These new models maintain the same design of their predecessors, but the USB-C ports Now they are Thunderbolt 5 (In the M4 Max the two strikers are USB 3 Gen 2), which allows you to enjoy all the advanced options of said standard.
