M1 Ultra vs M2 Ultra – How is This Even Possible?

40 Comments

1. Anyone in the comments using an Mac Studio for Stable Diffusion photo rendering?

2. The only real downside of the Studio, compared to the current Mac Pro is the looks. It's a great computer but it just doesn't look nearly as cool or interesting as the Mac Pro. It look boring.

3. What about export of 10 bit video?
   Realistically, video editors, colorist etc use 10 if not more bit depth.

   Also, maybe more tests on Davinci? Since everyone is switching lol

4. I like to see a comparison between the M1 Max and M2 Max to see if its worth updating!

5. Do you think the basic mac mini m3 will be enough to edit 4k drone videos in?

6. Any chance to leave the charts up longer instead of watching you talk . Important is focus on the charts not watching you talking

7. Do some aftereffects rendering.pleasee

8. Blenderbench shows the M1 Ultra scaling better than the M2 Ultra. TLB makes little difference once software is optimised to use GPU caching correctly.

9. How does denoising Blackmagic Raw compare to denoising log footage?

10. Thanks for supporting Black Rifle!

11. M1 max vs m2 Max ? 🤔

12. Studio M1 max vs Studio M2 max!!!

13. Will it be able to handle gmail and Amazon 😂

14. I wish Apple still sold the M1 Max and m1 ultra ones

15. baam

16. what about intel i9/4090 vs m2 ultra vs m2 max😮

17. M3 Ultra Mac Studio. Then I buy and ditch Intel.

18. HELP! I can't find a good comparison of the base MB Pro 16 to the base Mac Studio.
    I'm using a 2019 base MBpro16 and Davinci Resolve Studio… when I try to use ai tools like magic mask, tracking of any kind, voice isolation, etc., my machine grinds to a crawl and tells me it hates me. Literally takes 2 minutes to process 6 seconds of footage just for magic mask, if it works at all. And it takes me 45 min to 1hr or more to export a 45 min 1080p 60fps video with only color grading and voice isolation applied.
    …Is the bottleneck the GPU or the RAM?
    …I'm torn between upgrading to a base M2 MBpro16 or a base M2 Mac Studio… I work all over the place (coffee shops, the mall, every room in my house has a desk), but I could adjust my workflow if I NEED the extra RAM and performance from the Studio.
    …My use-case is this: fix color and audio on 45 min videos 4k or less but up to 60fps, export them, then edit them into 10 minute videos, all with color grading, magic mask, tracking, voice isolation, dialogue leveler, auto-transcription, and whatever built-in AI goodies I learn how to use…
    Is 16 GB of RAM in the base laptop not enough? Is the base M2 Pro chip in the laptop not enough? …

19. What happened to your hair?

20. Apple totally forget about music user…. the performance on Logic pro is ridiculous! How can you get less tracks with a new model! To be honest I've a macbookpro m2 and I've less powerful than my Imac intel 27" I9…. and apple tells you the opposite but in real life it's not true! Really disappointed with these new models 🙁

21. I use Mac Studio for development and AI, the unified memory architecture allows me to run very large models that would otherwise be very expensive to run in the cloud. For me, the killer feature of the new mac studio is more GPU cores and 192GB of RAM.

22. The Geekbench 6 Multi Core slide is messed up as you accidentally referred to the M2 Ultra as a M2 Max 12c ( and gave it the highest score ).

23. Would like to see how Topaz Video AI performs.

24. Dude your hairstyle is nice.

25. Mate you NEED!! to do a M2 ultra 64gb ram VS 128Gb ram comparison. I got the 64gb on release and am utilising 50/70% during my workflow and would like to see if I should custom order another one with 128gb ram. cheers Big love form Australia! love the vids. straight to the number no mucking around exactly the videos working professionals want to see.

26. This video was almost worthless because you were not running a 128GB 76-core M2 in the race. The GPU cores are absolutely used by Premiere for rendering (and Resolve is also optimised) so a large, complicated clip is going to see a noticeable benefit from getting the maxed-out version. And the additional RAM can be solely used by the GPU for high-intensity tasks.

27. I have a 3 hour timeline that is taking 5 hrs to render out to h.264 on the m1 ultra. Ok. It has extreme temporal and spatial noise reduction, and anti flicker and colour compression applied to the ex-vhs footage damaged by poor tape storage.
    Very reasonable performance given the effects applied. [

28. I read MK Ultra every time I see M1 or M2 Ultra written somewhere lol

29. Will wait for the M3 Studio, hopefully we get that next year.

30. Yet with Light Room Classic import speeds which is what counts the M2 Ultra is only marginally faster then the M1 Ultra

31. M1 Max VS M2Max please.

32. Apple only wants to give me $1500 for my m1 ultra 48core…I think I'll keep it. I bet if they sold me the guts for an m2 ultra it be cheaper. It also be nice if they fixed the throttling issue…and this is where the BS lies.

33. Cheers for the comparison. Always find it interesting that tech channels always do Final Cut but never Apple's other flagship app; Logic Pro. Some track count and plugin-in count benchmarks for Logic Pro would help grow and distinguish your channel's test vids. Just sayin'. Peace.

34. Please do a gaming test

35. Would love to see how well it performs with accumulation effects in fusion for 3d camera. Depth mask. Optical and Vector motion blur in fusion. Fusion is where things can come to a standstill even on a powerful system.

36. Hey, I need to know how the 8K streams holds up. M1 does 17 when I test. How many does M2 Ultra do?

37. Thanks Max! I want the MacBook Pro M3 Max😍

38. What's the LG monitor that you were using?

39. I ask again: what do you mean with binned/unbinned?

40. Can you please leave politics out of your videos.
