I sent back my Mac mini pro as I'd listened to the pundits and "saved" £600 getting a 1Tb ssd internal and a 4Tb external. Spent way too much of my valuable (to me!) time managing memory and heat (had to buy a fan) - thought id get it with more internal storage, then this ! So I'm getting the Studio MAX with 4Tb which should solve the heat and storage issues.

Apple is so far ahead of the competition in terms of CPU performance, I just wish it's the same for GPU performance too.

Anyone needing someone else to explain the difference between these two chips shouldn't buy one. Also, the M4 Max single core speed will be a little faster than the M3 Ultra single core speed. It's the multi core speed where the M3 Ultra blows away the M4 Max. Having said that M4 Max is one heck of a power house computer.

It's like they finally woke up and listened to their users and actually started adding appropriate (if not excessive) amounts of RAM into their base models.

Apple probably gonna release the M4 Ultra in Mac Pro and thus differentiate it from the Mac Studio.

I don't believe you mentioned the fact that the M3 Ultra has twice the video encoding engines (4 vs 2) for h.264 and HEVC encoding. This will make a massive difference to those that care.

the Mac Studio feels like for large video studios where they regularly record in 8k or higher and AI. That’s about it. I do light video editing workloads in 4k and a ton of streaming, and my job is in audio (editing/mixing for YouTubers, and music production). I just got a Mac mini m4 pro and it feels almost overkill for my use case so far. The only use i’d get out of a Mac Studio is extra thunderbolt ports and an extra two monitors. I have 3 now but one other could be helpful and one to use with a projector would be sick to display cool backgrounds behind me vs a green screen.

My use case is being able to playback UHD ProRes with noise reduction turned on in DaVinci Resolve.

I've been running LLMs with Ollama on a high-performance PC equipped with an NVIDIA GPU. I quickly learned that 24GB of video memory is a significant limitation, and expanding beyond that becomes both expensive and complicated. Even though the M3 Ultra may be somewhat slower than CUDA-based PCs, I can definitely see use cases where its 512GB of unified memory would be a major advantage.
