       @paul The M1 Ultra is much faster.

       @snazzyq I'm not so sure, Xcode isn't all that great at parallelizing across 20 cores, specially for the very frequent small incremental builds I do.

       @paul @snazzyq For many developers, I suspect 96 GB of RAM and M2 Max core count might win out.

       @gruber @paul @snazzyq No Max on the mini though.

       @jsnell @gruber @paul @snazzyq Is there any reason for that other than to artificially differentiate the Mac mini from the Mac Studio? Surely if they can fit a Max chip inside a laptop, they have the thermal capacity and volume to fit a Max chip inside the mini. It’s not all that mini compared to a laptop.

       @dgriffinjones @jsnell @paul @snazzyq It’s just the definition of the product. Mini ranges from Mx to MxPro. Studio from Mx Max to Mx Ultra. Early run of Max chips go to MBPs.

       @gruber @dgriffinjones @paul @snazzyq also I am skeptical about the cooling of a 38-GPU chip in the mini enclosure.

       @jsnell @gruber @dgriffinjones @paul @snazzyq It works in the 14" MBP no?You'd think the cooling in a mini should be better than the laptop.

       @n8udd @gruber @dgriffinjones @paul @snazzyq I'm not going to make any assumptions about the cooling system of the Mac mini versus the MacBook Pro. You're welcome to. I think Apple designed the Mac Studio specifically for the hotter chips, which is why they sell the hotter chips in the Mac Studio.
