Mac Studio M2

Although WWDC is mainly a software-focused event, this year's
conference was packed with new hardware. During the opening keynote,
Apple announced the second generation Mac Studio, its desktop
computer aimed at professional users. In its first hardware update
ever, Mac Studio is now available with the M2 Max chip and the new M2
Ultra chip.

The new Mac Studio with M2 Max and M2 Ultra

The first generation Mac Studio was introduced in 2021 as an
alternative to the Mac Pro, which is still based on Intel processors
instead of Apple Silicon chips. While the first model runs on the M1
Max and M1 Ultra chips, Apple is now bringing the existing M2 Max and
a new, more powerful M2 Ultra to Mac Studio.

While M2 Max has a 12-core CPU and 30-core GPU with support for up to
96 GB of RAM, M2 Ultra doubles all of those specs. The new chip has a
24-core CPU, 60-core GPU, and up to 192GB of RAM. A higher-end
version of the M2 Ultra is available with a 76-core GPU.

The new Mac Studio is targeted at professional users who work with
demanding tasks such as video editing and 3D rendering. 

    Featuring a wide array of connectivity within easy reach for
    pros, the new Mac Studio now has higher-bandwidth HDMI, enabling
    up to 8K resolution and 240Hz frame rates. With M2 Ultra, Mac
    Studio supports up to six Pro Display XDRs -- driving over 100
    million pixels -- allowing for a vast amount of screen real estate
    for pro workflows.

    Additionally, it now features advanced built-in wireless
    technologies. Wi-Fi 6E delivers download speeds that are up to
    twice as fast as the previous generation, while Bluetooth 5.3
    allows users to connect to the latest Bluetooth accessories.

    On the back, Mac Studio includes four Thunderbolt 4 ports, a 10Gb
    Ethernet port, an enhanced HDMI port, and two USB-A ports. It
    also conveniently has two USB-C ports and an SD card slot on the
    front to easily import photos and video.

Prices and availability

Prices for the second generation Mac Studio start at $1,999. You can
find more details about price and availability on Apple's website.
