God damn that M1 ULTRA is a beast on paper for the power consumption. It’s what we expected but still I can’t wait to see real world numbers. Edit: and god dam

God damn that M1 ULTRA is a beast on paper for the power consumption. It’s what we expected but still I can’t wait to see real world numbers. Edit: and god damn again at it being in something as small as the new Mac Studio. Interested in price... Edit 2: $1999 for the base Mac Studio with M1 MAX. $3999 for the base M1 ULTRA model.

M1 Ultra looks like a big win for Apple Silicon performance. Software support still isn't fully there, for one the ML stack still isn't frustration free, but a lot of progress has been made.

The operational excellence has allowed them to make every version of computer. It's wonderful from a profit perspective, and it's nice that everyone can enter the Apple family at whatever feature set/price point needed.

Nice chip. Its only problem is that you pretty much have to run macOS on it.

    My only gripe is that docker runs in a VM and there's nothing like that on macos. Other than that, it's out of my way so meh

      I don't think the Docker VM is going to phase that crazy machine.

      Docker runs x86/64-based containers fine on my Intel-based Mac. I'm wondering if one of the reasons to get an Apple silicon Mac might be to natively/locally run ARM-based containers, which might be the future.

        I notice the relative perf difference for my workloads. Also, having to preallocate memory forces a question that is often hard to answer ahead of time and harms other parts of the system while not needed.

  Possibly not for long. Asahi linux are due an alpha release any day now. No GPU support yet, but I imagine that will come. And is apparently made much easier by the fact that there's essentially only one GPU with minor variants across the entire lineup.

$3999 is actually pretty decent given it's supposedly 60% faster than the 28-core Mac Pro which is $13,499

I'm eagerly awaiting their future announcement of the MK Ultra version. It will be amazing!
