(Obviously Ultra is just twice the cost/size of Max)
- wmf 5y agoSadly, the M1 Ultra chip is far more than double the price of the Max for only double the performance.
- Octoth0rpe 5y agoWhat? You can't buy the chips separately, but the base system prices for a mac studio with a m1 max is $1999, and the version with the m1 ultra is $3999. You also get 2x the ram, and 2x the disk space when upgrading.
- wmf 5y agoKeeping other specs the same, the Max -> Ultra upgrade is $2,200 which implies that the chip alone is... very expensive.
- lupire 5y agoIt's $1400 for the CPU upgrade (which forces a $400 32->64GB RAM upgrade). (And $200 to match 1TB SSD). So that leaves $600 for the case, mobo, fans, and 512TB base SSD, which seems about right, depending on where you put Apple's fat margins.
- michelb 5y agoSlight difference on the ports between the Max and Ultra, though still a hefty increase in price.
