The ultras don't make a lot of sense for most professionals when, at that price point a threadripper and a 4090 would still eat it for lunch.

- faeriechangling 3y agoWhile that may be true, it's not really an apples to apple comparison. The m2 Mac Studio right now at $2400 for the 64gb model is cheaper than most anything new if you want 64gb unified pool of gpu memory other than the $2000 Nvidia 64gb Jetson AGX Orin which is much slower. A threadripper based system is physically freaking large, and loud, and incredibly vram constrained. It of course is going to absolutely destroy the Mac Studio in most situations because it's better than the Mac Studio in most metrics, but honestly I'm very excited by the prospect of future Macs with gobs of memory, although I'm concerned at how Apple isn't generationally improving memory bandwidth.
