The performance, connectivity, and new capabilities are unlike previous computers Apple has offered. It's powered by the M1 Max and the all-new M1 Ultra chip.

This leads to a level of CPU performance scaling that I don't even see on supercomputers. What is it The Mac Studio is a desktop computer, similar in size to the Mac mini with a footprint of 7.7-by-7.7 inches but thicker (3.7 inches high).

Unsurprisingly, he seems impressed: 'We know from Apple's specs and marketing materials that the M1 Ultra has an extremely high 800 GB/sec memory bandwidth and an even faster 2.5 TB/sec interface between the two M1 Max chips that make up the M1 Ultra, and it shows in the CFD benchmark. Unified memory is faster and more efficient than the same amount of traditional RAM. Computational fluid dynamics ( CFD) is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical analysis and data structures to analyze and solve problems that involve fluid flows. Play back up to 22 streams of ProRes 422 video. Run complex particle simulations or work with massive 3D environments. Delivers twice the performance of M2 Max. He had to double the x-axis just to fit the M1's performance in. Our largest and most capable chip ever to tackle the most demanding workflows. Unlike simpler benchmarks that tend to make CPUs look good, the CFD benchmark stresses the entire system and shows us how things hold up as conditions become more and more challenging.' With just 6 cores, the Mac Studio's M1 Ultra surpasses the 2019 Xeon before literally going off the original chart. See the Mac Studio Product Environmental Report. It's what makes parallel CFD computations such a great real world benchmark. Mac Studio is designed with the following features to reduce its environmental impact: 5. This happens because the computational work begins to saturate communications on the system as data and MPI instructions pass between the cores and memory, creating overhead. This computational analysis method has many merits, including robust device design and the ability to simulate coupled and complex physics quickly at a low cost.

He has this to say about why he thinks CFD benchmarks are a good test: 'As shown above, we see a pretty typical trend where machines get less and less efficient as more and more cores join the computation. The Mac Studios M1 Ultra chip outperforms the 28-core Xeon Mac Pro with the highest-end graphics card Theres been a few benchmarks already showing the Mac Pro with an edge in graphics. ANSYS Fluent software influenced by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) 57 is a particularly effective tool for the study and analysis of microfluidic flow behaviors. And now Dixie_Flatline (Slashdot reader #5,077) describes Hunter's latest experiment:Ĭraig Hunter has been running Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) benchmarks on Macs for years-he has results going back to 2010 with an Intel Xeon 5650, with the most recent being a 28-core Xeon W from 2019.
