#Final cut pro reviews 2018 mac#
The Mac Studio is all the Mac that the vast majority of users could need, at least for the foreseeable future. Apple is clearly favoring acoustics over absolute performance. That's the biggest reason that the M1 Ultra version of the Mac Studio weighs a hefty two pounds more than this unit. It's true, there's a dual-SoC M1 Ultra, but all of the teardowns show that the fancier model got a copper heatsink while this one gets by on aluminum alone. It runs so insanely cool and quiet that we can't fathom why Apple didn't push this thing a little harder. The fans are running because you can feel air coming out the back, but unless we ducked down and listened intently we couldn't really hear them. Look at that photo and marvel at how we're just a couple of inches away from the exhaust port, yet it only records 34 to 35 dBA. The thing is, the Mac Studio is nearly four inches tall there's plenty of room for fans and ventilation compared to a laptop, and the 14-inch MBP was already pretty quiet. To find out, we ran the Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark repeatedly to see if we could get the cooling fan to spin up significantly, while keeping the GPU and CPU cool. Apple doesn't seem to have boosted clock speeds in this desktop to wring out extra performance, and power consumption is still quite low, so keeping this chip cool should be a breeze.
The M1 Max is a laptop SoC that fits into form factors as diminutive as the 14-inch MacBook Pro. Considering that the Mac platform is effectively a hardware dongle for entry into the world of iOS development, the Mac Studio has a good chance of paying for itself over time. Developers would be well-served by ensuring they get at least a full-fat M1 Pro with 10 cores rather than the cut-down chip in the base 14" model, and the Mac Studio's base level is a really nice development machine. A minute and a half for a production-ready build is pretty speedy considering all of the ahead-of-time optimizations that Apple's compiler performs by default. Adding in two more performance cores resulted in more like a 20% decrease.
First, the swap of two efficiency cores in the Mac mini to be two more performance cores in the MacBook Pro bought a time reduction of around 10%. We'll ignore the 8th gen Core i5 here and focus on Apple Silicon. Compiling an application gets a big boost from two main things: lots of hardware threads in the CPU and plenty of disk bandwidth with fast I/O to read all the tiny files.
