Apple's new Mac Studio and Mac Pro support up to eight 4K displays at 60Hz when configured with the M2 Ultra chip.

M2 Ultra Chip Takes Mac Studio to the Next Level.

The first Geekbench 6 benchmark result for the new Mac Pro with the M2 Ultra chip shows a single-core score of 2,794 and a multi-core score of 21,453, making it over twice as fast as the highest-end Intel-based Mac Pro. The new Mac Pro has the same design as the 2019 model but no longer supports graphics cards and does not have user-upgradeable RAM. It is aimed at customers who need PCI Express expansion, while anyone else should consider the Mac Studio with the M2 Ultra chip for their desktop computer needs, which can be configured for $3,999.

Assessing the Performance of Apple's M2 Ultra Chip Against Competitors.

Benchmark results for Apple's new M2 Ultra chip show up to 20% faster CPU performance compared to the M1 Ultra chip, making it the fastest chip Apple has ever released. The new Mac Pro with the M2 Ultra chip is expected to have around 2× faster overall CPU performance than the fastest Intel-based Mac Pro with a 28-core Xeon W processor, at a lower starting price.

"Comparing the 2023 Mac Pro and Mac Studio: Key Differences"

The 2023 Mac Pro and the updated Mac Studio both use the same M2 Ultra chip, but the Mac Pro offers four benefits over the Mac Studio: PCI expansion slots, more ports, better ventilation, and wheels. The key difference between the two machines is the seven PCI Express expansion slots, which allow for additional fast SSD storage. However, the high price tag of the Mac Pro means that there are not many customers who will choose it over the Mac Studio.

Apple's new Mac Pro with an M2 Ultra chip is expensive, but the most expensive version is $40,000 cheaper than the maxed-out version of its Intel-powered predecessor. The total cost of the new Mac Pro with upgrades is $12,348, compared to the eye-watering $53,799 of the 2019 Intel-based Mac Pro. This makes the new Mac Pro a steal by comparison, and buyers can use the "savings" to purchase other Apple products.
