The Mac Studio delivers the highest performance Apple Silicon available - the extremely powerful M3 Ultra - and Apple has supplied us with a unit for testing. In this extensive review, Oliver tests out CPU and GPU performance, delivering a range of benchmarks - including AI workloads. The integrated CPU is tested up against prior Apple flagship silicon, alongside the powerful Ryzen 9 9950X, while the GPU is stacked up against Nvidia's impressive RTX 5080. Production workflow impressions, gaming performance, it's all here. Note: the 3DMark RTX 5080 results are towards the lower percentiles among sampled RTX 5080 GPUs.
