It’s incredibly impressive. Expensive, sure, but damn impressive. I can’t wait to see some actual benchmarks! ---

I’ve just ordered one. Totally maxed out. Comes on the 5th. ---

So, if the M1 Ultra is two M1 Max SOC chips together, and is > The final member of the M1 family, M1 Ultra joins two M1 Max dies… The Mac Pro will be the first to have the next chipname iteration, and have how many M2 dies stuck together? Seriously though, can’t wait to see how the flame benchmarks look once someone in the logik crew gets their hands on one of the “studios”… And, if ADSK someday makes flame run native… 🤯 ---

I think it will be the summer announcement. And to be honest I would get that too. This will be a great renderfarm. ---

Ditto. I reckon a fully ultra extreme or whatever they call the new mac pro will cost around the 30k mark. Thats still a lot cheaper than the old 2019 mac pro which was A96k ---

We’re finally updating our finishing suite’s MacPro 2013 to the 2022 MacStudioUltra version after seeing the significant increase. We may have skipped some generations, but this one really seems like the one to go for. It will be twice as fast as my already fast M1Max MacBookPro. ---

Going to be interesting to see the tower and the m1 max ultra pro quad or whatever they end up calling but these names are getting silly. ---

I know I always bring this up, but if ADSK has a native port on the roadmap we could see the top end Linux machines get a proper run for their money with whatever mac pro ends up being… Esp w/ ML and GPU related stuff. The versatility of macflame to run other software, simultaneous Resolve w/ tangent support (no conflicting linux DKU shenanigans) & basically everything other than flame is why I don’t have a Linux machine at home. To be honest though, my 2017 imacPro has handled everything I’ve thrown at it so far without issue, save for waiting on ML and motionVector caching type tasks. Plus it runs PCoIP just fine too, ha… Personally, I’m holding out on the studio until the pro comes out, then will likely heavily consider a studio when I realize the pro will cost $25-30k which is really expensive for a Teradici terminal. 😆 ---

> [@andy\_dill](#): > > Every time I see how much Houdini is refined and improved I’m impressed. I would so like to just sink my teeth into Houdini and learn it, but I hardly have time to keep up to date with all the improvements in Flame so Houdini is just a pipe dream. A really frigging cool pipe dream nonetheless… [Next page](https://forum.logik.tv/t/mac-studio-bloody-hell-amazing/5275.md?page=2)
