However, one question arises: is this the goto machine for professionals, or should they consider the Mac Pro instead? The standout feature of the new Mac Studio lies in its processors. The M2 Ultra chip, a part of the M2 family, takes centre stage. With an astounding 134 billion transistors, 24 CPU cores, 76 GPU cores, up to 192GB of unified memory with 800GBps of bandwidth, and a 32-core neural engine, the M2 Ultra surpasses the M1 Ultra, its predecessor, in several key areas. Notably, it can handle up to 22 streams of 8K ProRes playback simultaneously, an increase from the M1 Ultra’s 18 streams.
