The Mac Studio, now powered by the M4 Max chip, represents a major leap forward in desktop performance for creative professionals. With its compact design and powerful internals, it’s built to handle the most demanding workflows in video editing, 3D rendering, music production, software development, and beyond.
At the heart of the Mac Studio is the Apple M4 Max chip, featuring up to a 16-core CPU, 40-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. The base configuration includes a 14-core CPU and 32-core GPU, with up to 128 GB of unified memory and 546 GB/s memory bandwidth, ensuring seamless multitasking and ultra-fast responsiveness across professional applications.
The M4 Max integrates CPU, GPU, I/O, and Neural Engine into a single, unified SoC architecture. This design maximizes performance while maintaining energy efficiency, thermal control, and compact form factor—making it an ideal powerhouse for desktop setups without the bulk.
With hardware-accelerated ray tracing, mesh shading, and dual ProRes encode/decode engines, the M4 Max is engineered for high-performance media workflows. It supports H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and now AV1 decode, offering broad codec support for professionals working in video and broadcast production.
The Mac Studio with M4 Max supports up to five displays, including multiple 6K and 4K monitors via Thunderbolt 5and HDMI, creating a highly versatile creative workspace.
In real-world benchmarks, the M4 Max delivers:
Up to 3.5× faster CPU performance compared to M1 Max
Up to 6.1× faster GPU performance than the Intel 27″ iMac
Up to 5× faster machine learning tasks
Connectivity Includes:
Front: 2 × USB‑C (10 Gb/s), SDXC card slot, 3.5 mm headphone jack
Rear: 4 × Thunderbolt 5 ports, 2 × USB‑A, HDMI, 10 Gb Ethernet
Wireless: Wi‑Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3
Whether you’re managing multiple 8K video streams, running complex simulations, or rendering detailed 3D environments, the Mac Studio with M4 Max delivers the power and flexibility required by today’s most demanding professionals—all in a compact, efficient package.
