Brief review video by Marques Brownlee:
I was just coming over to put this up.
That reviewer is definitely the target market who the Mac studio is aimed at. We'll see if they make Mac Pro any more suitable for Pro users but without proper customisability there will never be an all in one PC which is right for every workflow. So it doesn't make sense for most pro users IMO.
For my money Apple want to make too much profit from every unit they sell so there will always better options. Plus as a pro I don't want one company to control my workflow. Sealed units make sense for ipads but I want to customise my other gear for my own special requirements
"Too much profit"? Such a thing does not exist in markets where consumers are free to choose what they buy, for whatever reason they want.
This cracked me up!

this is the only mac studio benchmark we really need https://t.co/q3TPFt1UuR

The 4 ports on the back are Thunderbolt 4 - if you added a CalDigit Element hub to each you would have 12 available TB4 ports and 16 USB3.2 ports plus the 2 USB-C on the front… probably enough to be going on with… 😁
The pendulum swinging between "Discrete Components and Integrated Systems (SOC = Systems on a Chip)" has been oscillating for decades shifting the lines of performance vs cost for the consumer with miniaturization as a side benefit that has put a mainframe in our pocket with 100 Megabit Wireless networking.
The big ask for developers in the short term is really using all the cores available to boost DAW performance. Cubasis 3 might show the benefits of the re-write from Cubasis 2 with better multi-core performance improvements.
Apple might provide yet another inter-op system over IAA and AUv3 that is "thread safe" and we'll all go crazy... again because we'll need to beg developers to update to "MTAU" compatibility so we can scale our IOS DAW rigs to 100 instances of an 808 Kick. History rhymes. Get used to it.
I still have a Motorola Chip (68000) based Mac in a box around here somewhere. I had a pristine "Java Station One" that a tossed out in a move. Does anyone have a Sinclair zx80
or a TRS-80?
I don't have any of my old computers any more. I gave them all away when we moved overseas. Related to this topic, I did used to own a NeXT cube with the Motorola 56001 DSP coprocessor. Most machines I used to work on also had separate FPU and MMU IC's. I'm going to go on record here with my bet that the dedicated GPU doesn't even have a decade left -- maybe even less than 5 years. That's one of the reasons I'm interested in Apple's play towards getting Blender optimized for Metal.
Built for purpose processors seem to targeting AI (TensorFlow), Crypto processing processing and big data indexing.
It does seem like a lot of BigCo's are targeting the Metaverse which would mean lots of research in 3D visualization processors in smaller form factors (headsets, glasses, neural implants?).
I don't predict the future but I do look for clues on the affordability of the really cool stuff.
Yeah, 3D does seem to be the next big thing. All the rumors flying around Apple and their AR/VR glasses have to at least have a little something of truth in them. The recent spatial audio stuff from them might be a hint that we could get some 3D audio space on upcoming VR devices. The bandwidth between the memory, CPU, and GPU on these new processors could be good for something.
Have you actually seen anyone touting crypto mining test results on the Mac Studio?
No. "Built for purpose" means something made to be installed in a PC I/O slot like an Nvidia adapter.
I'm sure some Googling around would disclose the most cost effect PC config for crypto.
I can't imagine crypto miners using Apple products unless it's some kind of Botnet targeting Macs or iPhones are compute nodes and gaining some advantage with scale.
