Apple Mac Studio “M1 Max” 10 CPU/24 GPU Specs

Slotted between the diminutive, inexpensive Mac mini and the massive, expandable Mac Pro, the Mac Studio represents Apple’s first foray into a mid-sized desktop system since the demise of the underappreciated Power Mac G4 Cube more than two decades earlier.

This specific stock entry-level model — the Mac Studio “M1 Max” 10-Core CPU/24-Core GPU — features a 3.2 GHz Apple M1 Max processor with ten cores (eight performance cores and 2 efficiency cores), a 24-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, a “Media Engine” that provides hardware acceleration for video encoding and decoding, 32 GB of onboard RAM, and a 512 GB SSD that Apple reports is “not user accessible” (but that actually is removable).

Connectivity includes two USB-C ports and an SDXC (UHS-II) card slot on the front and four Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A ports, an HDMI port, a 10-Gigabit Ethernet port, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack on the back. It has 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6), too.

By default, the Mac Studio models are configured without a display, keyboard, or mouse/trackpad, but numerous Apple and third-party options are available.
