Apple Mac Studio (2025, M3 Ultra, 32-core CPU / 80-core GPU)

Buying advice

This historical 512GB/16TB M3 Ultra Studio is relevant to macOS projects that need unusually large shared-memory capacity and local storage, such as supported local-model work or large creative working sets. Compare it with smaller-memory Studios only when your project can actually use that capacity; extra memory alone does not prove faster inference or rendering. It is excessive for everyday office use. The 512GB/16TB tuple is a historical configuration, so confirm the exact hardware, condition and availability rather than treating it as a current factory-order promise.

GAMING PERFORMANCE

PS5 (2024) = 100

Gaming Performance Index (GPI): Reference estimate · Not measured on this computer≈110–190100 is a PS5 (2024) reference, not a maximum. Relative displayed values are not game FPS ratios or a winner.
Reference estimate · Conditions & method
Reference estimates can use different methods and configurations. Bar lengths are not precise gaming comparisons, FPS ratios or target-computer rankings.
Method: Same-review Mac game ratio
PS5 (2024) = 100
Historical GPU or named-configuration reference, not a measurement of this computer. CPU, memory, driver, power and cooling may differ.
Endpoints reflect observed conditions or calibration-method sensitivity, not a target confidence or prediction interval. No midpoint is selected.
Apple graphics APIs and runtime differ from Windows. Synthetic proxies do not represent every native, translated or CrossOver game.
Specific game scenarios: the 60-core single-game and 80-core multi-scenario results cannot be ranked by their endpoints. A common calibrated scale has not been validated.
