Apple’s M3 Ultra is the fastest chip that it produces, and right now, you can find it exclusively in the Mac Studio. Like a Mac mini that’s been supersized, the Mac Studio still sits neatly underneath a monitor screen. For a professional-grade computer, it’s tiny, and due to its size, it’s easy to underestimate its power.
You can buy the Mac Studio now in two versions. The relative ‘entry-level’ model features an M4 Max chip – the second most powerful in the current range. While the flagship version features the M3 Ultra – the equivalent of two M3 Max chips combined, because essentially that’s what it is. So until an M4 Ultra is born, the M3 Ultra is hands down the fastest.
