Apple's new M2 Ultra chip blew me away. I was not expecting much from this thing, but after running some of my usual tests I was gobsmacked by the amount of performance gains compared to last year's M1 Ultra. Today we'll run some gaming benchmarks, video editing, 3D modeling and rendering, and of course Cinebench and GFXBench to go through exactly how fast this new chip is!

The reason for 2x increase was apple added a controller chip make use for all the cores for load balancing unlike the M1 ultra which required the ram to max out before it used it 😊

@TheRealMafoo Год назад

Yea, so if you had tested the M1 Ultra by doing 100 different things at the same time, it would have looked a lot faster then the Max. It just wasn't good at doing 1 thing faster. The M2 Ultra should be better at this.

@whophd Год назад

Can we … spend more time talking about this please? It's super interesting and I wish I understood. (Is this different to the M1 Ultra needing 128 GB to reach full speed?)

@jonathanboice Год назад

I not sure I can find the clip, but Apple them selfs indicated this was a change they made from the M1 Ultra stating that it was crazy good if you wanted to do 100 parallel tasks, but if you wanted scaling on a single task it would not do it, part of this is to do with the scaling logic, it required the memory within the chip to large enough to distribute the work load, so this is why you saw very different results from task to task, and why for example a game would get one result and another would get a different one all about memory buffer size. of course of this was also to do with software venders being lazy and not scaling their tasks properly as well, but from an architecture point of view Its two M1 Max joined together with massive buffers and huge pipe lanes connecting them. so it took a lot to use the other half or the chip, which is why many results show it slightly faster then an M1 Max. Enter the M2 ultra again its a M2 Max combined, but the difference is the software stack, and the new integrated memory and management controller helps use all the cores and threads for better allrounded tasks not just the ones that max the memory buffer. So yes their is a performance boost from M1 to M2 but not a huge one as you see on the single purpose chips, add a proper task scaler, and bam, you get double the performance on the M2 Ultra as its not waiting to use the other half of the chip. my guess if you could max out the M1 Ultra and did the same with the M2 ultra the results would be closer to 10% - 20% increase in performance between the two chips, but it goes to show you can have all the power in the world if you can not use it, makes it pointless. Hope that helps make it a little clearer why they showing up now as almost 50% increase in results, still the scaling is impressive, and a 20% increase is nothing to be scoffed at, especially if your coming form an older Mac, from last years M1 to this years M2 less of an upgrade generally speaking, its more spec bump performance you would expect year on year.

@@jonathanboice "this was also to do with software venders being lazy and not scaling their tasks properly as well" - Lazy? Depending on software involved, that can be either very hard (including massive re-writes and testing) or impossible. Some tasks simply cannot be split.

@jonathanboice Год назад

@@MichaelGGarry Sure in some cases depending on how you have your software core coded, and which tool chains you used can be extremely hard to do, but if you are a true native Mac developer its no less easy but apple provide a number of API's and tools and allow for better segmenting of code blocks for better scaling on multi core CPU's, maybe the word "lazy" was not correct but you get my point, its more to point out the discrepancies between bench marks, and program to program. And there is of course reasons and justifications for why developers choose to approach their build of their software the way they do. I should know I built enough of them at this stage, but I hope it's all making sense, not trying to attack anyone where, just point out the reasons between the two processor results.

I just bought a 2019, 16" MacBook Pro for just over $950, as a way to wait out for lower prices and better options on the M chips and it's been great. I had been wanting to get the larger screen on the M1 but the prices are just too much. Now the new Mac Studio or even the new 15" MacBook Air are good options. But now I can wait it out even longer, I'm pretty happy so far with the 2019, 16".

@aminorjourney Год назад

I COMPLETELY hear you @Luke Miani, but... As a RU-vid content creator @Transportevolved and someone who films in 6k raw, (we do a lot of car stuff), I'm looking at the Pro as an upgrade from my 2017 iMac Pro 128GB/2TB/10-core for several big reasons. First, I have a LOT of external hard drives on my desk for personal stuff, some of which is now fast-approaching 12 years old. Being able to remove the clutter on my desk and put them inside the Mac Pro will certainly free up space. Second, we have a 10GBe network, and being able to set up a machine to direct connect at 20 Gbps to our 450 TB video server (again, because we're automotive we have to use a LOT of library footage and a LOT of previous video footage) is very tempting. Third, we do audio processing and third-party video production too. That puts a LOT of strain on hard disks, and being able to add third-party SSDs internally as scratch volumes sounds like a great idea (our Final Cut Pro and Davinci edit sessions are often slowed down by full cache drives, as are our Pro Tools sessions). I know I'm probably putting the pro into Pro, and yes, I think the studio would be a great upgrade form our existing iMac Pro and all the cables hanging off it (three SSDs and four spinning drives) but honestly, I am also really excited to see how much faster I can make the M2 Ultra if everything is internal fast (even though I know the PCIe lanes are awkwardly shared) Looking forward to your review ;)

@frostgodx Год назад

None of those things need the pro just use up to date solutions and data transfer over Thunderbolt connection. The rest is your lack of organization and ability to condense history into a forgivable medium that’s not clutter. Disposable profit/income on the other hand makes these non issues I suppose and it’s much easier to pull the trigger on the pro in your case so I guess that’s made for you after all. Cheers

Yeah . . . it appears that it is some combination of both hardware and software (firmware, specifically). Unclear if the hardware is only the increased cache. In the end, the encoders across both M2 Max halves of the M2 Ultra seem to be operating as one would hope . . . in parallel on a single encode task/flow. As opposed to having to set things up so that you are running two encodes at the same time, which is what you had to do with the M1 Ultra to get the best usage.

@LeeBlaske Год назад

I've got a 2019 Mac Pro, and I'm going to upgrade to either a new Mac Pro or Mac Studio. At first, considering the computing power is the same, the Mac Studio looked like the obvious choice. But, I'm going to be using it in my recording studio, and I need quiet. I also need a LOT of NVMe storage. I've been doing a lot of looking around, and I'm not finding good NVMe enclosures for multiple sticks that are quiet. The OWC 4M2 and Mercury U.2 are reviewed as being very loud. OWC DOES have the silent Thunder Blade Thunderbolt drives, but they are VERY expensive, and only Thunderbolt 3. If instead, I buy some of the OWC PCIe 4 NVMe cards with the big heat sink, I can save a lot of money. And, I'll get better than Thunderbolt 3 speeds. Also, I currently have one of those two 3.5" mechanical drive SATA carriers in my Mac Pro for long-term archival storage and Time Machine (two WD 18Tb drives). Those work great, and I can't hear them (and, I've already bought them, and the carrier). The fans and cooling design in the Mac Pro is top notch. With the Apple Silicon running cooler than Intel, the fans should be even better. So, adding up the expense of enclosures and cabling I'd need for a Mac Studio, and the hassle of fan noise in external cases, not to mention the clutter of cabling and wall warts, the extra $3k for the Mac Pro isn't looking that bad. 32Tb of SSD on a Thunder Blade would cost $5,500. 32Tb of Crucial P3 + 4Tb chips, and two OWC 4 NVMe cards would only cost $2,358 (and they'd be faster inside the Mac Pro). A couple of extra Thunderbolt ports, and an additional HDMI port is frosting on the cake. If you need a lot of SSD, and you need quiet, the Mac Pro might save you money, and be a cleaner solution. I'm sure the Mac Studio is quiet, but dealing with noisy external drive fans is a PITA, and you really can't get a Thunderbolt cable long enough to put them far away.

Hi Luke! I've been digging your vids for quite a while now I am a music professional(sometimes video editor) that had a slower experience transitioning to the M series chips (did try out a M1 Macbook Air for portable) due to music plugin compatibilities that was critical for work. hence the music industry isn't the most flourished in budgets, I loved how you showed us how to mod or upgrade macs with less cost/guide to buy used in the past. in 2018 I've purchased an intel mac mini with an egpu(6corei7 vega64 8gb stock 8to64gb ram) and felt some lag when it comes to 4K footage(braw davinci resolve)with fusion text and effects/multiple footage simultaneously(1080 timeline was fine). I upgraded the egpu to a 6800xt16gb in March2022. that was an awesome leap in editing smoothness. Then in Decemer 2022 I bought a used iMac Pro(vega6416gb 10core 4tbssd 128gb ram). With the egpu6800xt plugged in, dual gpu vega64 and 6800xt didn't work so efficiently as I thought it would in Resolve. I expected Resolve would handle dual gpus with equal 16gbvram better. My question is that with your imac pro and an egu(if you have one), how does the performance look like compared to the Mac studio line up? and how do you observe the importance when it comes to RAM/VRAM for effects and color grading? sorry to be so specific, now that the music plugins are adjusting to ARM chips, I am thinking of going to a Mac Studio, or upgrading my imac pro to 18core/7900ish(if a newer OS allows it) If you feel like you have the time to justify the experiment, it will be very appreciated. thx!!

Where the Mac Pro would make sense is if you need a bunch of internal storage. Mac Studio can only go up to 8TB but with the Mac Pro you can just buy pcie to nvme adapters and throw some nvme drives in there. You can put like around 128TB of nvme storage to that.

Thank you for testing the Final Cut export times! I just ordered one today and have been hoping that I made the right choice. I create videos that are 35-55 minutes long with effects, color grading, etc and the exports on my M1 Max Macbook Pro can be long. Catching an error can be absolutely devastating if I need to re-render and I recently had to do so three times for one video (hours and hours of rendering). This sounds like it's going to solve my biggest problem, so money well spent! Curious about your specs, though - did I miss it?

I don't know anything more than you, but I'm going to speculate that they're holding off on a Mac port until the proton-like conversion layer is ready for primetime. The CEO said all versions of the game are the same this time around, so bringing in Aspyr for a conversion isn't the route they're aiming for. Again, all speculation, but I think it could be why nothing has been said regarding a Mac release. I have seen probably a hundred comments on my videos recently asking about Mac support. I'll compile these and send to my contacts as CO/Paradox. Idk if it'll help, but it can't hurt.

@doctorscoot Год назад

Is it … i/o bandwidth? On the export especially. Or memory bandwidth? E.g. dual channel or single channel bandwidth. Also, maybe Apple is using an improved version of TSMC’s fabric on the silicon dies with the interconnects on the ultra. If there’s a new upgrade fabric, then that suggests at least part of the reason the performance is scaling linearly on the m2 ultra over the m1 ultra. And that sort of thing might also explain part of the performance edge that the m2 max has over the m1 ultra too (better comms inside the die and between between it and the peripherals).

@timbacodes8021 Год назад

what are the specs on these? Ram, Gpu, cpu etc, are these the base models..?

@steveseidel9967 Год назад

There was a design issue with the M1 ultra. For the GPU, there apparently wasn't enough buffer memory to keep all of the GPUs fed. It scaled pretty well up to about 40 cores, but not much beyond that. The extra buffer memory seems to have resolved that issue well. As for the encoders, if you set up batch encoding to run simultaneously, you could leverage both sets of encoders. However, if you were encoding just 1 file, only 1 of the sets of encoders would be used. With the M2 series, they now apply encoders from both half of the chip together on the same task to provide 1.8x acceleration (not completely linear).

I have the new M2 Max Studio and can say the GPU performance is more acceptable than the M1 Ultra I had previously, but still not perfect. There seems to be a wall when pushing more than 2.5K pixels that may be a memory cache or bandwidth problem. Previous M1 Ultra had bad stuttering issues at 2K; the M2 Max handles 2K (2560x1440) just fine, and I can even get to about 3200x1333 on an ultrawide monitor before performance starts to stutter and tank like the M1 Ultra did with real-time 3D rendering. Sometimes playing with your refresh rate helps, newer monitor works fine with variable framerate while older UltraWide had to be locked at 60hz to provide smooth rendering. I'm much more happier with the M2 Max Studio than the previous M1 Ultra. Also glad I didn't spend more money on the M2 Ultra, as your Rise Of The Tomb Raider benchmarks shows little performance increase, which is what I was fearing with a real time rendering scenario. I think Apple is encountering a situation similar to SLI on the PC side, where apps and drivers have to be tweaked to properly use that secondary (GPU) chip. Sure looks like it's not doing much good with older Rosetta based software.

How does it compete against i9 13900k or R9 7900x?

@ColinKlupiec 9 месяцев назад

Luke, you're right, the experience you have will depend on what you're using it for (naturally). I find the M2 Max is still sluggish in DaVinci Resolve Fusion. Perhaps Resolve isn't quite as optimised yet for Apple Silicon. Perhaps the Ultra provides the extra GPU performance needed to smoothly run VFX in Fusion. Serious work demands serious investment..nothing new there either.

The wheezing sound! I have been getting it! In a very specific case and on the M1 Max 16' Macbook. I've been developing a game using Godot and not capping fps to 120 resulted in this wheezing sound that would come out only when the the game window isn't in focus. Not made by speakers. Doesn't seem to be fans. Super perplexing.

@bennym1956 Год назад

I'm still using an iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017 16 GB 2400 MHz DDR4, so any M series Apple will be a HUGE upgrade this year ! I don't do any video editing / programing so my needs are lower. So for the best bang for my bucks is looking like the new M2 Mac Mini, maybe better processor and more ram. Buy external HD storage cheaper. Possibly use Luna to connect Mac Mini to iMac !

@zerocore_ Год назад

7:33 if Apple keeps this up they might be able to match high end GPU performance with 2-4 years. It’s really the one area where they still underperform, but once they figure it out these Mac’s actually present a really good value for money.

@utubekullanicisi 11 месяцев назад

3:57 Let me tell you how they did it: The E-cores in the M2 generation are improved more than the P-cores are (at least when it comes to the core itself, the P-cores have 33% higher L2 cache while the E-cores have the same amount), they're clocked 20% higher (2.05GHz vs. 2.5GHz) and in contrast to the P-cores the IPC of the E-cores are improved a little bit as well, for a total of about 25% perf. improvement. Compare that to the P-cores, which are unchanged in terms of the core architecture and clocked 8.3-14% higher (depending on how many of the are active, when 1 is active on the M2 Pro/Max/Ultra the P-core boosts to 3.68GHz while if more than 1 is active they boost to ~3.3-3.5GHz, while on the base M2 the max P-core boost clock is 3.5GHz). So don't belittle the inclusion of 2-4 more E-cores (without more E-cores, the faster P and E-cores on the base M2 has achieved 15-18% perf. improvement, but the P/E-core ratio is different on the base M2).

According to several comparison videos done by some big tech channels on YT, FCPX always exports way faster than Premier. Adobe is bloatware, always was always will be.

@michaelsurratt9593 Год назад

The reason for the pro is simply for those that need the specialized cards. There actually is a large market, it is just a small percentage of the market. Still a lot of units but, small percentage. The only problem is that market needs a lot more RAM and 192 GB is low for that market. For most of us, 192 is more than enough. I have worked in the market that actually NEEDS all the power and RAM. So, the current Pro is a disappointment. The Studio is amazing though. Most of us don’t need the specialized cards nor more 192 GB of RAM.

@Wokiis Год назад

We JUST bought and have decided to KEEP an M1 Ultra Mac Studio at work because we couldn't get Avid Nexis to work under Ventura (Monterey is fine) despite Avid's support-team attempting to resolve it. So all this talk about the M2 Ultra being so much better.. please no, quiet! :D I do like the way all twenty CPU-cores fire up when we render out 4K DNxHR from Resolve, though. Means at least that scales.
