Full Model Identification & Overview

• Marketing Name: Mac Studio with M1 Ultra chip (2022)

• Your Model Number: MJMW3B/A

• Color: Silver

• Key Differentiator: This model features the top-of-the-line Apple M1 Ultra chip, which is essentially two M1 Max chips fused together using Apple’s UltraFusion packaging architecture. This is a no-compromise workstation for the most intensive tasks.

Detailed Technical Specifications

• Chip: Apple M1 Ultra

  • CPU: 20-core (16 high-performance cores + 4 high-efficiency cores)

  • GPU: 48-core

  • Neural Engine: 32-core

  • Media Engine: Includes two media engines, providing unprecedented hardware acceleration for H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and ProRes RAW. This means it can decode and encode multiple streams of 8K ProRes video simultaneously.

• Memory (RAM): 64GB Unified Memory

  • This is a massive, high-bandwidth pool of unified memory. It is shared seamlessly between the CPU and GPU, allowing for tasks that are impossible on systems with separate, limited VRAM. Not user-upgradeable.

• Storage: 1TB SSD

  • An extremely high-speed internal SSD. The 1TB and larger models offer the fastest possible read/write speeds due to multiple NAND chips. Not user-upgradeable.

• Connectivity & Ports (Extensive and Professional-Grade):

  • Front: Two USB-C ports (10Gb/s), one SDXC card slot (UHS-II).

  • Rear: Four Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports, two USB-A ports (10Gb/s), one HDMI port, one 10Gb Ethernet port, one 3.5mm headphone jack (with advanced support for high-impedance headphones), and the power connector.

• Wireless:

  • Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) + Bluetooth 5.0

• Supported Displays:

  • The M1 Ultra supports a staggering number of high-resolution displays:

    • Up to four 6K displays (Pro Display XDR) and one 4K display.

    • Total: Up to five external displays simultaneously.

• Cooling: Features a sophisticated dual-fan thermal system designed to dissipate the immense heat generated by the M1 Ultra under sustained load, allowing it to maintain peak performance indefinitely without throttling.

• What’s in the Box:

  • Mac Studio

  • Power Cord

  • No peripherals included.

Who Is This Model Designed For?

This Mac Studio is built for a specific class of professional where time is money and performance is critical. It is overkill for almost any casual use.

• Hollywood-Level Video Editors & Colorists: For editing, color grading, and rendering multiple streams of 8K ProRes RAW video in real-time. The dual media engines are a game-changer.

• 3D Artists & Animators: Handles incredibly complex 3D models, scenes, and final-frame rendering with immense speed. The 64GB of unified memory allows for massive textures and geometry.

• Visual Effects (VFX) Artists: Runs compositing software like Nuke with complex node trees and simulators (smoke, fire, fluid) that use both the CPU and GPU extensively.

• Music Producers Working with Large Orchestral Templates: Can load hundreds of gigabytes of samples into RAM for instant access, with ample power for real-time processing and virtual instruments.

• Software Developers Compiling Massive Codebases: Can drastically reduce build times for large projects (e.g., operating systems, game engines).

• Scientists and Researchers: For complex data analysis, scientific simulations, and machine learning models that leverage the massive GPU and Neural Engine.

Important Considerations

1. Extreme Overkill for Most: This is not a computer for browsing the web or editing home videos. Its power and cost are justified only by professional needs that generate income.

2. Peripherals Required: You must provide your own professional-grade monitor(s), keyboard, and mouse/trackpad. To leverage its power, you would likely invest in multiple high-resolution displays.

3. Fixed Configuration: Like all Apple Silicon Macs, the RAM and SSD are soldered and cannot be upgraded later. The 1TB SSD is a good start, but professionals working with 8K video often add terabytes of fast external Thunderbolt storage.

Comparison to Other Models

• vs. Mac Studio M1 Max: The M1 Ultra is in a different universe, offering roughly double the CPU, GPU, and memory bandwidth of the M1 Max.

• vs. Mac Pro (Intel & Apple Silicon): At the time of its release, this Mac Studio outperformed most Intel-based Mac Pro configurations at a fraction of the size, cost, and noise level. It made the traditional tower obsolete for a vast majority of pros.

Final Verdict

The Mac Studio with M1 Ultra (20-core CPU, 48-core GPU, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD) is an absolute masterpiece of professional computing.

It is a “forever machine” for top-tier creative and technical professionals, designed to tackle the most demanding workloads for years to come. It represents the point where Apple Silicon truly demonstrated it could not only compete with but surpass the highest-end traditional workstation hardware, all in a compact and silent enclosure.

This is a tool for those whose work demands the absolute best. It is an investment that pays for itself in saved time and unparalleled creative freedom.
