M1 Max performance difference in Mac Studio

[ccmovies]

Hey folks, in a mad rush to order a Mac Studio I chose the base model M1 Max chip (24 core GPU) instead of upgrading to the 32 core GPU version which I have in my MacBook Pro. Any ideas what kind of difference in performance I’ll notice when editing in Final Cut or After Effects? Are we talking about a notable difference here?

Any links to comparisons of these two chips or real world tests would be helpful. I could find any directly comparing these two. Thanks!

Adobe doesn't need the 32 GPU core, this is for 3D applications and games. I think if you search in the Geekbench scores, the 32c reaches 15% more in Metal.

If you have a look at Max Tech's videos I think he does a video showing the difference between the different core Max chips. But i actually reckon the Max will perform better in the Studio chassis than it does in a laptop, just like the basic M1 performed better in the Mini than the 13" MBP.

24 Core vs 32

New M1 Max studio going for base model as Good enough for my needs replacing a late 2012 iMac 27” Using as a family computer mainly office stuff and some photoshop stuff Would it be worth paying an extra £200 to go out to 32 core GPU? Love the specs of this thing and should be good for longtime

I ordered my M1 Max with 64GB/1TB minutes after the store came back up, and it says March 18-22. It's still in "preparing to ship" status, so I guess we'll see!

Edit: I meant to post this in the shipping thread, oops!
