Yes, but will it run WoW better than my Mac Pro 5,1 with an RX580?
That’s all I want to know

All these are Apple sponsored reviews so they're only allowed to give glowing praises otherwise they get their early access privilege revoked. Have to wait for unbiased reviews since they have to buy out of pocket.
Faster than anything we actually do or need now. What about 3 years from now? Or 5?
It's a bit annoying that just about every review is of the M1 Ultra. I'll be getting my Max tomorrow, So I'll see what it can do sson enough.
The German guy says it’s noisy but I guess if the rear is facing a wall you won’t hear much … hope so ….
What are you even talking about? Plenty of professionals will be able to take advantage of the speed and power of the studio.
Everyone who works in film/tv. Editing is based around how fast you can get stuff done. The faster the computer, the faster you are. Why are all these consumers coming out of the woodworks with ignorant opinions about a machine that's clearly not for them.
The way apple design their port access might be a good idea tbh , maybe not on the iMac ?
Does the display sit higher than an iMac? Because that's an extreme upgrade since most iMacs aren't at eye level for me and need to be raised by a stand.
There are many reviews, but also many using the Adobe tools that are not M1 native yet, at that moment. Illustrator is in overall miles behind compared with Affinity Designer in user experience / speed. I am slowly switching more and more in Designer for al my vector illustrations.
When compiles took forever (in the 68k days) I used to read various technical manuals we had lying around while waiting. When the PPC/metrowerks came out I couldn't do that anymore because it was so fast. Today I have to make time to keep up, since everything's so much faster. Funny how things are, right?
They actually gave an example of real-world usage: 4x scrubbing on a 4:2:2 4K timeline. That’s actually impressive and quite useful. They also claimed that a Mac Pro struggled in the same operation.

Right, but you can assume that the performance wouldn’t get worse as Adobe does their M1 native work, so those comparisons even now still have value. The thing that’s MORE important though (as I’ve been doing some searching this morning), is that single thread performance doesn’t vary a huge amount going up through the product range. If you find any Adobe native review running on any M1, that’s still going to be very close to what the Studio’s capable of.
Speak for yourself! As someone who works with After Effects everyday, faster rendering meets my needs.
The M1 is designed for basic user needs. The M1 Pro, Max, and Ultra chips are designed for power users needs.
If the Mac Studio is more power than you need, save yourself several hundred dollars and buy the Mac mini instead.
If I hadn't already bought myself a 16" MacBook Pro with M1 Max chip, I would have ordered a Mac Studio by now.
She says that and I believe that is the norm for most of the review units. But I think Apple lets people like iJustine and MKBHD keep the products they provide them with. Apple wants their millions of viewers to see their products in their videos as much as possible whether they are directly talking about them or the product is just sitting in the background of a shot.
Everyone already knows how fast the Max is, so nothing new to say there.It's a bit annoying that just about every review is of the M1 Ultra. I'll be getting my Max tomorrow, So I'll see what it can do sson enough.
