Its Media Engine supports hardware-accelerated, H.264, HEVC, and AV1 decode with ProRes encode and decode for high-resolution video editing. You can simultaneously play 19 streams of uncompressed 8K ProRes footage with up to five displays. An integrated GPU with hardware-accelerated ray tracing and Neural Accelerators delivers 50% faster performance compared to the previous generation.
With these frameworks and the M5 Max chip, developers can run and fine-tune large AI models locally on their Mac Studio. Apple's developer tools and frameworks automatically optimize performance across the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine, and give developers the ability to use Apple Foundation Models, App Intents to tap into Apple Intelligence features, or their own proprietary AI models to build and run powerful AI workloads entirely on device.
A cluster of four Mac Studio systems can deliver up to a 3x faster AI inference than a single system.
There is now an entirely new version of Siri, powered by Apple Intelligence. It's a profoundly more personal and capable assistant, and much more conversational, with a dedicated Siri app. And you can write and edit with Siri virtually anywhere you type, and use Visual Intelligence with Siri to learn about what's in front of you.
Designed to fit under most displays, it puts tremendous power and connectivity within arm's reach.
And even with all that power, it stays remarkably quiet, so you can process batch video renders or coding agent tasks without interrupting your focus.
Enjoy fast file transfers and smooth video streaming with Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support and a 10 Gb/s RJ45 Ethernet LAN port.
Both feature a camera, mics, speakers, and Thunderbolt 5 for everything from livestreaming to expanding your setup with even more ports.
