Title says it all. I’m planning to get an M2 Mac Studio soon. Personally, I’m still coming to a decision on the following SoC & RAM options:

SoC:

  • M2 Ultra with 24-core CPU, 60-core GPU, 32-core Neural Engine
  • M2 Ultra with 24-core CPU, 76-core GPU, 32-core Neural Engine

RAM:

  • 128GB
  • 192GB

To current M2 Studio owners, how did you choose your specs and why? Also could you comment on real world performance with regards to your workflow(s)? Thanks! :)

    Developer here. Completely depends on your workflow.

    I went base model and the only thing I regret is not getting more RAM.

    Speeds have been phenomenal when there binaries are native. Speeds have been good when the binaries are running through Rosetta.

    The specs you’re wavering between are extremely workflow specific. You know if your workflow requires the 16 extra GPU cores. You know if your workflow requires another 64 GB of RAM.
