TESTED: Apple Mac Studio M1 Ultra: Adobe Photoshop CC 2022: Filters — 2X CPU and GPU Cores and Memory = SLOWER
Consult with Lloyd on your computer or photographic purchase, backup strategy, archival and storage strategy, etc.
A big thank-you to B&H Photo for sending the $7999 Apple Mac Studio M1 Ultra 20-core CPU / 64-core GPU/ 128GB / 8TB SSD for review. This is exactly the configuration I would buy excepting a preference for a 4TB SSD (only to keep the cost down).
TESTED
2X the CPU cores and 2X the GPU cores and twice the memory and the same clock speed are slower? Dumbfounded, but repeated tests keep showing the same dismal results for the M1 Ultra.
