TESTED: Apple Mac Studio M1 Ultra: RAW File Conversion, Hasselblad X1D
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
See the test notes for details on hardware configuration and software versions.
The Mac Studio M1 Ultra shines, chewing through 50-megapixel Hasselblad X1D raw files in about 1.1 seconds each. Handily beating-out the 28-core 2019 Mac Pro, which takes 23% longer.
