Transcript

Today, we're introducing two new Macs. Hi. I'm Shelly Goldberg, and my team helps develop the Mac here at Apple. Let's start with everyone's favorite, the Mac mini. It may be mini, but it's mighty. And it was right here in our labs that our team worked on making the Mac mini even mightier. We wanted to give you even greater performance in this next generation for things like AI, video editing, app development, and more. We're really proud of a newly optimized thermal design. That paired with the all new M6 chip is the key to taking Mac mini to the next level. Thanks to that combination, you now get 40% faster CPU performance and two times faster graphics and storage. And that's not all. We included an even more advanced GPU with neural accelerators and a new dual 16 core neural engine no that AI performance is up to four times faster. All this while maintaining Mac mini's ultra compact size that you know and love. And if your workflow is even more demanding, we've got Mac mini with m five pro. Okay. Now what about our most powerful Mac best, Mac Studio? We know that Mac Studio is essential for VFX artists, composers, cinematographers, and AI researchers. So we built in m five Max and the groundbreaking performance of m five Ultra. No, Mac Studio has up to two times faster graphics and up to four times faster AI performance. We're talking up to five twelve gigs of unified memory and 1.2 terabytes per second of bandwidth. Maybe you wanna color grade uncompressed eight k footage or blaze through complex three d scenes and motion graphics? Mac Studio can fly through that too. Wanna run the biggest LLMs right on your desk with complete privacy and no cloud tokens needed? There's nothing like Mac Studio. And like Mac mini, we updated Mac Studio's thermal design to keep pace with our most powerful silicon. That means m five max and m five ultra can not only deliver, but also sustain peak performance, all while staying cool and quiet on your desk. The new Mac mini and Mac Studio are faster and better than ever, pushing the limits of what you can do on a desktop. We can't wait to see what you'll do with tier.
