Mac Studio

Buying Apple’s new “Big Killer”Mac Studio you may wonder, why use M1 Ultra version than M1 Max Model weighs 2 pounds?in accepting The Verge During the interview, Apple gave the answer. It turns out that the difference between the two is mainly caused by the heat dissipation design. In the device equipped with the M1 Ultra, Apple has enabled a copper cooling system, which is much heavier than the aluminum heat sink in the M1 Max. Except for this part of the difference, there is not much difference between the two in the 370W power supply and other components.

Cooling is critical for a compact product like the Mac Studio. There is a lot of space inside the unit for the cooling module and the vents it needs. How to choose a metal material and design it with its characteristics will affect the ability of the entire system to transfer heat. make a huge impact. Copper is used by many people in relatively aggressive PC cooling solutions, and its existence can theoretically help Mac Studio reduce the frequency of fan rotation.

Seeing that the M1 Ultra needs such a “heavy” cooling system to support it, it should mean that the possibility of this chip appearing on a laptop is probably very low.
