Hardware-accelerated ray tracing enables more realistic lighting, reflections and shadows in supported applications, helping deliver detailed graphical output without the need for a separate graphics card.

Accelerate AI Processing

A dedicated 16-core Neural Engine provides fast on-device processing for supported AI and machine learning workloads. Combined with 460GB/s memory bandwidth and the unified memory architecture, the M5 Max can efficiently move data between the CPU, GPU and Neural Engine during demanding applications.

Edit and Process High-Resolution Video

The M5 Max features a dedicated Media Engine with hardware acceleration for H.264, HEVC, ProRes and ProRes RAW. A dedicated video decode engine, two video encode engines and two ProRes encode and decode engines help accelerate demanding video workflows, while AV1 decode support provides compatibility with modern video content.

Keep Applications Running Smoothly with Unified Memory

This configuration includes 36GB unified memory, providing a shared high-speed memory pool accessible by the CPU, GPU and Neural Engine. With 460GB/s memory bandwidth, the M5 Max is equipped to efficiently handle demanding applications and large data sets without relying on separate CPU and GPU memory pools.

Store Applications and Projects on a 512GB SSD

The integrated 512GB SSD provides fast local storage for macOS, applications, documents and active project files. Additional external storage can be connected through the Mac Studio's high-speed Thunderbolt 5 ports, allowing storage capacity to be expanded when required.

Expand Your Setup with Thunderbolt 5

The Mac Studio provides four rear Thunderbolt 5 USB-C ports, supporting data transfer rates of up to 120Gb/s, alongside USB 4 up to 120Gb/s, USB 3 up to 10Gb/s and DisplayPort 2.1. These high-speed ports provide connectivity for external storage, displays, docks and other professional peripherals.

Stay Connected with 10Gb Ethernet and Wi-Fi 7

The Mac Studio provides fast and flexible networking for professional workflows, featuring 10Gb Ethernet with support for 1Gb, 2.5Gb, 5Gb and 10Gb Ethernet through its RJ-45 port. Wireless connectivity is provided by Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), while Bluetooth 6 enables connections to compatible wireless peripherals and accessories. Thread networking technology is also built in for compatible connected devices.

Expand Your Workspace Across Multiple Displays

The M5 Max Mac Studio supports multiple external displays, providing the flexibility to create expansive professional workspaces. Display connectivity is provided through Thunderbolt 5 and HDMI 2.1, allowing compatible high-resolution displays and other visual equipment to be connected directly to the system.

Connect Front-Mounted Peripherals Easily

Two front USB-C ports support data transfer rates of up to 10Gb/s, providing convenient access to compatible storage devices, peripherals and accessories without needing to reach around the rear of the Mac Studio. A front-mounted UHS-II SDXC card slot also makes it easy to import photographs, video and other media from compatible memory cards.

Connect Professional Displays and Peripherals

Alongside Thunderbolt 5, the Mac Studio provides HDMI 2.1 for additional display connectivity and two rear USB-A ports supporting up to 5Gb/s. A 3.5mm headphone jack provides support for high-impedance headphones, while HDMI supports multi-channel audio output.

Compact Desktop Design

The Mac Studio combines its high-performance hardware with a compact 19.7 x 19.7 x 9.5cm aluminium enclosure, providing substantial processing capability in a space-efficient desktop system. The M5 Max configuration weighs 3.6kg, making it well suited to professional desktop environments where workspace efficiency is important.
