Mac Studio M1 Max 24gpu vs 32gpu

[MayaUser]

Except that doesn't exist in any form, not even as a rumour.

for now, and since the OP is not around here anymore, he already bought it, or he doesnt need it ASAP
So M2 Max will be the way to go if he waits couple of months

It scales linearly. 32 GPU cores are one third faster than 24 cores.

If in doubt, always chose the cheaper option!

Vector processing, the core thing a GPU does, can easily scale exponentially depending on workload FWIW

That's complete nonsense. The total compute throughput of a GPU is roughly:

(number of cores) * (vector width) * (clock frequency)

If you add more cores and rerun this calculation, you get linear scaling, not exponential. The only workload-to-workload variance is that some tasks may scale sub-linearly, because perfect scaling with core count is sometimes hard.

Vector processing is not superlinear magic. If you think it is, you probably don't understand what it actually does.

You can ALWAYS justify waiting on the next upgrade, but you will miss out on what's available now. Of course you should research if a release is imminent, but otherwise, get the tool for the job and move on

Already bought it. Very happy with it.

There would be far less agonizing over this decision if Apple resolved the sound issue (with a statement) and also made something in-between the mini and the Studio. I was very happy with the Studio after I bought one but it took a long time to make the decision after trying to make the mini do what I wanted it to.
