That's a pretty small win in MC and a much bigger loss in SC. I'm sure some people will have a workload which justifies it, but that's gotta be a hard sell for many.

Be nice if they brought the ultras out at the same time as the rest wouldn't it?

I don’t see the point of the m3 ultra except more max memory? (For AI customers I guess?)

Sure in Geekbench the M4 Max and M3 Ultra are close. I would be more curious how it stacks up in Passmark or Cinebench. Who well Geekbench truly scales is at least an open question since it's largely a black box.

Agreed.
And then there's the GPU - The compute benchmarks here, and ML performance will be interesting to see.
