Apple Z1U4000JJ Mac Studio Desktop M5 Max 64GB Unified Memory 1TB SSD in Silver

Brawn of a new age. Apple Mac Studio Z1U4000JJ is a compact Silver professional desktop powered by M5 Max and built for creators, developers, engineers, and other demanding users. Its 18-core CPU, 40-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, Neural Accelerators, hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and 614GB/s memory bandwidth provide a broad foundation for CPU, graphics, media, and AI work. With 64GB of unified memory, the system can keep large projects, complex scenes, and local models moving across a shared high-bandwidth pool, while the 1TB SSD provides solid-state space for apps, media, project files, and local data.² Compared with Mac Studio with M1 Max, Apple reports up to 2.5x faster CPU performance, up to 4.9x faster GPU performance, and up to 10.7x faster AI performance.¹

That architecture is made for ambitious workflows across creative, technical, and scientific fields. Photographers can process high-resolution RAW images, developers can compile large codebases, and visual artists can shape real-time 3D graphics, motion projects, AI-generated imagery, and ray-traced games. Dedicated media hardware accelerates H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and ProRes RAW, with two video encode engines, two ProRes encode and decode engines, and AV1 decode. Those resources also support demanding work such as 8K video editing, rendering, AI training, DNA sequencing, and running large language models locally.

Mac Studio is designed to place substantial performance and useful connections within easy reach. Its compact enclosure fits beneath most displays, while the internal thermal system is engineered to sustain intensive work with low operating noise. Front USB-C ports and an SDXC card slot simplify everyday media access; rear Thunderbolt 5, USB-A, HDMI 2.1, 10Gb Ethernet, and headphone connections help build a flexible multi-display studio. The Apple N1 wireless networking chip adds Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread, while macOS is optimized around Apple silicon graphics, memory, and machine-learning capabilities. Together, the hardware and software create a focused desktop for professional video and audio production, software development, design, photography, engineering, scientific computing, and advanced AI work.

Key Features

AI Built Into the System

M5 Max combines its 16-core Neural Engine with Neural Accelerators to handle sophisticated machine-learning tasks directly on the desktop. Local workflows can include large language models in LM Studio Bionic, image generation with Stable Diffusion and FLUX in Draw Things, Magic Mask in DaVinci Resolve, Roto Brush in Adobe After Effects, and coding agents in Xcode.

Apple Intelligence brings intelligent capabilities into macOS and applications, using on-device processing and Private Cloud Compute to help protect personal information. Siri AI is designed as a more personal, conversational assistant, and Apple also highlights description-generated Shortcuts plus Safari tab grouping and Notify Me.³

Thunderbolt 5 for a Flexible Studio

Four rear Thunderbolt 5 ports deliver up to 120Gb/s for high-bandwidth storage and other demanding peripherals. They can support workflows involving genlock video synchronization, display daisy chains, clustered compute, and compatible external PCIe expansion chassis.⁴

macOS for Apple Silicon

macOS is designed around the chip's graphics, unified memory, and machine-learning capabilities. Native professional and AI-ready applications include Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Photoshop, and Xcode, giving creators and developers a software environment tuned to the underlying hardware.

Designed With Recycled Materials

Apple reports 35% recycled content by product weight, including 100% recycled aluminum in the enclosure and several thermal-module parts. The packaging is 100% fiber based and uses recycled or responsibly sourced fibers.⁵

Footnotes:

¹ Performance comparisons are up to claims versus Mac Studio with M1 Max. Results vary by the compared model, application, workload, configuration, and test conditions.

² Actual formatted storage capacity is lower than 1TB.

³ Apple Intelligence, Siri AI, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, Thread, and application features may depend on software version, language, region, network, compatible equipment, or service availability. Apple states Siri AI in English is coming later in 2026.

⁴ External PCIe expansion requires a compatible external chassis.

⁵ The recycled-content percentage excludes packaging and in-box accessories. Apple's fiber-based packaging calculation excludes adhesives, inks, and coatings.

⁶ Display support varies by resolution and refresh rate. Supported arrangements include four displays up to 6K at 60Hz or 4K at 165Hz plus a fifth up to 5K at 60Hz over HDMI, or two displays up to 8K at 60Hz, 5K at 120Hz, or 4K at 240Hz plus a third up to 5K at 60Hz over HDMI. Displays are sold separately.
