Price difference between binned and unbinned M3 Ultra is crazy

So yeah as the title says… $1500 to go from the 28 core to the 32 core and from 60 to 80 core GPU is crazy especially considering the RAM remains the same. If we got a RAM increase at least it might be ok-ish but for the same RAM no.

I feel like the configs that make sense at this point for the Studio are the M4 Max 16/40 64GB for $2600 for high end home/light pro use, and the M3 Ultra 32/80 256GB of RAM for $7099 for high end pro use.

Based on my experience the M3 Ultra 32/80 will not have the horse power to fully utilize the 512GB version. So yeah it will fit the models but it will be too slow to run models this big. My M2 Ultra 24/76 192GB as my work computer and it already kind of struggles when it runs model with 150GB worth of VRAM, so the new one would 50-ish% more power for a load basically more than twice as big. 256GB is the more reasonable limit.

I was considering buying a studio for home, so I wanted the base unbinned version of the M3 Ultra, but for 5.5k? Nah… I’ll stick with my MBP at home for now.
