<\/div>\n

Much like the tiny-but-beastly Mac Studio<\/a>, the Apple Studio Display is the type of device only Apple<\/a> could make.<\/span><\/p>\n

No, I\u2019m not talking about the fancy metallic design, 5K resolution, nor its sextuple speaker system. Nor am I even making fun of the $1,600 price tag.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, I\u2019m talking about the sheer flex of building a display that, for some reason, is basically as powerful as the company\u2019s latest entry-level iPad. Apple would have probably helped many more users by making a really nice<\/span> $500 monitor<\/span><\/a> instead, but no<\/span>, it just had<\/em> to make an absurdly overpowered monitor instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apple already confirmed the monitor is using Apple\u2019s A13 processor \u2014 the same chip used in the 2021 iPad. Although that processor was released in 2019 with the iPhone 11, Apple\u2019s lead in mobile chip design means it still goes toe-to-toe with the latest chips from Qualcomm and Google. It also uses a similar 12MP front-facing camera for extra-nice video calls with Center Stage support.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, we later found out (via<\/span> Daring Fireball<\/span><\/a>) that the Studio Display runs on a full-fledged version of iOS 15. And furthering Apple\u2019s flex, developer<\/span> @KhaosT<\/span><\/a> on Twitter recently noticed the screen comes with <\/span>64GB<\/span><\/i> of built-in storage \u2014 again, the same as the iPhone 11 and 9th Gen iPad \u2014 despite only using 2GB of the available space.<\/span><\/p>\n

The only other major specification we don\u2019t know is RAM, but given how closely the other specs line up with the iPhone 11 (4GB) and 2021 iPad (3GB), I\u2019d be surprised if it\u2019s much lower.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, this display, which does little else besides offering a webcam and nice speakers, offers comparable performance to many of the best smartphones on the market right now, and even some PCs.<\/span><\/p>\n

For reference, the A13 Bionic<\/span> scores roughly<\/span><\/a> 1,300 for single-core performance and 3,300 for multi-core performance on GeekBench 5. Here\u2019s how some other devices compare in both single-core and multi-core performance, respectively (these are rough estimates based on results in the Geekbench Browser<\/a>):<\/span><\/p>\n
