After announcement of the M2 Pro coming in the guise of the new Mac Mini, I decided it was at last time to upgrade my long-standing 2017 iMac Pro. I immediately ordered a 12 Core (8 Performance, 4 Efficiency) M2 Pro Mac Mini with the standard 19 Core GPU. That lasted 2 Days!

Intro
After announcement of the M2 Pro coming in the guise of the new Mac Mini, I decided it was at last time to upgrade my long-standing 2017 iMac Pro. I immediately ordered a 12 Core (8 Performance, 4 Efficiency) M2 Pro Mac Mini with the standard 19 Core GPU. This was packaged with 32GB of main memory and a 512GB SSD.
It came with Ventura installed and I fought it for two days trying to get reliable glitch free audio from my legacy Digigrid IOS sound interface hardware. I had problems with the audio interface UI and when I did get things working, I could hear dropouts on simple playback.
I concluded that my issues were maybe two-fold. Ventura and Waves Soundgrid Studio were not getting on and secondly, maybe I should have opted for the 10Gbit network interface (option on the M2 Pro Mac Mini) which would have maybe addressed the audio network glitching in Soundgrid.
I will never know… after two days I took the M2 Pro Mac Mini back to the Apple store in Reading and exchanged it for an M1 Max Mac Studio running on Monterey. The Mac Studio has been a much better experience and I will keep it.
What are the performance differences between the M2 Pro and M1 Max Mac Studio and why am I much happier with this solution? How do the latest Apple Silicone systems stack up against the older Intel 10 Core Xeon system with top end Vega 64 GPU found in the iMac Pro?
