> So pretty comparable.

The Mac Studio almost certainly uses at least half the power

(educated guess, I'm too lazy to go look at all the spec sheets and run the numbers)

It's actually reversed. The GB10 chipset has a TDP of 140w, whereas M2/M3 Ultra pulls over 250w from the wall: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102027

Come on mate ... I think you and I both know I was talking about complete system here, not discrete components.

I'm pretty sure your total package (Dell Pro Max + GB10) will pull more from the wall.

I'm pretty sure you need to look up what you're talking about instead of making a guess.

The Dell Pro Max PSU + enclosure is only rated for 240w, it literally can't pull more than 250w from the wall without shorting itself.

> 240w

280w according to the spec sheet I just looked at.

Also just look at the graphs on Geerling's website. The Mac Studio eats the Dell for breakfast in a number of the tests: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/dells-version-dgx-spa...
