It is hard to get an objective apples to apples comparison when it comes to quality of Handbrake's SW. But those users should wait until Apple reveals its Mac Pro with Apple silicon to see how the company will address the GPU demands made by professionals in the field. The M1 HW encoding using Handbrake is very fast, but the file size is way too big for my needs. Professionals whose workflows rely heavily on GPU performance will find that the M1 Ultra with either the 48- or 64-core GPU will offer more brute force than the M1 Max. There is one workflow situation where you might be better off not investing anything just yet. If you do need to do heavier photo work, however, the higher RAM limits of the Ultra can come in handy. Again, recognize what your workflow demands, and then pick accordingly.
If you’re a photo editor, the almost identical single-core performance of both models will mean you’re better off with the cheaper version in terms of value. If you’re heavy into ProRes and video codecs such as H.265, having double the accelerators found in the Ultra will give you great performance gains. The multi-core gains speak for themselves–the Ultra is the best of the M1 series. The Mac Studio M1 Ultra can sometimes double the performance of the M1 Max version, depending on your use case. As someone who edits a ton of video in DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro, if handbrake is not performing better on the M1 chip than a 2018 Intel chip with integrated graphics, that sounds like an issue with handbrake not taking advantage of the new chipset.
