Geekbench benchmark results for Apple's M5 Ultra chip have leaked, showing significant GPU performance improvements. The automated verification process is currently running.
Apple's M5 Ultra chip achieved Geekbench 7 scores of 3,774 single-core and 52,516 multi-core, representing approximately 30-35% performance gains over the M3 Ultra and aligning with Apple's claimed 1.25-1.3× improvements. The new Mac Studio with M5 Ultra starts at $6,799 and launches September 22.
Apple's M5 Ultra chip achieved a 6x multi-core performance increase compared to the original M1, with a 36-core configuration scoring 52,516 in Geekbench multi-core tests. The M5 Ultra Mac Studio, priced at $10.8K for the tested configuration, represents the company's continued success with Apple Silicon despite industry concerns about talent retention.
First Geekbench 7 benchmarks for Apple's M6 Mac mini show significant performance gains, with a 12-core chip running at 4.78GHz delivering 24% single-core and 48% multi-core improvements over the M4 model. The M6 achieves scores of 4,071 single-core and 22,783 multi-core, representing substantial jumps from earlier generations like the M1 and M2.
Apple's M6 chip benchmark results surfaced ahead of next week's Mac mini launch, showing approximately 12% single-core and 27% multi-core CPU performance gains over the M5 chip. The M6 achieves the fastest single-threaded CPU performance across all Macs and PCs in Geekbench 7, validating Apple's performance claims.
A Geekbench 6.3 benchmark of Apple's M6 Mac mini shows single-core and multi-core performance gains of roughly 10% and 20% respectively over the M5, aligning with Apple's claims. Surprisingly, the M6 trails Apple's A20 Pro smartphone chip in single-core performance and clock speed despite better thermal conditions, possibly due to different core design choices between the M-series and A-series.
