Shortly before the new Mac Studio and Mac Pro go on sale, the M2 Ultra, which powers both computers, appeared on an older version of Geekbench, displaying single-core and multi-core increases over the M1 Ultra. Keep in mind that the most recent Geekbench 6 version was not utilised to test Apple’s latest and greatest SoC, so the difference you’re about to observe will most likely change slightly from this benchmark.
The Geekbench 5 scores were evaluated by the HA-MAC-News Facebook page, demonstrating that the Mac Studio equipped with the M2 Ultra in a 24-core configuration can give some significant single-core and multi-core performance.
Apple’s fastest chipset, which is 18 percent quicker than its direct predecessor, the M1 Ultra, also outperforms Intel’s 24-core Core i9-13900K while outperforming AMD’s 16-core Ryzen 9 7950X.
Keep in mind that Apple did not modify the manufacturing process between the M1 Ultra and M2 Ultra, sticking with TSMC’s 5nm node and still managing to earn some substantial multi-core increases along the way.
While it is strange that Geekbench 6 was not utilised to test the 24-core M2 Ultra, Vadim Yuryev was gracious enough to publish the multi-core results on Twitter, but they were calculated by him.
Since the M1 Ultra’s Geekbench 6 result is already registered, with the SoC obtaining a multi-core score of 17,551, the YouTuber claims that the M2 Ultra would have earned a score of 20,710 in the same benchmark based on the 18 percent multi-core differential in Geekbench 5. Of course, we’ll have to wait for the official findings to confirm these assertions, but if his calculations are correct, Apple has done well on this front.
