In the past years, Apple abandoned Intel architecture and switched to ARM processors designed by itself, and introduced many Mac devices during this time. By introducing the Mac Pro with the WWDC 2023 it held last week, the company switched the entire Mac family to ARM processors, and introduced the M2 Ultra chipset at this event. The benchmarking scores of the chipset, which looks very attractive on paper, have emerged.

M2 Ultra is 18% faster than the previous generation

The first test results have emerged for the M2 Ultra processor, which technology giant Apple introduced with the Mac Pro at the Developer Conference. HA-MAC-News on Facebook shared the Geekbench 5 test result of the new chipset. According to the image, the M2 Ultra with 24 CPU cores scores 1956 points in the single-core test and 27945 points in the multi-core performance. According to these scores, it turns out that the M2 Ultra is 18% more powerful than the M1 Ultra.

In addition, with this test page, Apple’s new generation processor can be compared with the most powerful products of AMD and Intel. Although Intel’s flagship i9-13900K is ahead of the M2 Ultra with a single-core score of 2322, it lags behind Apple in multi-core score. The Ryzen 9 7950X, on the other hand, performs similarly to the i9, with a single core score of 2290 and a multi-core score of 27371.

M2 Ultra chipset M! Producing in TSMC’s 5nm process like Ultra, Apple, however, seems to have made serious improvements in multi-core performance. Let’s also mention that the Mac used in the test has 192GB of memory. More detailed performance scores of the M2 Ultra will emerge as Apple ships the new Mac Studio and Mac Pro products to customers.
