In this unconfirmed result, the M5 Max with an 18-core CPU achieved a score of 29,233 for multi-core CPU performance, which tops the 27,726 score achieved by the Mac Studio’s M3 Ultra chip with a 32-core CPU. M5 Max is now the fastest Apple silicon chip ever, and it even topped every other consumer PC processor in the Geekbench database.
In terms of multi-core CPU performance, the M5 Max is up to 5% faster than the M3 Ultra, and up to 15% faster than the M4 Max chip with a 16-core CPU.
Here is a comparison of the multi-core CPU results:
- 16-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Max (18-core CPU): 29,233 (one result)
- Mac Studio with M3 Ultra (32-core CPU): 27,726 (average of all results)
- Mac Studio with M4 Max (16-core CPU): 26,166 (average of all results)
- 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Max (16-core CPU): 25,702 (average of all results)
Stay tuned for coverage of additional benchmarks, including Metal scores for graphics.
The new MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max are available to pre-order now, and they will begin arriving to customers and launch in stores on March 11.
