First Geekbench Score Surfaces for MacBook Pro M1 Max With 2x Faster Multi-Core Performance Compared to M1

[MacRumors]

Just after Apple's event introducing the new MacBook Pro models with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, the first benchmark for the high-end M1 Max chip with 10-core CPU and 32-core GPU appears to have surfaced.

The chip features a single-core score of 1749 and a multi-core score of 11542, which offers double the multi-core performance of the M1 chip that's in the 13-inch MacBook Pro machine.

Based on these numbers, the M1 Max outperforms all Mac chips with the exception of the Mac Pro and iMac models equipped with Intel's high-end 16 to 24-core Xeon chips. The 11542 multi-core score is on par with the late 2019 Mac Pro that is equipped with a 12-core Intel Xeon W-3235.

The machine with the chip in question is running macOS 12.4, which we have seen in our analytics, and Geekbench's John Poole believes the result is legitimate. He initially said there was an issue with the frequency estimation, but he believes that this is an issue with Geekbench and not the processor.

We should be seeing additional M1 Max and M1 Pro Geekbench results in the coming days as the new MacBook Pro models are expected to arrive to customers next Tuesday and media review units will be going out even sooner than that.

But boy those boiled eggs come out tasty!

That's fantastic, but what I'm really interested to see are GPU performance benchmarks. Can the 32-core Max really compete with a laptop RTX 3070 like some people were estimating/calculating months ago? And what about the other configurations we hadn't heard a peep of until now? How do they fare?

 

[alchemistics]

An intel chip performing the same within this form factor would melt through legs like butter

 

[_Spinn_]

That's a beast.

Waiting for the forthcoming Intel meltdown.

AWESOME!
how does that compare to Alder Lake? wondering how much catch-up they still have to do ...

keep your eyes on YouTube ...

I'd like to see some benchmarks comparing the base model 14" with the stepped up 10 core 14".

Wow 24 MHz, that's gonna blow Intel's 386 out of the water

 

[Saturnine]

Well I just ordered one of the new ones. It should be a big step up in speed from my ageing, but trusty, late 2016 model. Single core score 791, multi-core 3200.

ummm, math? Even on Geekbench's site where they don't throw out outliers where people are not running the benchmark standalone, the M1 is 7400. If I double that, lets see 7400 * 2 = 14,800 not 11,542. am I missing something?

So this new M1 Max chip is a bit over 2x faster than a chip that came out 3.5 years ago.

Interesting...

I really hate these Apple Silicon Notebooks. Now I have to buy a pan to make scrambled eggs in the morning! I used to be able to do this on my MacBook after opening three chrome tabs.

i was thinking the same thing my MacBook Air M1 has around 7400 so what gives where is that 2x? Or as this article been writen by a fanboy?

 

[chrisdazzo]

Hot dog! Now, when can I get one of these Max chips in an iMac?

 

[dgdosen]

such firestorm

 

[Marshall73]

I thought the M1 max might have had a higher single core score but it’s almost the same as the M1. Obviously the multi core score is higher due to 8 performance cores vs 4 on the M1 although not double the M1”s multi core score.

 

[gigapocket1]

Just wait until they come out with actual desktop chips.

yeah, i'm really confused too. also the single core performance is about the same. i wonder what the Pro will be

 

[Wildkraut]

Where is RTX? 🤣

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

What a performance!!!
