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

Marshall73 said:
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.

Yes, the M1 seems to hold up pretty well doesn't it. The M1 is definitely the go-to chip for a standard day-to-day machine. It's to be expected really since I'm sure the M1, Pro and Max are basically different version of the same processor. The biggest difference seems to be the GPU side. I wonder how the new ones match up in reality to their PC counterparts.

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?

i think that is a misprint. its closer to 2x faster than the intel 2.4ghz 16" at 6800 but still...
 
This is exciting!!! I was really hoping for a new Mac mini. But I'm still excited because I know these chips will trickle down eventually.

Just ordered a 14 inch - even with the entry level M1 Pro it's going to be a smidge faster than my late 2013 Core i5... Screenshot 2021-10-18 at 21.40.20.png

I am pretty amazed by my M1 Mac Mini. Did a video editing job with iMovie and something that would turn my i7 Macbook Pro into a jetplane was effortless.

I'm sure I'll be fine with the base model Macbook Pro (even as a hobbyist musician/creative and professional dev). Seeing all the options to go even faster is kinda crazy.

I have the same exact 2018 i9. Apple is offering around $1100 USD in a trade-in. I might do it.

no such thing as trade ins where I live. I might try selling it but I doubt anyone will want to buy such an old machine for that amount of money.

I just looked up a few. the 11900K is about 12000 with 8 cores, the i9-12900K with 16 cores is 17000, the i7-11700K is about 11000 but have ridiculous TDP, up to 165 W, guess that rules out laptops

Thanks, and agree on TDP, so we should only compare "comparable" laptops, whenever they become available with Alder Lake :rolleyes:

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.

Comparing this to a M1 24" iMac 8/8/16/1TB 3.2 GHz M1 running MacOS 12.0.1 RC.

Geekbench 5.4.1 Score
Single-Core Score = 1747
Multi-Core Score = 7720
Metal Score = 21950
 
about 50% faster single and multi-core than my loaded Core i9 iMac that turns 3 in march. Very exciting.

Why? It's the same single core.
 
I've gotta say, I calculated 13,000 as an estimate a few months ago, for a 10-core M processor.
It's a hell of a beast, don't get me wrong, especially for a laptop, but I set my own expectation too high and now I look at that, and I'm like "ok".

The M1 benches 7,700 and the M1 Max benches 11,500. It's not twice as powerful.
 
a benchmark set I stated a while ago. PRO user for VFX. using multi core for Houdini water simulations and GPU for rendering in Maya/mantra/redshift
