M5 Chip Achieves Impressive Feat in 14-Inch MacBook Pro Speed Test

[ikramerica]

So, that misses the interesting one which is the M4 Pro which (according to geekbench.com) is ~23000 for multicore.

Interesting because the regular M5 14" MBP and M4 Pro MBP are going to be in competition for a while. Given that not every workflow takes full advantage of multicore, its sounding like the 14" M4 Pro MBP is going to be a lame duck - unless you absolutely need the extra RAM and TB5 - until the M5 Pro comes out.

Y'know it would be nice if Apple could get their ducks in a line just once and have everything up to date on the latest processor family...

This happens and has happened for years going back to the G3/G4 days.

Top Single-Core Geekbench 6 CPU Results​

There are a lot of processors above 4300. Are all of them liquid nitrogen cooled?

Some of those results are invalid, some others non legit, some others from overclocked devices up to 6Ghz

 

[Astuces iOS]

• M5 (14-inch MacBook Pro): 4,263
• M4 (Mac mini): 3,784

Compare apples to apples...one fan device to another
The M5 Max from 16" Mbp can be even higher than 4.263

Sorry I thought I compared against the m4 MacBook Pro 🤣 Ok so let's do it again :

3784/100 = 37,84

4263 - 3784 = 479

479/37.84 = 12,659

So 12.5% for single core...

Would love to see some comparisons against M1 series chips to see how far they've come in last 5 years

This fractured cpu line up is ridiculous.

They seriously need to improve GPU performance more than ever while able to create Mac Pro grade Apple Silicon. At this point, it's joking.

The M5 Ultra could potentially have a 350.000 Metal score, which would put it almost on par with a 5090

yes, all of them

Impressive Europe’s first laptop that doesn’t require a charger…… it runs of Apple magic

The chip is so efficient it doesn’t need power 😂

If they did that, people here would be losing their minds that it isn't being compared to the last generation.

 

[satchmo]

Yes, there are Ultras, Max and Pro and Base chip variants, but this is getting so dizzying when a M1 beats and M5 and M3, and a M3 bests a M4.

 

[MacLawyer]

Every year new m chip gets released will always show as impressive than the last m chip. I don’t get the point of articles like this. When we know it will be impressive than the last one.

As one with basically no life, I find GeekBench scores interesting.🤣

The M5 Ultra could potentially have a 350.000 Metal score, which would put it almost on par with a 5090

If the M5 Max has AI scores with a 4x scaling over the base M5, then even that would be on-par with a 5090 for half-precision AI!

"which is the highest single-core score that has ever been recorded in the Geekbench 6 database for any Mac or PC processor.'

A quick look on the website shows that isn't even close to true

Intel Core i7-12700 4800 MHz: 6705
Intel Core i7-14700K 3400 MHz: 4285

 

[hajime]

What was the RAM amount used in those tests?

 

[Tdude96]

I saw someone post an extrapolation based on this, no idea how accurate their estimates might be.

maybe Apple will add fold-out solar panels

 

[apparatchik]

3914/100 = 39,14

4263 - 3914 = 349

349/39,14= 8,917

So a 9% boost !

That's the M4 Max, and yes, it's the same core, but with a higher wattage / thermal headroom, if you go by the M4, it's more like 16%.

 

[Stenik]

Well when the base chip of one generation outperforms the MAX chip in the prior it's kind of a big ****ing deal...

No, because the M5 chip doesn't allow you to connect more external monitors than the M4. So it's just a speed bump.

Comments like these make me wonder how much people read before complaining.

They did improve the GPU performance. By a fair margin for a year-over-year change.

From a comment on this very post:

There are actually more results than just this, including GPU and AI results.

Metal GPU: 76727 vs ~56989 for M4 (just picked a random representative result)
CoreML GPU: 13172 (single precision), 24682 (half precision), 23672 (quantized) vs 8408, 10078, 9166 for M4

Very nice improvements!

Yeah I replied to a guy who told me this... and I calculated 12... anyways scores can change depending on many factors...

It's nice that iPad is getting so much muscle. Now if only we had more pro apps to take advantage of it.

Yes, but I was talking about graphic performance, Apple silicon has been lagging behind compared to the top PC videocards, now they finally have the chance to catch up

They got the Metal scores wrong, the base M5 is 77000
