Mac Studio with M1 Ultra crushes 28-core Intel Mac Pro in leaked benchmarks.
The new Mac Studio could be an incredible PC, easily outperforming Apple’s most powerful (and expensive) Mac Pro, if leaked benchmarks are accurate. As MacRumors reports, benchmark results for the Geekbench 5 software, which tests the capabilities of a PC’s processor, shows a Mac Studio with a 20-core M1 Ultra scoring 1,793 in the single-core tests, and 24,055 in the multi-core ones. These are impressive numbers, especially when pitted against the Mac Pro with a 28-core Intel Xeon W processor, which scores 11,52 and 19,951 in the same tests. These scores suggest that the M1 Ultra is 21% faster in multicore, and a whopping 56% faster in single-core performance, compared to the 28-core Mac Pro. The single-core performance means that the M1 Ultra is faster than the Xeon W, despite having fewer cores overall. The Intel Xeon W is a powerful professional-grade processor that’s designed for very heavy workloads, so the fact that Apple has come out with chips that can outperform it, is extremely impressive, especially considering the lower power consumption of the M1 Ultra.
