How Fast is Apple's M5 Ultra Chip? First Benchmark Result is Truly Wild - MacRumors
From MacRumors via USVI News: The first unverified benchmark result for Apple's new M5 Ultra chip surfaced in the Geekbench 7 database today, offering a look at the chip's.
Here is how the highest-end M5 Ultra chip with a 36-core CPU scored:
- Single-core CPU score: 3,774
- Multi-core CPU score: 52,516
Apple never released an M4 Ultra chip. Here are the average scores for the highest-end M3 Ultra chip with a 32-core CPU on Geekbench 7:
- Single-core CPU score: 2,920
- Multi-core CPU score: 39,059
Unsurprisingly, the M5 Ultra is Apple's fastest chip ever. If this Geekbench result is accurate, it has up to around 30% faster single-core CPU performance and up to around 35% faster multi-core performance compared to the M3 Ultra. But, it comes at a steep cost. In the U.S., the Mac Studio with a 36-core M5 Ultra starts at $6,799.
Here is where the M5 Ultra slots in for maximum multi-core CPU performance:
- M5 Ultra: 52,516
- M3 Ultra: 39,059
- M5 Max: 35,119
- M5 Pro: 33,593
- M4 Max: 29,047
- M2 Ultra: 28,789
- M4 Pro: 24,894
- M3 Max: 24,649
- M1 Ultra: 23,328
- M6: 22,783
- M5: 17,948
- M2 Max: 17,387
- M3 Pro: 16,880
- M2 Pro: 16,725
- M4: 15,477
- M1 Max: 14,299
- M1 Pro: 13,914
- M3: 11,650
- M2: 9,809
- M1: 8,582
Based on these scores, the M5 Ultra is up to 2.25× faster than Apple's original M1 Ultra chip and up to 6× faster compared to the regular M1 chip.
As always, real-world performance varies.
The new Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips and the new Mac mini with M6 and M5 Pro chips launch on Tuesday, September 22.
We are still waiting for GPU results for the M5 Ultra to appear in the Geekbench 7 database.

It would be pretty weird if it wasn’t.
So what is better for WoW: A stronger single core M6 or M5 Pro Mac mini?
CPU score worse than M5 Max?? That can’t be correct.
M5 Max gets 4,349 on Single-Core, but M5 Ultra is 3,774
