Apple's M5 Chip Matches M1 Ultra in Early Benchmarks
Apple's newly unveiled M5 chip demonstrates performance on par with the M1 Ultra in initial benchmark tests.
Apple recently introduced the M5 chip, built on a third-generation 3nm process, and early benchmark results indicate significant performance improvements. The M5 chip, currently available in the 14-inch MacBook Pro, features four performance cores and six efficiency cores, mirroring the configuration of its predecessor, the M4.
In Geekbench 6 tests, the M5 achieved a single-core score of 4,263 and a multi-core score of 17,862. These results place it just 6% behind the M1 Ultra's multi-core performance, a chip previously found in the high-end Mac Studio.
The M5's GPU also shows notable advancements, offering up to 30% higher performance compared to the M4 GPU. The integrated ray tracing engine has been further improved, now in its third generation, and is reported to deliver up to 45% higher performance.
These benchmarks suggest that the M5 chip brings high-end performance to more accessible devices, marking a significant step in Apple's silicon development.
