M2 Ultra Chip Benchmark Results
The M2 Ultra Chip shows impressive performance gains in various benchmark tests, making way for an even better experience with Apple’s latest line of MacBooks. The chip has shown significant improvements in both Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core scores, as demonstrated by the results obtained from testing the M2 Max powered computers.
Geekbench 6 Single-Core and Multi-Core Scores
In one set of Geekbench tests with an M2 Max computer running at a clock speed of 3.68 GHz, the single-core score reached 2027, resulting in a 15.5% improvement over its predecessor, the M1 Max. Furthermore, the multi-core score of this M2 Max computer reached a remarkable 14888, showcasing a 20.7% improvement over the M1 Max.
Reviews and Performance Comparisons
According to Engadget, the M2 chip (10 GPU cores) has shown considerably faster results in almost every benchmark compared to the M1 MacBook Pro. In Geekbench 5’s multi-core test, the M2 chip scored nearly 9,000 points, while the M1 MacBook Pro scored closer to 7,000 points.
The performance gain is also evident in other benchmark tests, such as the Geekbench’s Compute benchmark and Cinebench R23. In the Cinebench R23 test, the M2 chip scored 1,300 points higher than the M1 machine. Although the performance bump might not be enough for current M1 MacBook Pro owners to make an upgrade, it shows that Apple has made significant strides with its sequel chip.
Battery Life and Overall Experience
Along with remarkable performance improvements, the M2 MacBook Pro also offers solid battery life, clocking in at over 17 hours in benchmark tests. This lasting power, combined with the impressive performance gains, ensures a satisfying experience for new M2 MacBook Pro users.
Comparison to M1 Ultra and Intel-based Mac Pro
The M2 Ultra Chip’s benchmark results reveal impressive performance gains when compared to both the M1 Ultra and the 28-core Intel-based Mac Pro. With faster CPU and GPU performance, the M2 Ultra offers significant advantages over its predecessors and competitors.
20% Faster CPU Performance than M1 Ultra
Geekbench results show that the M2 Pro and M2 Max in the new MacBook Pros have single-core and multi-core scores of around 1,900 and 15,000, respectively. These results indicate that the M2 Ultra Chip offers up to 20% faster CPU performance compared to the M1 Pro and M1 Max. This impressive improvement aligns with Apple’s advertised claims and showcases the potential productivity boost offered by the M2 Ultra Chip.
2x Faster Overall CPU Performance than 28-core Intel-based Mac Pro
While comparing the M2 Ultra Chip’s performance to the 28-core Intel-based Mac Pro, it has become evident that the M2 Ultra offers twice the overall CPU performance. This significant increase in CPU performance highlights the competitive edge offered by the M2 Ultra-powered MacBooks compared to the Intel-based alternatives.
Significant Price Difference
Despite its outstanding performance improvements, the M2 Ultra Chip’s price remains considerably lower than the Intel-based Mac Pro alternatives. This attractive price point, coupled with the impressive performance gains, makes the M2 Ultra an even more appealing option for consumers looking to upgrade their MacBooks without sacrificing performance.
Mac Studio vs. Mac Pro
When comparing the Mac Studio with M2 Ultra Chip to the Mac Pro, there are notable differences in terms of expansion options and pricing. While the Mac Pro offers more PCIe expansion slots, the Mac Studio with the M2 Ultra offers significant cost savings, making it a more affordable option for users seeking high performance without the added expense of the Mac Pro.
Mac Pro Offers Six PCIe Expansion Slots
The Mac Pro stands out from the Mac Studio by offering six PCIe expansion slots, providing users with greater flexibility for connecting additional peripherals and devices. This feature may be attractive to professionals who require a higher level of customization and expandability in their workstations. The Mac Studio, on the other hand, delivers powerful performance in a more streamlined package with fewer expansion options.
Mac Studio with M2 Ultra Costs $3,000 Less
One major advantage the Mac Studio with the M2 Ultra Chip has over the Mac Pro is its significantly lower price point. The Mac Studio can cost up to $3,000 less than the Mac Pro, making it a more budget-friendly option for users who require impressive computing power without the premium price tag. This cost difference, combined with the impressive performance gains of the M2 Ultra Chip, makes the Mac Studio an appealing option for professionals and creatives alike.
