First Geekbench for MacBook Pro M1 Max with 2x Faster Multi-Core Performance
- shantara 5y agoThe OS version is listed as "macOS 12.4 (Build 21E140a)". I have my doubts about the trustworthiness of this data.
- tecleandor 5y agoIt might be one of the RCs or dev builds for macOS Monterey (12.x)
- shantara 5y agoToday's public RC build has the number of 21A558. It is too different from the one listed in my opinion.
- jmnicolas 5y agoA bit disappointing that single core perf is unchanged, but apparently it's an M1 with more cores.
- bestouff 5y agoI don't like Apple, but I don't find these disappointing at all. For one, I'd love to replace my maxed-out Linux XPS 15 i9 with a maxed-out Linux MacBook Pro - if that worked well. The M1 Max really looks like an exciting processor, I don't know if there's a better match for a laptop today.

- eliasmacpherson 5y agosame ballpark as a 105w ryzen 5900x desktop chip with slight differences in single core/multi core. I'm impressed anyhow.
- DeathArrow 5y agoI would trust more other benchmarks like SPEC or Cinebench. However, even in Geekbench, 5950X reach 21k multicore score and 2300 single core.
- eliasmacpherson 5y agoThanks for the info, I have not paid much attention to the 5950x!
- GrayShade 5y agoDamn, I get 1736 / 17985 with PBO, but without overclocking otherwise. But I wouldn't trust Geekbench across platforms.
- adrian_b 5y agoIf you get only 1736 single-core, then you have probably run the benchmark on Windows. The scores of many benchmarks, especially the scores of single-thread benchmarks, are lower and also much more variable on Windows than either on Linux or on MacOS. My assumption is that this is due to the fact that almost all Windows computers run continuously many junk programs, e.g. antiviruses and the like, in parallel with whatever you are doing, and those interfere with the benchmarks. Running the same benchmark on Linux or maybe on a Windows completely cleaned of garbage and with the useless services stopped, should give results well above 1800 in non-overclocked single-thread.
- PaulKeeble 5y agoIts mostly due to the way Windows switches threads between cores but also scheduling and OS overhead. You can get a lot closer to Linux if you use software to pin the benchmarking threads to a particular core. The tweaks they did for AMD stop the switching moving from the CCX so often but they don't fix the detrimental effect on cache performance of switching threads to different cores ever 10ms.

- Hamuko 5y agoAbout 1.5x faster multi-core performance, not 2x faster.
- fmajid 5y ago50% faster multicore performance compared to my M1 MacBook Air and exactly the same single-core. Fairly disappointing, I would have expected the higher memory bandwidth to contribute something. I've found the STREAM benchmark correlates very well with the kind of performance I need for databases and the like, and in the past upgrading RAM from DDR4-2700 to DDR4-3200 gave a ~10% improvement on Geekbench scores under Linux. The only reason to get one of the new MBPs is the higher RAM capacity (and the amenities of the new chassis, of course), not CPU performance.
