Apple announced the M2 Ultra chipset at its annual WWDC last month. It is the successor to the last year’s M1 Ultra. The latest chipset powers the Mac Pro and 2023 Mac Studio. Both devices are set to go on sale from June 13th. Now, the M2 Ultra processor has appeared on the Geekbench benchmark platform.
Apple M2 Ultra Geekbench score
The Apple M2 Ultra scored 1,956 and 27,945 points in Geekbench’s single-core and multi-core test results. This particular version of M2 Ultra spotted on Geekbench 5 reveals 192GB RAM on the device and that it runs on the beta version of the macOS 14 Sonoma. It’s worth noting that the scores for the same processor are different on Geekbench 5 and 6 versions. On Geekbench 6, the chipset scores 2,837 and 21,730 points for the single-core and multi-core test results.
As per Apple, the M2 Ultra processor offers up to 20 percent faster CPU performance compared to its predecessor. This means that it is the fastest-ever chipset from the Cupertino-based tech giant. The benchmark performance indicates that the SoC is 10 percent faster than its predecessor in single-core as well as multi-core test results.
The Apple M2 Ultra packs 24-core CPU and 76-core GPU that are claimed to offer 20 and 30 percent improvements respectively. It also has a 32-core Neural Engine that is set to be 40 percent faster. At the WWDC keynote, Apple announced the new Mac Pro is up to 3× faster than the Intel-based model, but that only applies to select “real-world pro workflows like video transcoding and 3D simulation.”
