Apple’s M1 Max GPU is at least 3x faster than M1, Metal benchmark shows

CompuScoop Staff October 21, 2021 0

Supposed M1 Max benchmark results reveal the chip's GPU is at least three times faster than the first-generation M1 included in 2020's 13-inch MacBook Pro.

An unconfirmed Geekbench post on Wednesday shows an M1 Max with 64GB of unified memory clocking a Metal score of 68870, which compares to an average score of roughly 21800 for the 13-inch MacBook Pro with M1 chip.

The M1 Max also smashes Metal scores logged for AMD's Radeon Pro 5600M, the most performant GPU offered with last year's 16-inch MacBook Pro, outpacing the former torch bearer by 62%, according to Geekbench.

First Benchmark Test: Apple’s new M1 Max Chip Destroys Intel

CompuScoop Staff October 19, 2021 0

The first Geekbench benchmarks for Apple’s high-end ‌M1‌ Max chip featuring a 10-core CPU and 32-core GPU have appeared and, as expected, it’s not good news for beleaguered Intel.

The chip features a single-core score of 1749 and a multi-core score of 11542, which offers double the multi-core performance of the ‌M1‌ chip that’s in the 13-inch MacBook Pro machine.

Based on these numbers, the ‌M1‌ Max outperforms all Mac chips with the exception of the Mac Pro and iMac models equipped with Intel’s high-end 16 to 24-core Xeon chips. The 11542 multi-core score is on par with the late 2019 ‌Mac Pro‌ that is equipped with a 12-core Intel Xeon W-3235.

We should be seeing additional ‌M1‌ Max and ‌M1‌ Pro Geekbench results in the coming days as the new MacBook Pro models are expected to arrive to customers next Tuesday and media review units will be going out even sooner than that.
