Introduction to the M5 Max Chip
The M5 Max chip has achieved a new record in its first benchmark result.
Meanwhile, this chip has shown impressive performance, topping the scores of other Apple silicon chips.
M5 Max Chip Performance
For example, the M5 Max chip with an 18-core CPU achieved a score of 29,233 for multi-core CPU performance.
Additionally, it topped the 27,726 score achieved by the Mac Studio’s M3 Ultra chip with a 32-core CPU.
However, the M5 Max is up to 5% faster than the M3 Ultra, and up to 14% to 15% faster than the M4 Max chip with a 16-core CPU.
Single-Core CPU Performance
The M5 Max with an 18-core CPU achieved a score of 4,268 in single-core CPU performance.
Therefore, this is the highest single-core score of any consumer PC processor ever, topping the AMD Ryzen 9 series.
Graphics Performance
The M5 Max with a 40-core GPU achieved impressive Metal scores of 218,772 in one result and 232,718 in another.
Meanwhile, these scores are anywhere from 5% to 10% lower than the highest-end M3 Ultra’s average Metal score of 245,053.
Comparison to Other Chips
The M5 Max offers up to 15% faster CPU performance and up to 20% faster GPU performance compared to the M4 Max.
Finally, MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max are available to pre-order now, and they will begin arriving to customers and launch in stores on March 11.
