We won’t see the arrival of the new Mac Studio in stores for a few days, but there are already those who have managed to filter the apparent landmarks of your M1 Ultra chip and post them on Geekbench. The results are very close to what Apple promised: its performance surpasses even the most powerful Mac Pro.
A “semi-pro” Mac that sweeps the Mac Pro with an Intel chip
The Geekbench scores obtained by the M1 Ultra chip and which already reflect its website are 1,793 test points single-core and 24,055 in tests multicore. These are respectively 56% and 21% faster results than the results of a Mac Pro with a 28-core Intel Xeon W chip.
Although it should always be emphasized: it does not mean that we will see this performance increase in everything we do. There will be certain actions in which we will notice it more, but if, for example, we use an M1 Ultra for basic uses such as browsing the Internet, we should not notice anything compared to what the M1 chip already gives us .
We should start getting more extensive reviews and more intricate testing as soon as the press gets their hands on Mac Studio. And that should be before its March 18 release, so the wait won’t be very long.
At the moment, early signs are good, as reservations of the M1 ultra model are already taking 6-7 weeks to ship to the US. In Europe the expeditions are getting closer as I write these lines: from April 7th to 19th.
