The first-ever M5 MacBook Pro Geekbench CPU benchmark has appeared online, and it proves Apple’s single-core performance claim.
New MacBook Pro with M5 Manages a Single-Core Score of 4,263 in Geekbench, Proving Apple’s Claim of Fastest Single-Core CPU Performance
Announced earlier this week, the M5 MacBook Pro is an incremental leap forward in performance. However, Apple claims that the M5 chip has the fastest single-core CPU there is.
While the M5 MacBook Pro is set for launch on the 22nd of October, the first Geekbench benchmarks have started to show up online, and the numbers are very interesting.
First of all, the M5 chip managed a score of 4,263 when it comes to single-core performance, which happens to be the fastest in the world, proving Apple’s claim. Secondly, the multi-core performance is impressive as well, with the M5 managing a score of 17,862.
We also get to see some extra CPU information with the benchmark as well, with the results showing the base frequency of M5 set at 4.61GHz.
If you’re interested in getting into the finer details of the benchmarks, you can head over to the Geekbench website here.
While these numbers are definitely impressive, I wouldn’t recommend ditching your M4 MacBook Pro for the M5 model just yet. The thing is, Apple has a groundbreaking upgrade planned for next year, with an OLED touchscreen display, and that’s the one you should look forward to.
Upgrading from the M4 to M5 is simply not a good idea. But if you have something with M1, then the upgrade is going to be substantial. And interestingly, Apple is pitching the M5 to users with M1 or an Intel-based Mac too.
