First Benchmark Result Surfaces for Mac Pro With M2 Ultra Chip

The first Geekbench 6 benchmark result (https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/1578788) for the new Mac Pro surfaced today, providing a closer look at the M2 Ultra chip's CPU performance in the desktop tower.

The result lists a single-core score of 2,794 and a multi-core score of 21,453, compared to 1,378 and 10,390 for the highest-end Intel-based Mac Pro with a 28-core Xeon W processor, a configuration that started at $12,999. This means the new Mac Pro is over twice as fast as the fastest Intel-based model, and given that all configurations include the M2 Ultra chip, this performance can be had for a much lower $6,999.

Unsurprisingly, these scores are virtually identical to those that surfaced for the Mac Studio (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/06/10/m2-ultra-chip-benchmarks/) with the M2 Ultra chip a few days ago. The new Mac Pro is aimed at customers who need PCI Express expansion, but anyone else should consider the Mac Studio (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/mac-studio-vs-mac-pro/) for their desktop computer needs, as it can be configured with the M2 Ultra chip for $3,999.



The new Mac Pro has the same overall design as the 2019 model, but it no longer supports graphics cards (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/06/11/apple-exec-discusses-mac-pro-lack-of-egpu-support/) and does not have user-upgradeable RAM due to Apple silicon's unified memory. The computer launched today following pre-orders last week.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: Mac Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/mac-pro/)</div><div class="linkback">Tags: Geekbench (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/geekbench/), Benchmarks (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/benchmarks/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: Mac Pro (Buy Now) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Mac_Pro)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: Mac Pro (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/mac-pro.1)</div>
