First Benchmarks Surface for New M2 Ultra Chip

The first benchmarks for Apple's new M2 Ultra chip have surfaced on Geekbench 6.

Apple says the M2 Ultra is the largest and most capable processor it has ever created. The chip is built using TSMC's second-generation 5-nanometer process and uses UltraFusion technology to connect the die of two M2 Max chips, doubling the performance. M2 Ultra consists of 134 billion transistors — 20 billion more than M1 Ultra.

Early benchmarks spotted in the Geekbench 6 Results Browser have a single-core score of up to 2837 and a multi-core score of up to 21730. Compare that to the M1 Ultra which scored 2379 in single-core performance and 17565 in multi-core performance. That lines up with Apple's claim that the M2 Ultra is 20% faster in CPU performance.


"M2 Ultra delivers astonishing performance and capabilities for our pro users' most demanding workflows, while maintaining Apple silicon's industry-leading power efficiency," said Johny Srouji, Apple's senior vice president of Hardware Technologies. "With huge performance gains in the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine, combined with massive memory bandwidth in a single SoC, M2 Ultra is the world's most powerful chip ever created for a personal computer."
