stop don't order the M2 Ultra Max studio or especially Mac Pro just yet because
the performance numbers have just leaked and honestly you might be better off
buying the M1 Ultra version which you can get for as low as 3 300 on Amazon
and before I get into the league scores and explain why I want to mention that
Apple made it seem like the Mac Studio is blazing fast destroying the old M1
Ultra model in so many tasks but it's actually not that big of a difference at
least in terms of CPU performance so check out these League scores as you can
see it's pushing 1956 single core points and 27
945 for multi-core and yes this is legit we know that because this is an official
geekbench listing showing the model number MAC 1414 which was precisely one
of the Macs leaked within beta code a while back so it is legit we can also
see it's got 192 gigs of unified memory and the cores ran at a maximum of 3.68
gigahertz which matches what we saw with the M2 Max ship within the 16 inch
MacBook Pro but back to the scores that single core matches right up with the M2
Max's single core score now while almost 28 000 multi-core points sounds like a
huge number and a big Improvement it's actually not that much because if we do
the math it's only 18 faster than the M1 Ultra scored in geekbench 5. and now on
top of that what you might not realize is that this 18 Improvement actually
includes the addition of four extra efficiency cores yes the M2 Ultra has a
24 core CPU compared to 20 on the M1 Ultra and yes I am actually able to
calculate the performance difference if those extra four cores weren't actually
there so here's how I did it in previous calculations I discovered that each
efficiency core within the M2 Chip adds an extra 305 points to geekbench 5's
multi-core score and yes the M2 Pro Max and Ultra chips all use the same
efficiency cores directly from the M2 so with four extra ecors on the M2 Ultra
that equals a thousand two hundred and twenty points so if we take that from
the total score of 27945 that brings us down to
26725 making the M2 Ultra just 13 faster than the M1 Ultra if you don't account
for the extra for e-chorus so in reality the M2 Ultra is gaining only 13 from the
core and other improvements alone but guess what the M1 Ultra ran at 3.0
gigahertz multi-core while firing all of the cores at once which is the same as
the M1 Max while we expect the M2 Ultra to run at 3.4 gigahertz basically the
same as the M2 Max currently does and 3.4 gigahertz is around 13 faster than 3
0.0 so believe it or not the M2 Ultra chips performance advantages come down
to basically a very simple 13 overclock of the performance cores as well as the
addition of four more efficiency cores that's it but all in all if you're doing
cpu-based tasks the raw performance difference is only 18 faster so if
that's not a big deal to you why not just buy the 3300 M1 Ultra Max studio on
Amazon using the link below and spend the extra 700 savings on something else
like a new iPad or some mac accessories however I want to point out something
very eye-opening about the M2 ultra's performance in geekbench 6. but before
that I've got to show off our partner four movies Ultra short third projector
which I believe is the best consumer projector you can buy winning the top
pick of 2022 award due to its fully loaded specs like Dolby vision and Atmos
support and 4K alpd 4.0 RGB plus laser quality with 2800 ANSI lumens of
brightness which is so bright you can watch during the daytime with the blinds
open and it can project up to a 150 inch screen with it being just a foot and a
half from the wall offering the best Plug and Play theater experience you can
get running Android TV 11 so check it out using the link below now back to the
M1 Ultra if we take that same 18 Improvement and apply it to how the M1
Ultra performed in geekbench 6 we're left with a score of 20
710 which yes is actually lower than geekbench 5's scores why well because
geekbench 6 is much more realistic than the older version because instead of
duplicating the test for each core version 6 now creates one huge task that
all of the cores have to work on together which is obviously much more
realistic to what you'd get for a real world CPU performance and the problem
with the altered ships is that they suffer from diminishing returns because
they have so many cores working at once and since the M2 Ultra has an extra four
cores compared to the M1 Ultra it'll likely suffer even more but even without
accounting for that the big point I want to make is that in the more realistic
geekbench 6 the M2 Ultra will only be around 44 faster than the M2 Max MacBook
Pro nowhere near the doubling and performance that many people think will
happen with the ultra chip even though it has double the cores that's
diminishing returns for you so in that case some people might even decide to
just save their cash and buy an M2 Max MacBook Pro instead or even the new M2
Max Max studio which is absolutely a great deal now on the other hand we also
have the graphic side of the equation with new leaks and it actually does look
a lot more promising so if you're more interested in graphics than CPU
workloads it might actually be worth spending the full four thousand dollars
on a new M2 Ultra model instead of saving that 700 bucks leaked benchmarks
just dropped for the M2 ultra's GPU specifically gfx benches Aztec Ruins
High tier off-screen 4K test as you can see it now gets 314.8 FPS in this test
compared to 200.9 FPS on the M1 Ultra making it
56.7 faster which is a massive Improvement that right there is telling
me it's definitely worth getting the M2 Ultra if you care about graphics
performance because this test uses a gaming workload which is actually very
realistic now on top of that we could also look at Apple's own performance
charts and see that the M2 Ultra has a huge lead over the M1 Ultra in terms of
3D rendering which hints at Apple potentially fixing the GPU scaling
issues that cause the M1 Ultra to have really disappointing graphics
performance in some tests on top of that Apple showed off this chart of video
transcoding performance showing that the M2 Ultra is significantly faster than
both M1 Ultra and M1 Max which oddly have the same performance which makes it
seem like apple has finally fixed the encoder problem with the new M2 Ultra
chip and it's almost twice as fast which is a massive deal for anybody working
with video so basically the point is that if you're looking on the graphics
side it looks like buying the M2 ultramax studio is definitely worth it
