If it did, however, it would essentially tie the top Intel i9 12900K chip. So we really don’t know if the M2 achieves up to 2,000 on the single-core Geekbench test.

An 18 percent improvement on that is another 314.6 (315 Geekbench 5 points, yielding a grand total score of 2,063.Īpple doesn’t use Geekbench 5 to confirm that 18 percent faster CPU performance, but rather Final Cut Pro tests. In our own M1-based Mac mini tests from a year ago, we achieved a Geekbench 5 score of 1748. Although just based on a process node enhancement, Apple yields non-trivial performance improvements.Īpple says the M2 is 18 percent faster at the CPU level than the M1. Apple Silicon has now moved to the M2 chip.
