Here’s the multi core Geekbench progression:

M1: 8350

M2: 9700

M3: 11650

M4: 14600

M5: 16650 (estimated)

This is assuming an 8% uplift as mentioned. Also nice.

I wish we could get something other than Geekbench for these things, since Geekbench seems to be trash. For example, it has the Ryzen 7 7700X with a higher multi-core score than the Epyc 9534 even though they're both Zen4 and the latter has 8 times as many cores and is significantly faster on threaded workloads in real life.

There's real value in having a multi-threaded benchmark that doesn't ignore Amdahl's Law and pretend that everything is embarrassingly parallel.

The trick with GeekBench is to scroll down and look at the specific sub-benchmarks that are most relevant to you.

Yeah, a simple SPECint or builtin Python benchmarks would be way more interesting that a proprietary "benchmark" with mystery tasks.

Any benchmark useful to cross compare single user desktop/laptop experience is going to be useless in the datacentre; and vice versa.

Just use xmrig. Smashes all cores.

For reference I have a M4 Pro mac mini, top spec model with 14 cores and score:

  single: 3960
  multi: 22521

I think he is showing the base cpu comparison for the MacMini/MacBooks. There are so many M-series multicore variants it is hard to mention them all.

bhouston|5 months ago

Will the base core count and mix between perf and efficient cores remain the same? That has lead to different scaling factors for the multicore performance than the single core metrics.

Possibly, at least compared to the previous M4 generation. For the lowest tier M models to this point:

  M1 (any):  4P + 4E
  M2 (any):  4P + 4E
  M3 (any):  4P + 4E
  M4 (iPad): 3P + 6E
  M4 (Mac):  4P + 6E
  M5 (iPad): 3P + 6E (claimed)
  M5 (Mac):  Unknown
It's worth noting there are often higher tier models that still don't earn the "Pro" moniker. E.g. there is a 4P + 8E variant of the iMac which is still marketed as just having a normal M4.
