Apple's M5 Ultra benchmarks leak — and they crush every competitor

Three separate Geekbench 7 entries appeared overnight matching the device identifier 'Mac17,1' — widely believed to be the next Mac Pro — running an Apple-designed chip codenamed Hidra. The runs show a single-core score of 4,820 and a multi-core score of 78,310.

For comparison, AMD's flagship workstation CPU, the Threadripper 7995WX, posts roughly 56,800 in the same benchmark.

The M5 Ultra is expected to be Apple's first chip built on TSMC's 1.6nm-class process and the first to use a unified L4 cache shared across compute and ML accelerators.
