We have always maintained that no benchmark is a perfect representation of every application or workload, which is why we always recommend using multiple benchmarks for evaluating any compute platform, whether it’s a smartphone, a PC, or a server.
However, a few of the changes have us at Tirias Research scratching our heads and questioning the value of some of those changes. The changes to the benchmark were made to address some limitations with the previous generation and to generally make the benchmark a better system-level benchmark. The new version touts some significant changes that drastically change the scores compared with the older Geekbench 4 version. Primate Labs recently released a new version: Geekbench 5. Among the many available, Geekbench is popular as a cross-platform benchmark that tests both single-core and multi-core CPU performance using simulated workloads similar to common applications.

The power consumption is rated at 20W what we also measured under CPU load. The Apple M2 includes 20 billion transistors (up from the 16 billion of the M1) and is manufactured in the second generation 5nm process at TSMC (most likely N5P). The integrated graphics card in the M2 offers 8 or 10 cores and a peak performance of 3.6 TFLOPs.įurthermore, the SoC integrates a fast 16 core neural engine with a peak performance of 16 TOPS (for AI hardware acceleration), a secure enclave (e.g., for encryption), Thunderbolt / USB 4 controller, an ISP, and media de- and encoders. The passively cooled MacBook Air may however suffer from throttling in longer load scenarios.
Therefore, the performance is now near the M1 Pro with 8 cores. In other benchmarks we measured 12 to 15% gains compared to the M1. In our tests, the MacBook Pro 13 with active cooling was able to reach the 18% in Geekbench Multi. The chip features a unified memory architecture for the CPU and GPU cores and supports up to 24 GB LPDDR5-6400 for a bandwidth of up to 100GB/s.Īccording to Apple, the M2 offers a 18% higher CPU performance at the same power consumption level compared to the Apple M1. The architecture should be similar to the A15 (iPhone 13) with Avalanche and Blizzard cores. The efficiency cores (E cluster) clock with up to 2,4 GHz, the performance cores (P cluster) with up to 3,5 GHz and therefore higher than the M1 cores.
The four efficiency cores are a lot smaller and offer only 128 KB instruction cache, 64 KB data cache, and 4 MB shared cache. The big cores offer 192 KB instruction cache, 128 KB data cache, and 16 MB shared L2 cache (up from 12 MB). It offers 8 cores divided in four performance cores and four power-efficiency cores. The Apple M2 is a System on a Chip (SoC) from Apple that is found in the late 2022 MacBook Air and, MacBook Pro 13.
