![]() As a result, these processors may not require exceptionally high clock speeds or an extensive number of cores to deliver impressive performance across a variety of workstation-grade tasks. Apple, on the other hand, typically incorporates a multitude of specialized accelerators in its M-series SoCs, with the M3-series being no exception. However, it does offer a taste of computational capabilities of CPUs without using specialized accelerators. It is important to note that Geekbench 6 is a synthetic benchmark, and may not always accurately represent performance in real-world applications. ![]() We are eager to see what the M3 Ultra - probably consisting of two M3 Maxes with 32 CPU cores in total, will be capable of. Those machines are going to compete against workstations based on AMD's Ryzen Threadripper 7000 and Intel's Xeon W9-3400-series processors with vast core counts and we can only guess which platforms deliver better results. Apple's M3 Max will be used not only for Apple's MacBook Pro lineup, but also for desktop Apple Studio workstations. There is another aspect we could look at. Meanwhile, Apple's 16-core M3 Max delivers results comparable to those of AMD's 16-core Ryzen 9 7950X and Intel's 24-core Core i9-14900K, which is not bad at all. M3 cannot beat either AMD's Ryor Intel's Core i5-14600K, both of which of course consume considerably more power. When it comes to multi-threaded workloads, results of Apple's M3 and M3 Max are a mixed bag in Geekbench 6. ![]() On the other hand, Apple's M3 and M3 Max deliver comparable performance at a fraction of the power (at the end of the day, these are processors designed primarily for notebooks) and at a circa 30% lower frequency. On the one hand, it is also evident that when it comes to raw performance, sheer frequencies of gaming CPUs enable it to be considerably ahead of Apple's M3 SoCs despite the fact that the latter are made on TSMC's leading-edge N3 process technology (3nm-class). As a result, Apple's M3 and M3 Max (reviewed by ) offer Geekbench 6 single-thread performance comparable to that of AMD's Ryzen 9 7950X (which runs at up to 5.70 GHz) and Intel's Core i9-14900K (which runs at up to 6.0 GHz), which is quite an achievement. ![]()
