Apple M2 CPU & GPU Benchmarks Surface on Geekbench
The recently announced Apple M2 processor which is set to feature in the new MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro models has been benchmarked. The processor appeared in numerous Geekbench 5 CPU & GPU tests where the chip scored a maximum single-core result of 1919 points and 8928 points in multi-core representing an 11% and 18% CPU performance improvement respectively from the M1. The chip brings significant GPU performance increases achieving a Geekbench Metal score of 30627 points which is a ~42% increase from the M1 partially due to a larger 10-core GPU compared to the 8-core GPU on the M1. These initial numbers largely align with claims from Apple of an 18% CPU and 35% GPU improvement over the original M1.
