The first benchmark results for the upcoming M5-powered MacBook Pro have surfaced online, and they indicate impressive performance gains.
These scores stem from a Geekbench database entry, showing a single-core result of 4,263 and a multi-core tally of 17,862 — marking a substantial leap forward.
By way of comparison, the M4 chip in the prior MacBook Pro generation achieves roughly 3,770 in single-core tests and about 14,700 in multi-core benchmarks.
Oliver Haslam for AppleInsider:
In fact, these scores are very close to those that we predicted for a future M5 MacBook Air. Based on a previous M5 iPad Pro benchmark leak, we had the laptops scoring 4,230 in single-core tests and 16,988 for multi-core runs.
Just as notable is the fact that the M5 MacBook Pro is now responsible for the fastest Geekbench single-core score yet, beating out the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips.
It’s important to remember that these are just benchmark scores, though. We’ll have to wait for real-world testing of actual workflows before we can paint a true picture of the M5’s performance.
MacDailyNews Take: We can only imagine how the M5 Pro, M5 Max, and hopefully, the M5 Ultra will fly!
