Apple is done unveiling its initial M4 series, which includes the M4 Max, which only means that the M4 Ultra remains and will most likely be announced next year when the company announces the Mac Pro, but no word if an updated Mac Studio will be unveiled alongside it. We have already reported about the estimated graphics performance of the chipset, where a content creator calculated that the 80-core GPU of the M4 Ultra beats the desktop version of NVIDIA’s RTX 4090 across both OpenCL and Vulkan APIs, even if it is just a single benchmark. Now, we get our first look at the estimated multi-core figures of Apple’s upcoming workstation SoC, and it effortlessly beats AMD’s Ryzen 9950X while cementing a healthy lead against the M4 Max.
Compared to the M4 Pro, the M4 Ultra is 81 percent faster while also obtaining a massive performance difference against Intel’s 24-core Ultra 9 285K
It was previously estimated that the M4 Ultra’s top-end configuration would offer a 32-core CPU and an 80-core GPU, but the number of performance and efficiency cores were not mentioned in the earlier update. Regardless, Vadim Yuryev, who handles the YouTube channel Max Tech, has shared what he believes are the Geekbench 6 multi-core results if the chipset was tested using the benchmark right now. According to his estimations, the M4 Ultra obtains a whopping 40,012 points in this category, making it 94.7 percent faster than the 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X and 73.8 percent faster than the 24-core Ultra 9 285K.
Then again, we already expected the M4 Ultra to make easy work…
