The first test results of the latest Apple M1 Ultra processor have appeared. Based on the results, the new Apple processor showed great performance and could compete with one of the most powerful AMD and Intel processors, and performance benchmarks were published by the user benchleaks on Twitter. Here's what he found.
The GeekBench 5 benchmark test showed that the Apple M1 Ultra processor received a single-core score of 1793, and in the multi-core test, it scored 24055 points, compared to the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X processor, which outperformed it by only a small percentage, scoring 25133 points. The source confirms that the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X processor was only 4.5% faster.
The Apple M1 Ultra processor is actually two M1 Max processors connected together using a technology Apple calls UltraFusion. The Apple M1 Ultra processor features a 20-core CPU, with a power consumption of only 60 watts, according to Apple, with 16 high-performance cores while 4 cores focus on energy efficiency. This makes the M1 Ultra more energy efficient compared to the power-hungry 3990X processor with a power consumption of up to 280W.
The M1 Ultra processor comes with a 64-core GPU and a 32-core neural processor, each twice the size of the M1 Max.
The “Memory Bandwidth” on the M1 Ultra is also higher than previous models, reaching 800GB per second, and running on a standardized memory of 128GB. As with other M1 models, all of this memory is available for both the CPU and the GPU.
The Apple M1 Ultra processor has the ability to play up to 18 streams of 8K ProRes 422 video simultaneously. The platform also supports up to five displays, four of which could be 6K Pro Display XDR with a fifth display at 4K resolution.
M1 Ultra Processor Comparison With Intel Core i9-12900K Processor
Compared to the performance of the Intel Core i9-12900K processor, the M1 Ultra processor easily outperforms it in terms of multi-core testing, which is 24055 versus 17204 for Intel, but the results showed a lag in single-cores in favor of the Intel processor, which reached 1997 points, compared to 1793 for Apple.
Keep in mind that these are still just benchmarks based on the industry, and we'll have to wait to see what real performance and tests show.

From my long experience with Intel processors in various versions, I finally used the Apple MacBook Air MXNUMX
I found a big difference in favor of the Apple processor, speed and performance, and what distinguishes it for me is the absence of annoying fans
Of course, the numbers for the rest of the processors will be like this in ideal conditions and the beginning of use
If you use it more, it will reduce performance due to heat and increased energy consumption 😂
Very beautiful
Impressive results, especially in terms of low power consumption, which is reflected in the low temperature of the devices, and thus higher performance. Add to that the processor’s harmony with Apple systems, so it will defeat the performance of any other processor as a result.
