Apple M2 Ultra chip Geekbench 6 Metal comes out of the oven, only 10% slower than RTX 4080

CTOnews.com, June 10 (Xinhua)-- following the exposure of Geekbench 5's CPU score, Apple's latest M2 Ultra chip has appeared on the Geekbench 6 platform, showing that its graphics processing power is only 10% slower than Nvidia's RTX 4080 graphics card. RTX 4080 is Nvidia's second fastest desktop graphics card, second only to RTX 4090.

CTOnews.com noted that the M2 Ultra under test has a 128GB unified RAM and 24-core CPU configuration, and has 76 GPU cores. In the Metal test of Geekbench 6, the M2 Ultra chip scored 220674, while the M1 Ultra chip (64 graphics cores) scored 150407. This shows that the M2 Ultra chip has a significant improvement in graphics processing, an increase of 46% compared to M1 Ultra.

For comparison, the RTX 4080 video card scored 245808 on the same test, only 10% higher than the M2 Ultra chip, which means that Apple's self-developed chip is already comparable to desktop graphics cards.

Of course, different tests may have different results, but it is also a testament to Apple's progress in the field of custom chips. We look forward to more surprises when Apple launches the next generation of M3 chips later this year or early 2024.
