Someone has got their hands on a M2 Ultra earlier than the rest of us.

220,000 in Geekbench 6 Metal is a big uptick from the M1 Ultra (150,000). It puts the Metal performance at 10% lower than a RTX4080, with 2.5x less power consumption. Seems as though those scaling issues may have been dealt with. Fairly impressive IMO.

M2 Ultra Is Only 10 Percent Slower Than The RTX 4080 In Latest Geekbench 6 Metal Benchmark

In the latest Geekbench 6 Metal scores, Apple’s latest M2 Ultra is only slightly slower than the RTX 4080, which is impressive to see

While numbers are great, it should not be the only standard for performance. I'm more looking forward to the real world performance comparisons in video editing, topaz AI and other heavy memory and gpu intensive software. But it seems the scalings have been fixed a bit and hoping more software optimizations from thirdparty software will boost the m2 ultra. The less power consumption and running cool is big deal as always.

Didn't r/Apple or r/hardware ban URLs to wccftech for clickbait?

I'd wait for Anandtech, ArsTechnica or other more reputable reviewers to talk about the benchmark scores.

Agreed. I’m mostly interested in Davinci Resolve performance given that’s where all my heavy lifting is, but promising numbers regardless, and a decent guide until we get real world stress tests in a few days time.

Strangely enough there are more numbers showing up on GB but not sure if some are mac pro, mac studio or base studio.

It’s still slower than a 6900xt. which I have. And is a sad old card at this point. But it is good progress and if the extreme M3 continues to scale well, that may bode well *if* they can put out an upgrade in 1 year.

The thing is by the time the M3 turns up the NV 5090 RT King will arrive along with AMD RDNA-4 which i expect will blow any M3 away. The Mac pro 8.1 is only released to put a time frame on Mac pro 7.1 support so they can develop for AS only and finally close the door on the Apple ecosphere, your either in or your out. it will also put and end to hackintosh machines with out intel support and mean the end of opencore.

Unfortunately, this is 100% spot on. A truly sad time in computer science history...

Why do you think apple wont release drivers for the 7900xtx because it would beat that score. Can it run OpenGL bench the M2?

Regardless, it still an excellent score and more than enough performance for most users.
