Every Mac M-series chip, from M1 to M6. CPU is the multi-core score; GPU is the Metal score. Each chip is scored in the Mac that cools it best.
Upgraded versions are the higher-core options of a chip, such as the 32-core M3 Ultra over the 28-core. Turning them off leaves one entry per chip: its base configuration. Chips sold in only one CPU configuration always show.
* Single early result, not yet averaged by Geekbench.
Where a chip has several GPU options, the largest is shown; the GPU core count is listed under each chip. Ultra chips only ship in the Mac Studio and Mac Pro.

The 36-core M5 Ultra in the 2026 Mac Studio: 52,516 in Geekbench 7 CPU multi-core and 366,744 in Metal. Both are single early results, not yet averaged by Geekbench.
The 18-core M5 Max in the 16-inch MacBook Pro (2026), with 35,063 CPU multi-core and 239,641 Metal on its 40-core GPU.
For the CPU, yes: the 18-core M5 Pro scores 33,586, about 15% above the 16-core M4 Max (29,099). For graphics, no: the 40-core M4 Max GPU scores 204,311 in Metal, about 50% above the M5 Pro's 136,053.
About 2.1× in CPU multi-core (17,954 vs 8,564) and 2.6× in Metal GPU (72,672 vs 28,372).
Early results put the 12-core M6 about 27% ahead in CPU multi-core (22,783 vs 17,954) and 28% ahead in Metal (93,217 vs 72,672).
Each chip is scored in the Mac that cools it best, in this order: Mac Studio or Mac Pro, then the 16-inch MacBook Pro, then the Mac mini or iMac, then the 14-inch MacBook Pro, then the MacBook Air. Where a chip has several GPU options, the largest is shown.
