Single-core CPU is 19% slower than an M5, 30% faster than an M1.

And 90% faster than the M2 Ultra and the Mac Pro.

Oh, so not even your Mac Pro.

No, this is the current Mac Pro.

It is 19% faster in single core than the current $7,000 Mac Pro that you can buy right now at Apple.com.

This, the MacBook Pro Neo, has 19% faster single core performance.

That's amazing.

And it is 2.5 times faster than the single core performance of my Mac Pro, because I know you want to know that.

just FYI multicore it is 1% faster than the M1 or 1% slower again the caveat with a Geekbench source if you look them up Geekbench has like a leaderboard and I like pulled from that but if you look at individual results they vary all over the place because I don't know people are putting their things on ice packs or like who knows like the numbers always vary by a few percent so don't like when I say 1% faster just assume it's like it's a wash but these are the numbers that I pulled out of the top charts right so I have the exact numbers here in the document

But, you know, who knows how exactly they are because, again, it varies.

It's two times slower in multi-core than the M5.

It's 2.5 times slower than the M2 Ultra and the Mac Pro.

So the $7,000 Mac Pro is 2.5 times as fast in multi-core than Apple's cheapest phone chip-powered laptop.

Yeah.

And my Mac Pro is 20% faster in multi-core.

So go my Mac Pro.

It's ridiculous.

GPU wise, it is 2.2% slower than the M1.

So I would call that a wash.

It is 2.3 times slower than the M5, seven times slower than the M2 Ultra and the current Mac Pro and four times slower than my Radeon Pro Vega 2.
