Summary
Geekbench 7 results show Apple’s 36-core M5 Ultra topping AMD’s 96-core Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX by 10.8% in multi-core and 46.4% in single-core performance.
3,774 points in single-core versus 2,578 for AMD extended Apple’s lead in lightly threaded work, while the M5 Ultra also won memory-sensitive tests including Photo Editor, HDR and Photo Library.
Ray Tracer and Clang still favored the Threadripper, where its 96 cores delivered leads of up to 58.8% in heavily parallel rendering and mathematical workloads.
The benchmark split highlights a trade-off beyond raw scores: Apple’s chip fits compact systems like Mac Studio, while AMD’s workstation part needs far larger cooling, with LN2 overclocking pushing power draw to 1,000W.
