![]() ![]() There were kludges, but they didn’t work well. When Apple came out with the first 27” 5k model, there were no driver chips capable of driving a 5k display. I believe many iMac 5K users would see the Mac Mini M2 Pro as a great alternative to buying a new Apple display. If Target Displays Mode still existed, the reason and need for the Studio Display would be greatly diminished. “Wish I could simply plug a Mac mini into my iMac display.” Apple just point that performance in a 150 W box, with better CPU performance, but it is probably using 70W aggregate total or so CPU+GPU combined loads, and comes with a bunch of media engines that will take the load off the GPU and CPU for a lot of stuff. So about 250 W total for that performance in total CPU+GPU loads. ![]() The Vega 48 is probably somewhere around 150 W. You'll need to wait awhile for hundreds of tests to get a good average.Ī a desktop Skylake i9 had 125W TDP. Geekbench probably has a +/-15% variation in submitted test scores due to processes doing other stuff on the machine while people test. A little bit better CPU performance though, but the Studio has other things it offers. I don't think you can get a M2 Max Mac Studio until June or later. They are basically the same GPU performance and therefore will be about the same price for the time being. Wish I could simply plug a Mac mini into my iMac display.ĭollars to donuts, the M2 Pro 8+4+19 config will have about the same GPU performance as the M1 Max 8+2+24 config in the base Mac Studio. ![]() Total $4,096 (funny total because it's 2 to the 12th power) <80% of iMac i9 Keyboard and Mouse $298 (keyboard with TouchID) I checked Geekbench and they didn't list any Apple M2 Pro Compute scores for Metal.Īs a comparison, here's my early 2019 iMac19,1 Core i9 8c, 72GB RAM, 2TB SSD, AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 (bought son's fully blown iMac used for animation). Source: Mac Benchmarks - Geekbench Browser ![]() M1 Pro vs M1 Max), the CPU performance gains on the Max vs the Pro of the same core count are very subtle: If you look within the same generation (i.e. The main benefits of the "Max" series are in GPU performance, memory bandwidth (double the Pro series of same generation), and the additional ProRes encoder/decoder. So with the M2 Pro having the potential for the same count of high-performance cores (8) as the M1 Max, it should come as no surprise that the M2 Pro can exceed the M1 Max on a strictly CPU benchmark test. Because the M1 Max has double the number of performance cores compared to the base M2, it outperforms the M2 on multicore (Mac Studio M1 Max: 12336, MBP M2: 8735), which should be expected. Geekbench shows a single-core score of 1756 for the 2022 Mac Studio with the M1 Max (10 core: 8 high-performance, 2 high-efficiency), but 1900 for the 13-inch 2022 MacBook Pro with the M2 (8 core: 4 high-performance, 4 high-efficiency). This is somewhat old news, especially looking at the single-core comparisons. The M2 Pro Mac mini is available for preorder now and will begin shipping by January 24, 2022. Then in December 2022, a separate benchmark leak showed much better performance. In November 2022, for instance, benchmarks for a Mac with the M2 Max leaked online and appeared to show little improvement. However, benchmark tests are also not definitive. It appears that Apple has successfully increased the performance of the M2 range over the already notably fast M1. And more significantly, Geekbench scores for M1 Max were typically 1727 single-core and 12643 multi-core. Note that this is comparing the M1 with the M2 Pro, not the base M2. Previous Geekbench scores for the M1 Mac mini, then, have scores of 1651 single-core and 5181 multi-core. Its single-core score is 1952, and multi-core score is 15013.īenchmark test scores may not give a great indication of how a machine will perform in real-world use, but they do give a point of comparison. It appears to be the new M2 Pro version of the Mac mini, in its 12-core CPU configuration, with 16GB of unified memory. Apple has not yet shipped the Mac mini with M2 Pro, but Geekbench now includes an entry for device identified as "Mac14,12". ![]()
