Speed Bump

Published:

New MacBook Pro day here! I'm finally retiring my mid-2014 x86 based 15" MacBook Pro in Silver with a 14" MacBook Pro with the M5 Pro CPU.

I've heard a lot about the speed improvements of the various M-series chips since their debut (and use a M2 MacBook Pro at work). But I was really curious how much faster the new laptop is.

So I did the only reasonable thing, I loaded Geekbench 6 on both an ran a benchmark. The results are impressive:

Single-Core Score +375.5% M5 x86 Multi-Core Score +768.4% M5 x86 File Compression +726.6% M5 x86 HTML5 Browser +967.3% M5 x86 Object Detection +1651.7% M5 x86

I'm certain I'm going to love this laptop for a long time. But I hope it isn't for 12 years this time.
