A preliminary benchmark result for Apple's upcoming M6 chip has emerged on the Geekbench 7 database, as reported by MacRumors. The new Mac mini will mark the first device to feature the M6 chip, which is built on a 2nm process. The benchmark results showcase the M6 chip's performance advantages compared to its predecessor, the M5 chip, as well as other models.
In single-core CPU performance, the M6 chip scored 4,071, representing up to a 12% improvement over the M5 chip's score of 3,641. The M6 chip also demonstrates a 27% boost in multi-core CPU performance, reaching 22,783, compared to the M5's 17,948. Apple claims the M6 chip boasts the fastest single-threaded CPU performance in the world, and the 4,071 single-core score is the highest recorded in Geekbench 7, surpassing even Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme.
When considering maximum multi-core CPU performance, the M6 chip outperforms Apple's M1 chip by more than 2.5 times. The Mac mini with M6 and M5 Pro chips, along with the new Mac Studio featuring M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips, are set to launch on September 22. However, GPU results for the M6 chip and M5 Ultra chip benchmarks are yet to be released.
