Apple introduced the M1 Ultra, the company’s most powerful Apple Silicon processor ever, used in Mac Studio, at the “Peek Performance” event held on March 8. For its Apple processor, it used tables showing that it could outperform Intel’s top processor or Nvidia’s RTX 3090 GPU. Apple did not directly name the Nvidia RTX 3090 here, but said it was “the ultimate external GPU”.
DID NOT PERFORM BETTER
Despite Apple’s claims and charts, it has been suggested that the new M1 Ultra chip does not outperform Nvidia’s RTX 3090 in terms of raw GPU performance, according to a benchmark test by website The Verge.
It was claimed that the site decided to compare the M1 Ultra with the Nvidia RTX 3090 using Geekbench 5 graphics tests and that this chip could not match Nvidia’s chip when operated at full power.
According to the site’s claim, Mac Studio surpassed the 16-core Mac Pro, but its performance was about half that of the RTX 3090.
Now, what Apple has to say against this test result and the arguments put forward is eagerly awaited.
