The single score and multi-score that evaluate the CPU performance of M1 are as follows. It's unclear whether the machine 'Mac 14,7' is the M2-equipped MacBook Air announced at WWDC22 or the unreleased new Mac. According to the Geekbench database, M1 has a single score of about 1700 and a multiscore of about 7000, so it seems that M2 has better performance than M1 in both single and multi. The M1 Pro , which is the higher model of the M1, has a single score of about 1700 and a multiscore of about 9000, and the higher model M1 Max has a single score of 1700 to 1800 and a multiscore of 11,000 to 12,000.

The score results also show that the M2 clock frequency is 3.49 GHz.

The Metal score indicating graphic performance is as follows. Since the previous generation M1 is around 22,000, it can be said that the Metal score has also improved. Looking only at the Metal score in the Geekbench database, the graphics performance of the M2 is comparable to the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M . The Metal scores of other chips in the M1 series are around 40,000 for M1 Pro, around 65,000 for M1 Max, and around 95,000 for M1 Ultra.

Gadget YouTuber Vadim Yuryev, who discovered the M2 score by Geekbench 5, commented, 'The Metal score of 29,832 is pretty impressive.'

Geekbench 5 Metal GPU scores have leaked for Apple's M2 Chip!

Looks like they're a bit better than my initial predictions from December. 29,832 is actually pretty impressive! Hitting 30,000 with margin of error would be incredible. Let's wait and see! .co / MMUcDk7WT9 pic.twitter.com/9vnhHCtucM
