Apple's 18-core M5 Max destroys 96-core Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX in Geekbench — GPU performance is much less impressive

Apple's 18-core M5 Max scores higher in Geekbench 6 multi-thread CPU tests than the 96-core Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX.
Geekbench 6's multi-thread test is described as a brief, bursty workload that may idle many cores on high-core CPUs.
In GPU compute, the M5 Max integrates a GPU that outperforms the previous model but remains behind top discrete GPUs.
Compared with AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and other GPUs, the M5 Max GPU trails higher-end discrete options like the RTX 5090.
Tom's Hardware notes the CPU memory bandwidth and cache contribute to M5 Max’s performance gains.
CPU performance is framed within premium coverage and benchmark context provided by TH Premium.
The article provides context on how the results may translate to real-world applications due to benchmark limitations.
The article contrasts single-thread and multi-thread results to illustrate per-core performance differences.
The coverage highlights that the M5 Max’s GPU performance, while improved, is not a match for the strongest discrete GPUs in some tasks.
The article includes a summary of relevant benchmarks and the related performance metrics for CPU and GPU.
