Benchmarks Show Apple M2 Max Processor Up to 10% Performance Improvement Compared to M1 Max |

by archyde

The latest benchmarks of Apple’s upcoming M2 Max CPU have leaked, which will feature 12 cores and show up to a 20% improvement over the M1 Max. Apple’s M2 Max CPU, which will target the next generation of high-end MacBook models, offers more performance-per-core and performance-per-watt than the existing M1 Max chip.

For the high-end segment, the M2 Max CPU won’t be the best in Apple’s lineup, as that spot will still be occupied by Apple’s M2 Ultra CPU, which will launch later in 2023.

In all respects, the Apple M2 Max CPU will offer a total of 12 cores, an increase of 2 cores compared to the M1 Max’s maximum of 10 cores. We’re not yet sure what the specific performance and efficiency core configurations will be. The base frequency of the CPU is 3.54GHz, and it is equipped with a 4MB L2 cache. There’s also 96GB of onboard memory on this particular Mac. As for the maximum clock, according to the Geekbench report, the chip peaks at around 3.7 GHz.

The CPU of the Apple M2 Max scored 1889 points and 14586 points in the single-core and multi-core tests. In comparison, the Apple M1 Max scored around 1,750 points in the single-core test and 12,200 points in the multi-core test. This gives the M2 Max a 10% increase in single-thread and multi-thread performance over the previous-generation CPU, which is a nice bonus. But this result is only from an early leak, which means there is still room for improvement, and we can presumably see more good results in the final benchmarks.

Benchmarks show Apple M2 Max processor up to 10% better than M1 Max

When compared to some modern CPUs like Intel’s Core i9-13900K “Raptor Lake” and AMD’s Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4”, the Apple M2 Max gets crushed in both single-thread and multi-thread numbers because of these high-power The single-core performance of the desktop CPU can exceed 2000 points, and it can exceed 20,000 points in the multi-thread benchmark. Apple is likely to show off its energy-consumption advantages in front of these chips, and the M2 Ultra will be as close to a modern x86 in terms of performance as possible.

The maximum Boost clock of the Core i9-13900K is as high as 5.8GHz, easily surpassing the 5.5GHz of the previous generation flagship Core i9-12900KS. At the same time, there are 8 more sets of E-Cores, and the performance of single-core and multi-core performance is higher.

According to the official data provided by Intel, Raptor Lake is 15% higher than the previous generation single-threaded performance, and multi-threaded is as high as 41%. The performance gain comes from the contribution of cache memory, system main memory, clock, and E-Core growth.

Test Environment and Conditions

The test samples I received this time are Core i5-13600K, Core i9-13900K and other 2 processors, with Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Hero motherboard, and use the same G.Skill Trident as the previous AMD Ryzen 7000 series processor test topic The Z5 Neo memory can even see the performance comparison of the new generation processors at the same memory speed.

During the test, the Resizable BAR function of the graphics card was turned on. Each result was tested in 2 rounds. After determining that there were no extreme values, the average was taken. The game performance used the built-in test mode of the game. “Global Offensive” uses Titled Tower Benchmark, FPS Benchmark map and NVIDIA FrameView to test, and set the highest picture quality in 1080p, 2K, 4K resolution. Set the item to the highest setting, turn off settings such as VRS or dynamic resolution, and only adjust the ray tracing function on and off. As for the results of the control group, the results were taken from the previous articles written by the author.

The logo pattern in the upper left corner of the upper cover of the Raptor Lake processor has been replaced with a new version, and more photos can be found in our previous unboxing report. For photos of previous-generation Alder Lake processors, please refer to the article

The motherboard used in this special test is the Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Hero.

ROG Maximus Z790 Hero adopts a 20+1 power supply design, and the MOSFETs and inductors in the VRM area are also covered with heat sinks.

The motherboard has three built-in M.2 slots, all of which support PCIe Gen 4x4 transmission mode.

If you want to connect a solid state drive with PCIe Gen 5x4 interface, you need to use the included ROG Hyper M.2 riser card. At this time, the PCIe slot used by the graphics card will be switched to Gen 5x8 transmission mode.

The ROG Hyper M.2 riser card has 2 M.2 slots, supporting PCIe Gen 5x4 and PCIe Gen 4x4 transmission modes respectively.

The I/O backplane provides 2 sets of Thunderbolt 4 terminals compatible with USB4, and 1 set of USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C with a bandwidth of up to 10Gbps, in addition to up to 9 sets of USB Type-A terminals.

Although the automatic overclocking function built into the G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo memory is the new EXPO specification proposed by AMD rather than the XMP proposed by Intel, the automatic overclocking function can still be enabled directly in the BIOS/UEFI menu.

The processors tested this time are Core i5-13600K and Core i9-13900K.

Although the memory used this time only supports the EXPO automatic overclocking proposed by AMD, not Intel's XMP, but enabling the DOCP function in the BIOS/UEFI menu can still automatically overclock the memory to reach the speed of DDR-6000.

Intel's 13th-generation Core i processor performance test: Raptor Lake returns to the throne of gaming, multitasking performance

▲The graphics card used in the test is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Founder Edition, and the Resizable BAR function is turned on.

Processor and Comprehensive Performance Testing

In the first half of the test, we first analyze the tests that are closely related to processor performance to see how far the king of polishing Intel can improve the performance of the Raptor Lake processor with a small facelift.

The testbench markers in the data graph are as follows:
12600K: Core i5-12600K, Z690 chipset,DDR5-4800
13600K: Core i5-13600K, Z790 chipset, DDR5-6000
7700X: Ryzen 7 7700X, X670E chipset, DDR5-6000
7950X: Ryzen 9 7900X, X670E chipset, DDR5-6000
12900KS: Core i9-12900KS, Z690 chipset,DDR5-4800
13900K: Core i9-13900K, Z790 chipset, DDR5-6000

In the comprehensive performance test item PCMark10 Extendend, the total score was won by the Ryzen 9 7950X, but the Core i9-13900K followed closely, with a drop of only 3.2%.

In CrossMark, which is also a comprehensive performance test, the Core i9-13900K has the best performance, surpassing the Ryzen 9 7950X by 10.84%.

In the Cinebench R20 processor rendering test, the Core i9-13900K has the best single-core performance, and the Core i5-13600K is similar to the Ryzen 7000 series. In the multi-core performance part, the Core i9-13900K edged out the Ryzen 9 7950X.

In the Cinebench R23 processor rendering test with heavier workload, Core i9-13900K and Core i9-12900KS won the first and second place in single-core performance respectively, Core i5-13600K won the third place, and the multi-core performance part Core i9-13900K The lead of the Ryzen 9 7950X widened to 4.6%.

The POV-Ray ray tracing rendering test is also based on the Core i9-13900K winning the championship, with multi-core performance leading the Ryzen 9 7950X by 1.52%, and a 28.16% gap with the previous generation flagship Core i9-12900KS. On the other hand, the Core i5-13600K also leads the previous generation Core i5-12600K by 41.3% in multi-core performance due to the addition of 4 sets of E-Cores.

In the author's newly included V-Ray ray tracing rendering test, we can see that the Core i5-13600K and Core i9-13900K lead the Ryzen 7 7700X and Ryzen 9 7950X by 11.91% and 11.58%, respectively.

In the x264 Benchmark and x265 Benchmark software encoding video conversion tests, the Core i9-13900K and the Ryzen 9 7950X win and lose, while the Core i5-13600K leads the Ryzen 7 7700X in 2 items.

In the pure software conversion test of 4K video with the Handbreak conversion software (without hardware acceleration), the H.264 encoding score of the Core i9-13900K is close to that of the Ryzen 9 7950X, and the H.265 encoding is 9.44% behind.

3DMark CPU Profile processor multitasking test can see the performance of the same processor under different loads. The interesting thing is that the Core i9-13900K with the core configuration of 8P+16E is ahead of the Ryzen 9 7950X in the 8-thread project because it calls 8 sets of P-Cores, and in the 16-thread project, it is the 8P+8E combination, so it lags behind the 16-core project. Ryzen 9 7950X. In the Max thread, the 8P+16E combination can be used to advance again.

In the memory bandwidth section, both Raptor Lake and Ryzen 7000 series processors use the same DDR5-6000 memory, and it can be seen that the Core i9-13900K performs relatively well.

In the bandwidth portion of the L1 cache, the Core i9-13900K leads the way.

In the L2 cache part, the Ryzen 9 7950X with 2 sets of complete CCD units leads by a large margin.

The performance of L3 cache memory is a winner and a loser.

In the memory latency section, it is seen that the main memory part of the system is better performed by the Ryzen 7000 series processors. It can also be seen that the latency of DDR5-6000 is much improved compared to DDR5-4800 (such as the performance of Core i9-12900KS).

Using AIDA64 for burn-in test, the core i9-13900KFPU burn-in temperature that can be seen in the highest temperature part is lower than the Core i9-12900KS, but the temperature is higher when idle.

Corresponding to the power consumption performance, the FPU burn-in power consumption of the Core i9-13900K is only 215.7W (probably because the BIOS/UEFI has no unlocking power wall limit), but the idle power consumption has increased a lot.

game performance

Next, let’s see whether the most powerful processor in the new generation of games is won by Intel’s Core i9-13900K, or whether AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X can win the trophy.

The Time Spy project of the benchmark software 3DMark uses Direct X 12 graphics with 2K (2560 x 1440) resolution, and the Core i9-13900K significantly leads the Ryzen 9 7950X in the processor score by 26%.

Time Spy Extreme increases the resolution to 4K (3840 x 2160) and increases the computational burden, at which time the Ryzen 9 7950X has a 1.47% advantage.

With ray tracing turned off in Shadow of the Tomb, the Core i9-13900K took the lead at all resolutions, 5.05% ahead of the Ryzen 9 7950X at 1080p. 2K and 4K resolutions are dragged down by the graphics card performance bottleneck (GPU Bone), and the performance of each processor is similar.

After turning on ray tracing in Tomb Raider: Shadow, the Core i9-13900K still leads the Ryzen 9 7950X by 4.27% at 1080p resolution.

With ray tracing turned off in Watch Dogs: Liberty Legion, the Core i9-13900K outperformed the Ryzen 9 7950X by 7.86% at 1080p resolution.

After turning on ray tracing in Watch Dogs: Liberty Legion, the Core i9-13900K still leads the Ryzen 9 7950X by 6.85% at 1080p resolution.

The difference in FPS performance between processors in

The performance performance of each processing in Trembling Tunnel: Exile after ray tracing is turned on is similar, which should be limited by the GPU Bond of the graphics card.

Due to the low graphics burden, the performance bottleneck of 1080p resolution mainly occurs in the processor. It can be seen that the Core i9-13900K and Core i5-13600K performed well and won the championship and runner-up respectively.

Small facelift reclaims the performance throne

From the results of our testing of these two Raptor Lake processors, we can see that the Core i5-13600K has ideal gaming performance, and the multitasking performance is also significantly better than the previous generation Core i5-12600K due to the addition of 4 sets of E-Cores. The unfortunate part is that the price has been increased, which has caused greater purchasing resistance for mainstream consumers.

On the other hand, the Core i9-13900K increases the maximum Boost clock by 600MHz and adds 8 sets of E-Cores without adjusting the US dollar price. Not only the specifications exceed the previous generation flagship Core i9-13900KS, but the price is also lower by US$150.

More importantly, the Core i9-13900K can outperform the competitor’s Ryzen 9 7950X in almost all processor test items, and the game performance is even more comprehensive, making the latter’s seat of the gaming and multitasking performance thrones still hot. Being driven down also allowed Intel to take the top spot again.

Unfortunately, the price of Raptor Lake processors in Taiwan is quite “unfriendly”, so another point worth paying attention to is that in addition to supporting DDR5 memory, Raptor Lake processors can also support more competitively priced DDR4 memory. Help keep construction costs down. Next, I will also prepare a test topic for Core i5-13600K with 2 different memories, so stay tuned.

For instructions on Zen 4 architecture Ryzen 7000 series processors, please refer to the author’s previousFeature Article(More information is listed in the series of articles at the end of the article), so I won’t go into details here.

The motherboard processor used by the author this time is the Ryzen 5 7600X with 6 cores and 12 threads. Compared with the other 3 first Ryzen 7000 series processors, in addition to the smaller number of physical cores, the maximum Boost clock and cache Memory capacity is also relatively low, so you can expect performance to lag on either single-core or multi-core.

The motherboard used this time is MSI MAG B650M MORTAR WIFI with G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo memory (automatically overclocked to DDR5-6000 using EXPO). Turn on the Resizable BAR function of the graphics card during the test. All results are tested in 2 rounds. After confirming that there are no extreme values, the average is taken. The game performance uses the built-in test mode of the game, and is matched with 1080p, 2K, and 4K resolutions. The highest image quality setting. If there is a setting template, the highest template will be applied. If not, all image quality related items will be adjusted to the highest, and VRS or dynamic resolution settings will be turned off, and only the adjustment of the ray tracing function on and off is performed. As for the results of the control group, the results were taken from the previous articles written by the author.

It is rumored that AMD will reduce the production capacity of Ryzen 7000 processors due to lower-than-expected sales, mainly due to the high construction cost caused by #AM5 (184007)

by archyde

AMD will officially launch the new AM5 platform and Ryzen 7000 processor in late September 2022. In addition to a comprehensive upgrade of the architecture and sockets, it will also bring new channels including PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5. However, according to rumors, AMD is evaluating the current PC market. At present, the production capacity of Ryzen 7000 series processors is intentionally reduced.

▲Although AM5 brings new channels such as PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5, it is also passed on to the system construction cost

Ryzen 7000 is not a poor performance. In fact, Ryzen 7000 is still quite popular with enthusiasts. The sales performance of Ryzen 9 7900 is quite good, and its shipment and sales performance is better than that of Ryzen 7 7700X and Ryzen 7600X; but the problem lies in AM5 It is a brand new platform. Due to the addition of multiple PCIe 5 channels, the cost of the motherboard is relatively high, and only the current price of DDR5 can be used, which makes the cost of purchasing the Ryzen 7000 platform relatively high, although the subsequent B650 is cheaper than the X670 chip. The launch of the motherboard brought the price down slightly, but the entry price was still higher than AMD had expected.

After all, the main force driving market sales is often not the group at the top of the pyramid. With the launch of the AM5 platform, the Ryzen 5000 series and AM4 platform that are still on sale have a better C/P value and are more in line with the price that mainstream players can accept. However, AMD will have to worry about how to allocate production capacity next, because the layout of AMD’s mobile platform in 2023 will span three architectures, Zen 2, Zen 3 and Zen 4, as well as the next-generation Zen 4 EPYC server-class processor. CPU dies that go to Ryzen 7000, not to mention gaming dies that need to be shipped to Sony and Microsoft.

The world is up in arms against AMD. Computers are not for sale, revenue is falling catastrophically

AMD is facing a steep drop in revenue due to the poor performance of its consumer department. Computers based on its processors are not selling well, but it’s not about them, but about global inflation and economic tension. Perhaps Intel has the same problems now, but it has not voiced them yet.

AMD is losing ground

AMD has warned the world about the disastrous results of the third quarter of 2022. According to its analysts, revenue will fall by almost 30% yoy, and the disastrous results of the custom solutions division are to blame.

AMD is one of the two largest manufacturers of x86 processors for laptops, computers and servers. The second is Intel. Since 2017, when the first chips Ryzen based on the first generation Zen architecture, AMD is increasing its share of the global processor market, taking advantage not only of the success of its own solutions, but of the failures of its main rival. In the II quarter of 2022, the share of AMD was 36.4% against, for comparison, 23.1% three years earlier (data Statista.com).

The third quarter of 2022, which ended on September 30, is likely to break out of the already familiar pattern of growth financial AMD success. Its revenue could collapse by 29% to $5.9 billion.

Perhaps the New Year’s Eve Q4 will be more successful for AMD

This is contrary to previously announced forecasts of the company. For the third quarter of 2022, she expected revenue of $ 6.7 billion. The final results are still classified – AMD will publish them on November 1, 2022.

What happened

AMD’s user division was able to disrupt AMD’s plans, sales of which sank by 40% compared to Q3 2021. Moreover, this is the only department of the company that showed “negative growth” during the reporting period.

For comparison, AMD’s revenue from sales of server solutions, as well as chips for data centersis expected to grow by 45% year on year.

The gaming segment, in which AMD is represented by video cards, also showed positive results – revenue growth for the year was 14%. Even in the embedded business, AMD is doing relatively well with a 4% year-on-year revenue growth.

But with all this, AMD has written off in the range of $160 million. This was the result of product price adjustments and extensive inventories of unsold chips.

Safety

It looks like AMD will have to bear the brunt of global inflation, as well as the general instability in society caused by the events that took place in the world after February 24, 2022. While some countries are engaged in open confrontation, others are suffering from a sharp increase in prices for fuel and energy carriers. In some countries disappear from sale computers and spare parts for them, imported legally, in others, equipment is constantly becoming more expensive.

All this contributes to the fact that consumers around the world have decided not to rush to buy a fresh laptop for the time being and not to assemble a new one. system unit. AMD was the company that was hit hard by this, as confirmed by the company’s CEO Lisa Su (Lisa Su).

The harsh facts of reality

The logic in what is happening with AMD in this case is obvious. Prices for PCs are rising, interest in them from users is falling. The first to suffer are retailers whose sales are declining. They are forced to order less equipment from distributors, and those from direct manufacturers. In the final – a drop in orders from AMD as one of the two suppliers h86–processors for modern laptop and desktops.

It is noteworthy that the company Intelnot so long ago unsuccessfully tried take out From Russia several hundred IT people, such forecasts have not yet been voiced. Meanwhile, its Q3 2022 report is currently unpublished as well. It is possible that she, too, faced a drop in the performance of the consumer department.

IT in the public sector

Analytical agencies do not yet predict what the results of the global computer market may be in the third quarter of 2022. But their research for the second quarter shows a strong drop in sales.

For example, in a report IDC it is said that the global PC market has collapsed by 15.3%, although in 2021 it demonstrated equally significant growth. Analysts from Gartner recorded a 12.6% drop over the same period. Both companies attribute the decline in sales to a combination of economic uncertainty and rising inflation, as well as the fact that buyers snapped up everything necessary to survive the caused pandemic transition to work at home.
