- Wait. What?
This is actually the M6 Pro and not the M6. It has 18 CPU cores to the M6's 12. The scores line up as well.
Reports have said all along that Apple is skipping M6 Pro/Max to focus on M7 generation.
I can't remember the last time an Apple chip got leaked like this.
by aurareturn - And how much would it cost?
In the current times performance/price seems to be increasingly important.
(Not to mention several other factors that once did not even exist, or were irrelevant.)
by mdp2021 - >4k? Thought not would barely twice that of an 15 year old CPU, but it of course is geekbench 7, not 6 or 5!
So this is different and faster than such a result in the old scoring would have implied.
by a3w - Would be interesting to see Speedometer 3.1 tests as well. I find they translate really well to user experience, and previously the M5 Base was beating the equivalent Ryzen/Intel there as well.by 5555watch

here are the leaderboards for anyone else who was curious
by asimovDev - Cool, but Apple didn't announce any M6 Pro yet, so where is this coming from?by galad87
- There are also leaks for the M5 Ultra & Base M6.

The Base M6 CPU single core is averaging a bit over 4000 on Geekbench 7.
For comparison, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 averages 3161 on the same test.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus averages 2940 on the same test.
