The first alleged benchmark results for the M5 chip in the new 14-inch MacBook Pro have surfaced, allowing for some performance comparisons.
Based on a single unconfirmed result uploaded to the Geekbench 6 database today, the M5 chip has pulled off an impressive feat. Specifically, the chip scored 4,263 for single-core CPU performance, which is the highest single-core score which has never been recorded in the Geekbench 6 database for any Mac or PC processor.
In the 14-inch MacBook Pro, the M5 chip has a 10-core processor, with four performance cores and six efficiency cores. The single-core score on Geekbench 6 refers to the performance achieved by just one of the performance cores, while the multi-core score refers to the maximum performance achieved by all 10 CPU cores combined.
A chip’s multi-core score reflects the processor’s peak performance for multi-threaded tasks, but single-core performance remains important for certain games and applications, and it plays a key role in overall system responsiveness and snappiness.

Unsurprisingly, the M5 chip in the new iPad Pro achieved a similar single-core score of 4,175, based on the Geekbench 6 results available so far.
When it comes to multi-core performance, the M5 chip in the 14-inch MacBook Pro scored 17,862 in the result alone, making it up to 20% faster than the M4 chip in the previous generation 14-inch MacBook Pro. The standard M5 chip is faster than M3 Pro chipAnd almost on par with the M1 Ultra chip.

The new 14-inch MacBook Pro is available for pre-order now and launches on Wednesday.
High-end 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models powered by M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are expected to launch in early 2026, but the standard M5 chip is clearly no slouch.
