MacBook Pro M5 Max vs M4 Max Benchmark Results Are INSANE!

So then guys, the new MacBook Pro M5 Max is here and so is the MacBook Pro M5 Pro. And today, what I want to do for you guys is I want to compare the MacBook Pro M4 Max that we've got in 2024 to the brand new M5 Max MacBook Pro that we've got right here, which just come out. And Apple have sent this to me and I've got my hands on it. And yeah, it is super impressive with the benchmark that I've been doing with this. Now, first of all, I just want to quickly say that the actual unboxing process was very, very normal here. Nothing really different whatsoever. Everything seemed exactly the same. The good news is with the MacBook Pros, at least here in the UK, you actually get a charger in the box. I know you guys in the US think, well, yeah, of course you do. But the MacBook Air, you didn't. And I made a video about that the other day. But the main point is is that yeah, you do get a charger in the box here in the UK at the very least there. But what I would also like to say about this new MacBook Pro is that also it is brand new here and this M4 Max MacBook Pro is also brand new. So what I mean by this is that I've installed all the software, all the benchmarks and things like this and all the tests I've done. I've made sure the batteries are both at 100% starting of these tests and then at the end of this video we'll see how good the batteries have lasted on this. So just one other thing I just want to quickly show you is this slide right here. This slide is showing you basically the specs of the M4 Max and also the M5 Max MacBook Pros that I've got my hands on. So, what we can see here is with the M4 Max, it is the 16 core version, the 12 performance cores, four efficiency cores, and the M5 Max version I've got here is the 18 core, the 12 performance cows, and these MU6 super cores, what Apple call them now, the super cores, but the GPU is also the 40 core version. M4 Max. M5 Max has also got a 40 core, but do remember we've got those AI enhanced GPU cores. Now, the memory, RAM, whatever you want to call it, is 128 GB in both of these devices. Memory bandwidth on the M4 Max is 546 gbits per second. M5 Max 614 gbits per second. So, a nice increase there. Storage is both exactly the same. They're both 4 terbte SSD nan chips, whatever you want to call them. Same amount of storage overall. And wireless capabilities, the M4 Max now also had Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. We've had that for a few generations, but the M5 Max, that's improved now to Wi-Fi 7 at last and Bluetooth 6. And like I just mentioned, the battery cycles on this are literally neck and neck. We've got four battery cycles on the M4 Max and we've got three on the M5 Max. And basically equivalent what that is like, it's like getting a brand new car and you know, you've always got like say six miles 10 miles already on the clock when you get it. It's going to be like that. That's literally what we got here. This one here has got 10 miles on the clock. This one here has got eight and a half miles on the clock. It's literally brand new for both of these machines. So yeah, just be aware of that. So what I decided to do then after installing all the tests onto this and all the software, I decided to do storage first of all cuz storage is super impressive to see here. This is with Black Magagic. And just have a look right here. You could see me turning this on and the speeds are super insane here on the M5 Max. Look at this. We're into like the 13,000 here in the reads and the right. It's like 12,700ish, just above that. It's It's really really crazy to see what we are getting here. I've also decided to run speedometer 3.1. But let's have a look then at a chart at all the results that we've got. So, we can see here that with the Blackmagic read speed, like I said, we used to with the M4 mmats get 5,200 megabytes per second. And the point is is that you can see now how much this has changed. We are now getting 150% increase, two and a half times faster than what we used to get with the M4 Max. This is insane what we are getting here. And the Blackmagic right speeds as well. Look at that. 12,800 practically compared to 7,600. This again is crazy. A 68% increase what we're getting there. And then also I ran that speedometer 3.1 test to check the browsing speeds in this. And this also does rely a little bit on your actual storage cuz caches need to go everywhere. Not just your cash into your RAM, obviously sort of save caches. And you can see the difference here. It's 49 to 60.76. A nice 24% increase. Now, a big reason why the storage speed is far faster than it used to be before is because we've now got PCIe4 now running on those NAM sort of storage, how that's being managed where it was PCI 3. We've had that since the beginning really. So, on PCI 4 now, and that makes a massive difference. We've seen that across even on the MacBook Pro with the standard M5, MacBook Air reviewed the other day. It's done exactly the same here. But the next thing you guys probably want to know about is what about CPU performance? Well, I've done a load of two different kind of CPU tests here. I've done Geekbench and I've also done Cinebench for single core and multi-core. And let's have a look at the test that we've got right here, the results. And you can see here for Geekbench single core that obviously we have got 4,278 compared to 4,0. This is about a 6.7 increase. It's okay. And then the Geekbench multicore obviously, you know, this is 29,311 compared to 26,078. This is the fastest multi-core performance we have ever seen in a Mac. It's super super impressive. And then for Cinebench, what we've got right here is obviously it's very impressive here too. That in single core performance, it's 732 compared to 675. A nice 8.4% increase. And then Cinebench multi-core performance is around about 8% faster now at 8,445 compared to 7,829. So that is really really good to see that we got those kind of performance gains there. Now obviously the M4 Max was a real screamer in performance, but obviously the M5 Max has topped out a little bit more. Not a huge jump, but obviously I think you know the point is the M4 Max is so powerful as it is. Apple didn't really need to push it further that much in this chip. And to be honest, I think the main areas where it needs to enhance is probably things to do with AI task and also to do with GPU. And talk about GPU, I've done a load of different kind of GPU tests. What I've done right here, I've run Geekbench Metal. I've also run um you know 3D Mark Steel Nomad Light here too. And also I ran Cyberpunk 2077 and obviously I ran this at 1460p at ultra settings. And let's have a look at the scores that we got right here. And you can see then with the M4 Max and obviously for Geekbench Metal, it got 188,600. It's now 228,514. Super powerful what we've got with these GPU cores. 21.2% increase. And this is crazy to think that this is just running on 40 cores. This is very close to the M3 Ultra. And remember M3 Ultra has 80 cores, GPU cores. This is half the amount of cores yet giving this kind of performance. This is a nice big increase. What we have got right here and it's the same then for still Nomad light too. We have a nice increase here. We can actually see that obviously we got 132 frames per second compared to 109 frame per second. So this was really good to see this increase. And then obviously Cyberpunk 2077. This was an ultra settings. 1460p. You can't run 14400 cuz it's a Mac, different resolutions, all that weird stuff. But the point is, have a look at this. M4 Max used to give us 59 frames per second on average. It now gives us 85 frames per second on average. A nice 44% increase here in graphics in frames per second on that game. That is amazing to see. But it's not just about CPU or GPU. It's also to do with AI now. We're living in that world with AI and running on device AI. Not just running over to the cloud to get things done. Actually running them on models actually on your machines. And obviously this is becoming a big thing now for developers. And this is why I've done some little tests here just to see what we've done. So what I've done is I've done the Geekbench AI on all three, the CPU, GPU, and also the MPU. I've also ran Diffusion B2 to actually create a picture. And we're going to see how long that took. And then also I ran also Alarm, the latest kind of model here on both these machines, the same one, to see how many tokens per second we're going to get. And have a look here at the results. So, first of all, with Geekbench AI scores, well, you can see here with the CPU that obviously running that you got an 18% increase with the M5 Max. And then on the GPU, we got about a 13.8 increase here. Was still very good. And then obviously with the newer engine, remember Apple have kept with the same 16 core amount. So, we've always had 16 cores, but yeah, we're still getting about a 20% increase in AI capability on Geekbench AI scores. This is really impressive to see. Now, diffusion B, same thing. I asked it to create an English countryside uh sunrise picture for me and it could do this in 4.7 seconds. Whereas the M4 Max does this in 6.3 seconds. So, yeah, we are definitely faster here. And then also doing a llama as well. Same model running it. And then the tokens per second. M4 Max running a thousandword query. it could get around about 90.45 tokens per second whereas M5 Max could do this at 107 um tokens per second. So this is definitely super impressive in what we are getting here. But then the next thing you guys probably want to know is about what about real world scenarios? What about if for example I'm using Blender? What happens if for example I want to convert raw pictures into JPEG or I want to export in ProRes or convert you know uh video from ProRes to Heather. I can export that. What's the kind of speeds in that doing an export? Well, I've managed to do some tests right here and let's have a look at the results that we've got. So, first of all doing Blender party tug. What you can see here is that the export times is far better. Remember lower is better on this. And you can see that, you know, the likes M4 Max used to do this in 25.69 seconds. It now takes just about 16 seconds. This is a 37.6%, you know, faster way of doing this render. This is super impressive to see. Those AI cores are definitely helping out in the GPU section. The same with RAW to JPEG export. Well, you can see it was 419 seconds. It's now 383 seconds. This is more CPUbound. So this is 8.6% increase in speed there. Same with ProRes 422 export here on M4 Max. It used to take 28.5 seconds. It now takes 26 seconds. Again, this is 8.8%. And the same one in Heavc export. Well, again, it was 128 seconds. It's now 105 seconds instead. And that is super impressive for what you're getting. I do hope that Apple with the next generation with M6 that they actually improve those kind of media engines because it definitely needs doing because they've really essentially just used the same type of media engines ever since we had say the first generation. Be nice to add like an AI touch to them as well. I'm sure with AI and bits and pieces with exporting you could actually probably speed up things even more. So that would be really impressive to see if Apple can do that on the next generation but we'll have to wait and see. But the next thing you guys want to know is all about probably thermals and heat. How hot do these MacBook Pros get? Well, I've run Cinebench multicore on this to see how hot they get. And I did two kind of different tests here. I did one where I actually checking out the sensors, how hot it's saying on the MacBooks. And then also I did my thermal camera too to see what the results are. So first of all, let's have a look at the sensors. So using the hot app, we can see here that temperatures on average are about 113 degrees centigrade here. I will put the Fahrenheit up on in the graph, but you can see the different kind of sensors throwing back here different results and everything there. Then obviously if I switch over now to the M5 Max, then obviously it's 105 here. It's a little cooler. What's pretty cool and impressive [snorts] to actually see here. So yeah, both of these are running this. Now, obviously the M5 Max, what I am going to say is out is out in front cuz it is faster with everything. But I did start both of these at the same time. So, you can see there we got 4 minutes 28 seconds. And if I go over here, yeah, look, 4 minutes 25 seconds. Couple of seconds there to switch over. My point is is that the M5 Max here does seem to be running slightly cooler compared to what we have with the M4 Max. is definitely really impressive to actually see with what we're actually getting here. So yeah, good points in then to the M5 Max. So yeah, it does get quite toasty there. But what about say the thermal camera then? What were the results that we got right here? What was it giving us? So now looking at the thermal camera, let's have a look then. This is the M4 Max. We can see that the kind of average on around the keyboard here is around about 40 degrees centiggrade, but obviously it's getting more heat coming out those fans out of the back there. Can you see the red crosshair? That's what that one is. So, it's saying about 49. So, on the main keyboard bit here, yeah, we are getting around about 40. But obviously on the um like I said, the actual bit where the fans are, it is hotter at 49. Let's now go over to the M5 Max. And yeah, here we can see it's about the same. It's about 40 in the middle of the keyboard, but then obviously for the actual coming out the fan, it's about 46°. So yeah, it is definitely we have got a difference here that the M5 Max seems to be running ever so a bit more cooler, ever so slightly more cooler. What is really impressive to see, especially this is still the same design MacBook Pro. So after this then I put this all into a chart to show you. So let's take a look. So we can see with the M4 Max we've got about 113° you know Celsius. What's about 235 12 fah compared to the M5 Max was 105° C and that's 221° F. That is a difference what we are seeing a good difference. Apple managed to as it were cool down the Mugs a little bit more. This is around about an eight degrees Celsius difference here. This is really, really impressive to see. And the same with the thermal camera. This is on the surface and obviously those fans blowing out the air. You could see the difference what we had there. It was before at 48.7° C, what was about, you know, about 120° F. And now it's 46° C, about 115° F. Again, that's about a difference of about 2.7° C. So again, this is super impressive that Apple have made this chip more powerful, but it seems more efficient even in its cooling. Even if it is just a little bit, this is still very impressive. But then the big question that you also want to know is after I did all these tests, you want to know how long did the batteries last. Well, I did actually check out the batteries and here are the results. You can see that the M4 Max still had 27% remaining whereas the M5 Max still had 34% battery remaining. This is an extra 7% more battery. So this means that the M5 Max is more power efficient under sustained load yet even though it's more powerful. It's crazy that Apple have actually done this. And do remember like I said at the beginning of this video that the likes of the M4 Max that only had a counter of four and this only had a counter of three times that the battery has been recharged. It's like brand new MacBook Pros that we've essentially got in. Like I said, it's like getting a car brand new and it's got like 10 miles on the clock or you know 8 and a half miles on the clock. That's what like we've got right here. It's basically brand new. And this is super impressive. I'm really really happy what Apple have done here with the likes of the M5 Max. is a nice kind of change to see that things are slightly cooler this time, but it's also good to see how much performance has also increased overall. So, yeah, definitely looks brilliant in what we've actually got here. But on that note as well then guys, are you impressed with the M4 Max or the M5 Max? Are you going to get yourself one even though they are super expensive to get? Well, let me know in the comments below. And on that note as well guys, it's time to wrap up the video, too.
