The first[GPU benchmark results for Apple's new M5 Ultra](https://browser.geekbench.com/search?k=grand_gpu&q=mac17%2C15)and[M6 chips](https://browser.geekbench.com/search?k=grand_gpu&q=mac18%2C5)have surfaced, ahead of the[new Mac Studio and Mac mini models](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/09/18/apple-releasing-two-new-macs-next-week/)launching on Tuesday\. If you are interested in CPU results, we shared those[earlier this week](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/09/15/apple-m5-ultra-chip-benchmark/)\.
 So far, the M5 Ultra has achieved up to a 59% higher Metal score \(366,744\) on Geekbench 7 compared to the M3 Ultra's average score of 230,420, and the chip's OpenCL score is roughly in line with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4080\.
As for the M6 chip, it has so far achieved up to a 34% higher Metal score \(93,217\) compared to the M5 chip's average score of 69,563\.
