The M5 Ultra, which Apple announced in late August 2026 alongside a new Mac Studio, traded blows with Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5080 in creative workflows, physics simulations, and photo editing, beating the RTX 5080 by as much as 22% in some cases while losing by as much as 100% in others.", "body_md": "Apple officially [announced the M5 Ultra in late August 2026](https://www.techpowerup.com/351920/apple-introduces-new-mac-studio-with-m5-max-and-m5-ultra), alongside the new Mac Studio desktop PC, claiming that it would offer significant increases in both AI and GPU-accelerated workloads. A new [leaked set of Geekbench](https://browser.geekbench.com/v7/gpu/171745) scores seems to validate many of Apple's claims in the GPU performance department, with the new GPU in the M5 Ultra coming out around 41% faster, on average.\n\nThe Apple M5 Ultra GPU scored a total of 360,019 points in the Geekbench 7 GPU benchmark, while the M3 Ultra only clocked in with 255,009 points in the same benchmark.
