M5 Ultra Demolishes The 96-Core Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX CPU In New Geekbench 7 Scores; Obtains 11% Higher Multi-Core Score With Less Than Half The Number Of Cores

Apple’s M5 Ultra chip now eclipses AMD’s 96‑core Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX in Geekbench 7, giving professionals the promise of noticeably faster workstation performance on Apple silicon. Engineers, video editors and AI researchers could see reduced render times and quicker model training, while the shift may pressure existing AMD‑based infrastructure providers. The advantage stems from Apple’s design that fuses two dies into a single package, delivering more than half the core count while retaining higher efficiency per core.

Notebookcheck describes the M5 Ultra as entering “workstation monster territory,” and The Mac Observer details the die‑fusion approach that makes it Apple’s most powerful chip yet. Geekbench 7 results published by wccftech.com show the M5 Ultra achieving an 11 % higher multi‑core score despite using less than half the cores of the Threadripper PRO. The report also points out that the score advantage is achieved with less than half the core count, underscoring the efficiency of Apple’s architecture.

MacRumors calls the result “truly wild,” while zamin.uz notes the direct outperformance of the AMD giant. The next focus will be whether software ecosystems and enterprise buyers shift their procurement toward Apple‑based workstations in response to this benchmark gap.
