The previous M3 Ultra scored 249,564 (Metal) and 140,821 (OpenCL). The M5 Ultra’s dual neural engine and per‑core neural accelerators boost AI performance, while its power draw remains under 200 W, far lower than the 600–1,000 W typical of multi‑GPU PCs. This positions the Mac Studio as a cost‑effective, energy‑efficient AI [...]
