The results of a new test from Geekbench for the recently announced Mac mini with M2 and M2 Pro chips have appeared on the network. They showed a significant increase in performance compared to the previous generation Mac mini with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips.
results testify that a Mac mini with the new M2 Pro processor achieved a single-core score of 1952 points and a multi-core score of 15,013 points for a configuration with 16 GB of memory. By comparison, the previous Mac mini with the M1 scored 1651 and 5181 respectively.
The Geekbench results are the first we’ve seen for the new M2 Pro, also available for the updated 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros. Although we don’t yet know the results of testing the updated laptops, the performance of the M2 Pro on Mac mini is unlikely to be much different from its performance on laptops.
The M1 Pro in the previous generation 14-inch and 16-inch MacBooks scored 1734 and 10,076 points, compared to 1952 and 15,013 points for the M2 Pro. The new M2 Pro is also ahead of the M1 Max, which scores 1,727 and 12,643 respectively, according to these results.
The updated Mac mini and 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros are available for pre-order on Apple’s website and will begin shipping to customers in the US and Europe on Tuesday, January 24.
