Regardless of the A series or the M series, Apple processors have always been known for their far-leading single-core performance. There is no rival at all, and the same is true for the newly released M5. Tieba netizen "NPacific" used the CPU-Z ARM64 version to test the single-core and multi-core performance of Apple M5 under Windows 11 system.
However, please note that CPU-Z does not have a native Apple system version, so there will inevitably be a performance loss in this test.
even so,The M5 still achieved an incredible single-core score of 1,600 points, setting a new record.
As a comparison,The highest scores of AMD and Intel are less than 1,000 points. The best is i9-14900KS with 952 points, Ryzen 9 9950X3D with 867 points, and Core Ultra 9 285K with 891 points.

The netizen also ran the x86 translated version, and the single-core score was still as high as 880, exceeding AMD's best score.
However, the Apple M5 only has 4 performance cores and 6 energy efficiency cores for a total of 10 cores, soMulti-core performance is average, less than 6000 points.
The 9950X3D 16-core can reach just over 10,000 points, and the Core Ultra 9 285K 24-core can reach over 18,000 points.
In addition, in the GeekBench (AppleBench) test, the Apple M5 single-core score was 4263, which was also far ahead of the high-end products: Ryzen 9 9950X3D 3399 points, i9-14900KS 3239 points, and Core Ultra 9 285K 3217 points.
