#GEEKBENCH 5 MAC PRO#

The Geekbench 5 result reports the DTK as having only four cores while it is known that the A12Z has, in fact, eight CPU cores. Though the performance difference is large, the numbers are still good considering the fact that we are looking at emulation and early software. The A12Z in the DTK is about 25.4% slower in single-core and 45.2% slower in multi-core.

The A12Z Bionic in the iPad Pro 12.9 scores about 1,117 and 4,712 in single and multi-core tests, respectively. Let's take native A12Z scores for comparison first. So, what do these preliminary numbers indicate? It must be noted here that since Geekbench does not have a native Apple Silicon version yet, the available scores are under a Rosetta 2 emulation. There are about eight total entries for this particular machine in the Geekbench 5 database. The DTK seems to have achieved a single-core score of 833 and a multi-core score of 2,582. The Apple DTK is essentially a Mac Mini powered by the A12Z Bionic SoC and running macOS 11 Big Sur Developer Beta. Now, several Geekbench 5 benchmarks have now leaked despite the use of the DTK being governed by a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). Apple also made available a Developer Transition Kit (DTK) to enable developers to get started with creating apps that run on macOS 11 Big Sur powered by Apple Silicon. Apple announced the transition to ARM at this year's WWDC and the move has been largely welcomed given its potential for seamless computing across mobile and desktop.
