M5 Pro and Max unveiled

[Jimmyjames]

Let me be clear: it's not your lack of mathematical knowledge, quite the opposite, what you want is the correct way to do things - rather it's your mathematical knowledge confusing you! They're fundamentally doing it wrong. I understand why, or at least I have a reasonable hypothesis for why, they are doing it wrong, but they are doing it backwards because they assume most people won't understand why the better number is negative. They should either report that -17% faster/20% slower or +20% more performant/-17% less performant but instead they report +17 faster/ -20 slower.

Perhaps mathematical knowledge is the wrong way to put it. Although I have much to learn I’m sure. A lack of understanding or comprehension I suppose. It’s been a tough year.

We could take the top score. Still a nice uplift.

Do you still have your python script to read the opendata JSON file? If you were of a mind to do it (no need or pressure from my end), you could probably get the exact number yourself. Again, why opendata doesn't do this right for CPUs, especially when they do it right for GPUs, I do not understand.

I more than understand.

I’ll see if I can find it.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I just realized I screwed up my description and used faster/slower when I should've written more time/less time! Edited the post.

They should either report that the M4 completed it in -17% less time than the M5 and the M5 took +20% longer than the M4 or the M4 is +20% more performant(faster) and the M5 is -17% less performant(slower), but instead they report +17% for the M4 with the M5 as the baseline and -20 for the M5 with the M4 as the baseline.

Blender 5.0

M5 Max GPU being within the striking distance of 5070 Ti is quite incredible.

Blender 4.5 has the binned M5 Max GPU (I wonder which reviewer got that or have devices started to reach customers?). Also very impressive, faster than full M4 Max.

I don't know the difference between 4.5 and 5 Blender, but it's 95% of the performance of the 80 core M3, and that has ray tracing too.
