Haven’t tested CB R26 yet myself, will be curious how all the CPUs and GPUs stack up versus R24. The SMT test could be interesting for SMT-enabled cores.

Seems to be worse than 24 in my very limited testing. Blender shows the M3 Ultra around a 5070 Ti, whereas the Ultra is significantly behind on CB26. Assuming this score is an 80 core version for the Ultra. My M4 Pro is behind a W6800 here also, whereas on Blender it’s ahead.

5090 score.

sadly, while i understand german, I do not understand GPU benchmarks.

I remember the same being true for 2024 honestly. However, I have trouble digging up really good database of Mac results for R24 GPU benchmarks. So it's hard to compare exactly how things have changed.

Some more scores.

The CPU multicore scores look similar at first blush. For, the ST scores, the x86 might have caught up somewhat, but I suspect it is more that some of the results are from very overclocked processors - there are a huge range of different results for the same processor. So I suspect the CPU test hasn't changed much at least in terms of how processors are ranked even if the benchmark itself is different/harder.

M5 score.

M3 Max 16cCPU/40cGPU/48GB - power consumption in Cinebench 24 and 26 is about the same. (53W CPU and 30W GPU accordings to powermetrics) I have another scores from high power and low power.
