Leaked Geekbench benchmarks reveal that Apple’s new M2 chip is up to 20% faster than the M1 chip in multi-core performance.
The M2, which runs at 3.49GHz compared to 3.2GHz for the M1, earned a single-core score of 1919, which is roughly 12 percent faster than the 1707 single-core score of the M1 13-inch MacBook Pro. The M2 earned a multi-core score of 8928, up about 20 percent from the 7419 scored by the M1 model.
CPU Benchmarks have leaked for Apple's M2 chip!
3.49GHz CPU clock vs M1's 3.2GHz
Single-core performance gain vs M1: 11.56%
Multi-core performance gain vs M1: 19.45%A little bit better than my estimates. I'm impressed!https://t.co/TGHOHw77Ds

The Geekbench 5 test agrees with Apple’s claims that the M2 chip is up to 18% faster than the M1.
The Metal benchmark showed the M2 chip scoring 20627, which is a nice leap over the M1’s 21001 score. The M2 chip offers up to a 10-core GPU, compared to the 8-core maximum of the M1.
The M2 chip is used in the upcoming new 2022 MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro.
