That’s Cinebench 23. It isn’t well optimised for Apple Silicon. Versions, below 24, should be avoided if the goal is accurate comparison. C24 numbers show single core M3 within 1%, and M2 within 12%, of the fastest 14th gen Intel result.Cinebench multi-core:
Mac M2 Ultra scores ~28k
Cinebench 24: Source cpu-monkey.com (Single Core)
i9-14900KS (24c, 32T @6.20GHz) 143 (Top i9 result)
Apple M3 Pro (12c, 12T @4.06GHz) 142
M2 126
Multi-Core M2 Ultra is 14.8% slower Vs fastest i9. That should fall to 2-3% for an M3 Ultra. Though Apple may skip M3 Ultra entirely, for a performance core only M4, on the high end.

Threadripper 7980X (64C, 128T @5.1GHz) 5531 (Top Result)
i9-14900KS (24C, 32T@6.20GHZ) 2252 (Top i9 result)
M2 Ultra 1918
The 7980X, crushing multi-core, serves as a reminder of the limited value Cinebench has in extrapolating much about real-world audio use. Purchase decisions should always be based on tests involving someone’s own host, plugins, and expected latency where possible. Anything less would be foolish.
