Thanks - interesting on OpenCL - presumably running on GPU? All that memory opens up some interesting possibilities.

Also I thought Apple was deprecating OpenCL in favour of Metal?



OpenCL and OpenGL have been deprecated in favor of Metal. Geekbench also has a Metal compute benchmark.


Is there a metal benchmark? This is the score I’ve been most interested in.


Nay, there isn't one for the new M1 Max, but FWIW it's pretty comparable, but OpenCL is a bit faster than Metal.

* MacBook Pro (16-inch Late 2019) - Metal https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/compute/3139776 [31,937 metal score]

* MacBook Pro (16-inch Late 2019) - OpenCL https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/compute/3139756 [33,280 OpenCL score]


Huh. I was expecting it to be over 80k. This is the blackmagic pro Vega 56 egpu metal score.


How to compare Metal vs non-mac hardware then?
