There’s no way the M1 Ultra’s integrated GPU is more powerful than NVIDIA’s RTX 3090
At the time the new M1 Ultra was introduced at the Peek Performance event, Apple confirmed the integrated GPU inside the M1 Ultra for performance surpassing NVIDIA’s RTX 3090. The power efficiency of the M1 Ultra is also terrible, when at peak performance it consumes 200W less than the RTX 3090.
Test results were announced by Apple at the launch of the new Mac Studio model, which is equipped with the M1 Ultra chip. According to Apple, the integrated GPU of the M1 Ultra chip is more powerful than NVIDIA’s RTX 3090
Worth mentioning, Apple at that time did not disclose details of which tests were performed to obtain the above results. It is this that has caused a great controversy on social networks about Apple’s statement, when many people doubted the performance measurement results of the GPU on the M1 Ultra when confronting the RTX 3090.
To put an end to the controversy, the technology news site The Verge decided to do a test of its own, when the M1 Ultra was once again put on the balance sheet with the RTX 3090.
In the graphics test using the Geekbench 5 tool, the integrated GPU of the M1 Ultra was completely surpassed by the RTX 3090, when Nvidia’s flagship card model “runs at full capacity”. Despite beating the MacBook Pro model equipped with the M1 Max chip, the graphics processing performance of the M1 Ultra integrated in the Mac Studio is still only half that of the RTX 3090. Going to the test is the game Shadow of the Tomb Raider , the test results are still no different, when the GPU of the M1 Ultra reaches a significantly lower FPS than the RTX 3090.

A question arises: Did Apple announce test results that were somewhat deceiving to users?
The answer there is quite simple: When running at the same power consumption, the GPU on the M1 Ultra did indeed deliver slightly better performance than the RTX 3090. However, when the RTX 3090 ran at full power. force’ (ie at maximum TDP), the M1 Ultra is completely ‘ageless’.
“…Looks like Apple simply isn’t showing the full performance of the competitor they’re comparing. It’s the same argument, since your electric car uses less fuel at 80 mph than a Lamborghini, the electric car’s engine is better, while ‘accidentally’ forgetting. that the Lambo can still run twice as fast“, The Verge commented.
Meanwhile, MacRumours also questioned why Apple decided to publish the results of the above test, which could cause misunderstandings for some users when Apple accidentally (or intentionally) ‘forgotten’ the device. real performance of the RTX 3090.
