The Apple Silicon M series processors are a range of chips designed by Apple. They are built on the ARM architecture and are used in the company’s Mac computers. The M series offers high performance and energy efficiency, making them ideal for laptops and tablets. Apple released its first M series processor, the M1, in 2020, followed by the M1 Max, M1 Pro, and M2. Now the M2 Max is next. Lastly, the performance of the highly anticipated processor has finally appeared on Geekbench.
More Apple M2 Max benchmarks leak, show better performance
The second set of purported M2 Max Geekbench results have been spotted online, and they show a significant improvement over a previous leak. The first M2 Max benchmarks were seen on Geekbench in November, but they failed to show much of an improvement over its predecessor, the M1 Max. However, a new Geekbench entry now shows a substantial difference.
The previous M2 Max figures showed a single-core score of 1853 and a multi-core score of 13855, while the new figures are single-core 2027 and multi-core 14888. In both cases, the benchmarks identify the device as Mac14,6. References to this model were first spotted in July 2022, but it is still unclear whether it refers to a new Mac Studio or a MacBook Pro.
It is also possible that the figures are fabricated, but if they are accurate, they also show what is responsible for the difference between the November leak and this one. The previous data showed that the Mac had one 12-core processor running at 3.54 GHz, while the new data shows the same number of cores but a clock speed of 3.68 GHz.
If the M2 Max does exist, it is not expected to be released until 2023. There were persistent rumors that there would be an M2 MacBook Pro in November 2022, but Tim Cook’s comments suggest that this will now be released next year.
