![]() It's highly unlikely that Apple will do this. ![]() It would have been nice to have it released this year though. While it's disappointing not having significant CPU improvements, a 40% GPU boost is a pretty good upgrade. There's a possibility they could make the GPU cores on N3 and the CPU cores on N5P but it's more likely they will do N5P. These tests would suggest M2 Pro/Max might be the worst outcome expected for an upgrade - delayed to 2023 and using the same N5P process as M2 so the better N3 upgrade might not come until 2024. It is however much faster for GPU (40%) and some video encoding. The M2 is very similar to the M1 in Geekbench: My belief is that an M2 Max will need a 15-30% performance uplift over an M2 Pro to make it marketable.Īssuming Apple does not jump process nodes with the M2 Max, I'm guessing that the performance boost on standard integer and floating point tests will be more modest with greater improvements for machine learning tasks. This Geekbench score is likely fake or maybe the SoC's name was incorrectly reported. Remember: M_ < M_ Pro < M_ Max < M_ Ultra And Apple most certainly will not release a new SoC that has the identical performance as a predecessor. If the score and name of the processor are to be believed then there is no performance improvement with the M2 Max. The purported benchmark is for an M2 Max. ![]() The M2 in the MBA gets a single core score of 1899, so these results seem ballpark reasonable to me - within the range of testing reliability. However, Tim Cook's comments at the last earnings call have made it sound unlikely, and Apple does not often release new hardware in December that it has not already previously launched. It had been predicted that a new MacBook Pro with an M2 or M2 Max processor would be released before the end of 2022. In case we haven't been clear enough, the provenance on the benchmark is unclear. So it appears from this one example - assuming it is not fabricated - that the M2 Max may not offer as significant performance improvement as expected. There are obviously many for its year-old predecessor, the M1 Max, and a typical result for that is 1787 single-core, 12826 multi-core. This appears to be the sole M2 Max record on Geekbench. The single-core score is 1853, and the multi-core score is 13855. The CPU is listed as being "Apple M2 Max," and the data includes that it's one 12-core processor running at 3.54 GHz. As reported, the device features 96GB RAM, which is more than a current MacBook Pro can offer, but less than the Mac Studio. As first spotted by leaker ShrimpApplePro, the Geekbench figures includes details of the device's configuration.
