Last month, Geekbench scores for an unannounced Mac running the upcoming M2 Max chip surfaced online, showing only minor performance increases over the M1 Max. Now, another set of scores claiming to be for the M2 Max chip has surfaced online, showing a bigger boost in performance.
In Geekbench scores last week, the M2 Max chip scored 1,853 in single-core and 13,855 in multi-core, which is only a minor jump from its predecessor. Now, in a new set of alleged scores for the M2 Max, the chip scored 2,027 in single-core and 14,888 in multi-core. For reference, the M1 Max chip tops out at 1,755 in single-core and 12,334 in multi-core.
The new Geekbench scores don’t offer more details on the upcoming Macs, which are expected to be 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros first. The scores list the chip as running on a Mac with a “Mac14.6” ID with 96GB of memory and running macOS Ventura 13.2. The only difference between today’s scores and last month’s scores is that the updated scores show an M2 Max chip with a higher base frequency of 3.68 GHz compared to 3.54 GHz, which could explain the higher scores.
Apple was originally supposed to announce updated Macs with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips in November this year, but the company pushed back its plans until early 2023. Apple has several new Macs in the works, including an iMac and an updated MacBook Pro.
