First M2 Max benchmark scores appear to leak on Geekbench

The first benchmarks for Apple’s forthcoming M2 Max processor appear to have leaked in Geekbench’s database.

The chip featured 12 cores, according to the entry.

The total single-core score is 1,853, while the multicore score is 13,855.

In comparison to our Geekbench 5 testing on a 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Max, that’s a 6% increase in single-core performance and an 11% increase in multicore performance.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind.

To begin, while these synthetic benchmarks might provide a rough indication of relative performance amongst devices, they do not necessarily reflect real-world performance.

Yes, there are several caveats. BKT readers will know to take this with a grain of salt, but it’s still intriguing to observe and guess about.
