the M2 Max MacBook Pros are official now because we have leaked Benchmark
performance results now I'm going to be sharing those with you along with some
very weird things how it performs to the M2 Chip what kind of uh nanometer
process this seems like it's on and why this is extremely weird now we've been
talking about the M2 chips for a long time the pros the max we've been
anticipating these machines talking about three nanometer versions coming
out and the performance it will get from that and even though a lot of us thought
we're gonna have a November event that obviously didn't happen Apple pushed it
back so was it worth the wait well shrimp Apple Pro was actually the one
that pointed out these benchmarks first he's a leaker that is very very accurate
and here we're showing 12 cores 96 gigabytes of RAM so that's a nice
upgrade from the 64 gigabyte for those that need it we also have a little bit
more info about the core configuration now we've known as we're going to have a
12 core for a while so we're still up in arms about is it going to be eight
performance cores and four efficiency plus upgraded Graphics or on the M2 Max
will be 10 performance cores two efficiency and then extra graphics and
I'll let you guys know what I think it's looking like based on the performance
numbers we have so let's dive right into it here are the numbers so we have 1853
and 13 855 for multi-core now this was the first leak and as you see I am very
disappointed because these numbers do not look good at all in any way that you
look at it now if we go ahead and compare it to the M1 Max that got 12
333 for multi-core that is only a 12 difference in performance and that is a
shame if it's going to be a year and a half later Intel has done even better
than this now looking at the single core we have 1853 compared to a thousand
seven hundred and fifty five that is only a five percent Improvement in
performance that doesn't make any sense at all now for those of you guys who
think that might this might be a fake leak well if we take a look lower here
it literally says we are running Mac OS 13.2 this was set to be a beta that's
actually unreleased even to developers this means that if somebody at Apple
most likely or maybe somebody that gave the laptop to to test because this
software isn't anywhere and that also makes this leak a lot more likely that
it's legit now we also see that it's labeled the Apple M2 Max it shows 12
processing cores there's no processor right now that's 12 cores from Apple
silicon we have 3.54 gigahertz for the frequency so faster than M1 Max and 96
gigs of RAM now I went through all of these single scores here and I compared
them to the M1 Max and I noticed that the crypto score was actually a lot
lower on this new M2 Max than the M1 Max now there were a few different results
that had some nice improvements like camera for example PDF rendering we also
had speech recognition but for the most part everything lined up almost
identically which doesn't make sense and if we compare it to the M2 MacBook Pro
the single core score is a lot higher and the multi-score score is also fairly
high on that chip now that is also a five nanometer chip not three nanometers
so why is a five nanometer chip that has been out here for half a year now or
more going to be beating out in single core the M2 Max once that comes out
which would be likely a year after the M2 air and M2 Pro I also looked through
some of these single performance results and a lot of those actually matched up
to the M2 Max which is showing that the performance of that is likely on par
with five nanometer M2 not three nanometer M3 but it actually gets worse
we did a little bit of math on the M2 Chip in the performance of its
performance course versus efficiency and when we grab the single core score and
we multiply it we get 7764 for the performance and that leaves
us with 12 903 for the efficiency cores which are four of those 323 Port
efficiency core now the best leak performance score I found for the M2 Max
at 1889 for single and 14 586 for multi-core score that gives us 18 better
performance than the M1 Max for multi-core and then seven percent for
single core still not great nowhere SD are some of the gains that even Intel
AMD have been getting with their latest upgraded processors now doing the same
math if we are going to have eight performance cores and four efficiency
for 12 cores we'll get 15 a hundred and twelve multi-core score if it gets scale
and it doesn't have extra heat issues uh which the cores are similar there and
then we have to add in the performance of the efficiency cores because with the
M2 they are pretty powerful and that gives a total of 16
405 and that is almost 2 000 points higher than the best score that we see
now that is about 30 percent faster than the M1 Max and that is going off of the
lower performance count and going off of the M2 Chip that is five nanometer an
old old design and still that would actually be a reasonable result not what
we're seeing in these leaks now we also talks of the M2 Max having 10
performance cores and two efficiency to better differentiate it from the M1 Pro
because with that like the M1 Max and pro we told people just get the M1 Pro
if you use CPU best tasks performance is the same so that would help people want
to upgrade and if we had that if we do the math that would give us 18 890 for
the performance course 10 of those plus the efficiency 19
500. now that is based off a five nanometer if they could keep it cool of
course which I don't know if they can probably they cannot with this
configuration and that would be a game changer of the laptop that is what we
want that's what we've been waiting for but of course if it's on three nanometer
they could achieve this performance and better in single core but at the same
time it would run cooler and take less power and would be able to achieve
something like a 19500 and we thought we were getting three nanometer because
this machine got pushed back but it looks like off of these scores it
is five nanometer and actually even worse than the M2 by not scaling as well
and that is a huge bummer if this is true now there's still a chance that
they could have multiple versions they have a five millimeter version three
nanometer version they're trying to choose this could be one of the older
machines and they might have pushed it back for three nanometer these ships
should be ready in time so we're hoping for that but of course with the economy
and everything that's happening Apple could want to wait to release a three
nanometer it's going to cost a lot more when more people are going to be willing
to buy hopefully later down the line but that would just really suck that would
mean we're waiting another three four months and then another year and a half
for a much better three nanometer M3 Max at that point which is what we all want
in the machine that would be super quiet cool and extremely fast you guys let me
