possible Chip M2 Max., which will be the processor that will update the M1 Max for the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros announced in 2021, has surfaced on Geekbench, showing both its main specs and its post-benchmark results. Two aspects that allow us to preview the improvements in terms of power that may come with new Macs.
The alleged M2 Max is equipped with “Mac 14.4,” a name that could refer to either the new MacBook Pro or the updated Mac Studio, depending on what it says. MacRumorsWell Geekbench shows that the model has 96 GB of RAM, a feature currently only available on the aforementioned Apple desktop. The team is also working on macOS 13.2, a version that’s not even available in developer beta.
SoC, in particular, only reveals information about its processor, which will be 12-core (two more cores than the M1 Max chip), which allowed us to get 1853 points on a single core and 13855 points on multiple cores. These results are very similar to what the M1 Max chip gets in their respective performance tests: 1755 in single-core and 12333 in multi-core, so the improvements of the M2 Max chip in terms of power compared to the M1 Max will not be as pronounced, for example, as we saw with chip M2 compared to M1.
When will the first Macs with the M2 Max chip arrive?
The performance test of the alleged M2 Max chip is further proof of the upcoming arrival of new Macs in the Apple catalog. The Cupertino company, in fact, could announce new models at any time or at the latest – according to sources from Bloomberg—, spring 2023.
The M2 Max chip, like the M2 Pro, is expected to first came 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro; versions that retain the same design and other features as the current generation; including a MagSafe port, an HDMI connector, or no touchpad.
The RAM configuration shown by the model that passed the tests, we repeat, is currently only available in Mac Studio. So, It wouldn’t be strange if Apple upgraded this hardware with the new M2 Max chip., despite some rumors indicating the company’s intention to discontinue this model to make room for the Mac Pro with Apple Silicon. However, this Mac Pro may come with a much more powerful SoC than the one that will upgrade the M1 Max.
