The MacBook Professional line now consists of M4 Max chips
The M4 Max is probably the most highly effective chip in Apple’s assortment, with an early benchmark exhibiting the MacBook Professional leaving the Mac Studio or Mac Professional with M2 Extremely in its mud.
Late on Thursday, supposed benchmarks for the M4 Professional surfaced on Geekbench, seemingly exhibiting that the M4 Professional is a particularly highly effective chip. On Friday, benchmarks for the M4 Max have virtually cemented the M4 vary’s standing as probably the most highly effective chips Apple’s ever made.
The benchmark for the Mac16,5, a 16-inch MacBook Professional, appeared within the Geekbench outcomes browser early on Friday morning. The itemizing states it makes use of an M4 Max chip with 16 cores, divided into 12 efficiency cores and 4 effectivity cores, and a clock velocity of 1.5GHz.
The primary figures for the itemizing say the Mac scored 4,060 for Geekbench’s single-core check, and 26,675 for the multi-core model.
Preliminary Geekbench scores for the M4 Professional and M4 Max in opposition to the M2 Extremely

Each of those outcomes are a lot increased than the 2023 Mac Studio with the M2 Extremely. That mannequin is listed with 2,777 for the single-core check and 21,351 for the multi-core, though the mannequin examined had 24 CPU cores.
As early benchmarks for fashions which have but to be launched to the general public, the figures needs to be thought of with trepidation. It’s solely attainable that the numbers are faked or incorrect.
That stated, they do appear to be pretty real looking and consistent with the efficiency claims Apple has made in its bulletins.
As reviewers and different early customers get to check out the brand new Mac fashions, the multitude of benchmarks will supply a real view of efficiency enhancements.
It does, nevertheless, tease at what an M4 Extremely chip may very well be like. Successfully two M4 Max chips with an interconnect and subsequently double the cores, the rating must also be about twice as excessive because the M4 Max.
