Earlier this week, Apple announced the new MacBook Pro with its highly anticipated M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips. We have already seen what the M4 Pro chip’s performance would be like based on benchmarks, and to our surprise, the chip beats the M2 Ultra in multi-core score. Now, the Geekbench 6 Metal score of the new M4 Max chip has leaked, which shows how the company is massively progressing in the SoC segment and the gains that users should expect from the new chips.
The M4 Max chip with a 40-core GPU receives a major boost in benchmarks, almost 25 percent higher than last year’s iteration
Geekbench’s Metal scores were shared on social media by Vadim Yuryev, and he compared the scores with that of order Max variants of older M series chips. The Metal score determines the graphical output of the chip and how easily it will handle the tasks at hand. The M4 Max compute scores have also leaked online, showcasing a major jump in single-core performance, roughly 45 percent better than that of the M3 Max chip. As for the Metal score, the M4 Max chip received a whopping 192,532 points, which shows the true capabilities of the SoC.
The M4 Max chip part of the test features a 40-core GPU, and for reference, the 76-core M2 Ultra chip received 221,646 points. The performance difference between the two is significant, but we also have to consider the ratio between the core count of the GPU. The M3 Max from last year, on the flip side, received 154,860 points in the Metal test. It can be observed that the M4 Max chip is noticeably faster in the graphical…
