The Apple M2 Max chip will target next-generation Macs and Macbooks and will offer more performance per core. At the same time, the processor is expected to be more powerful than the M1 Max in terms of performance per watt.The Apple M2 Max will be one of the high-end chips in the series, but not the most powerful. Because Apple is expected to launch products with M2 Ultra chips in 2023. On the other hand, when it comes to specifications, the Apple M2 Max chip will offer a total of 12 cores, with a 2 core increase compared to the M1 Max, which reaches a maximum of 10 cores. It remains unclear what the performance and efficiency core configuration will be.
However, the processor is reportedly running at a base frequency of 3.54 GHz and equipped with 4 MB of L2 cache. According to Geekbench data, it is seen that the maximum frequency speed of the processor will be 3.7 GHz. Leaked Geekbench table also draws attention to 96 GB memory. Therefore, the product on which this test is made may be the next generation Mac Studio.
What is the Apple M2 Max performance level?
When it comes to performance, the Apple M2 Max CPU managed to score 1889 points in single-core and 14586 points in multi-core tests. For comparison, the Apple M1 Max scores around 1750 points in single-core and 12,200 points in multi-core tests. This gives us up to 10% single-core and 20% multi-core performance improvement over the previous generation.Compared to some modern CPUs like Intel’s Core i9-13900K “Raptor Lake” and AMD’s Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4”, the Apple M2 Max smashes in both the single and multi-core test numbers because these desktop CPUs are single It achieves results of more than 2000 points in core and 20,000 points in multi-core. On the other hand, Apple will aim to get as close to these processors as possible with the M2 Ultra.
