The first Geekbench 6 benchmark results for the high-end M4 Max chip with a 16-core CPU have emerged today, and they show that the chip is 25% faster than the high-end M2 Ultra chip with a 24-core CPU in terms of peak multi-core CPU performance.
The M4 Pro chip's benchmark results have already appeared in the Geekbench 6 database on Thursday. Based on the results so far, the M4 Max is 20% faster than the M4 Pro in peak multi-core performance.
Here are the results (averaged):
- MacBook Pro with M4 Max (16-core): 26,675 multi-core score (highest), 26,445 multi-core score (3 results)
- Mac mini with M4 Pro (14-core): 22,094 multi-core score (11 results)
- Mac Studio with M2 Ultra (24-core): 21,351 (600+ results)
M4 Max is now Apple’s fastest silicon chip in Geekbench 6, beating the M2 Ultra that Apple is bringing to the Mac Studio and Mac Pro in June 2023.
As we mentioned in our previous report, you can now buy a Mac mini with a 14-core M4 Pro for $1,599 in the US and get similar or better peak performance than the Mac Studio with a 24-core M2 Ultra, which starts at $3,999. And if you want 25% faster performance than the M2 Ultra, the 16-inch MacBook Pro with a 16-core M4 Max starts at the same $3,999 price as the Mac Studio.
