As a technology leader, Apple’s M1 series processors have occupied the throne of the highest performance of ARM processors since they came out. Back in June this year, Apple released MacBook Pro and MacBook Air equipped with M2 processors at WWDC 2022. Since then, there have been rumors that Apple is preparing a great weapon.
On November 30, the newest product of Apple’s M-series processors, the M2 Max, appeared in the GeekBench run score library, but the run score improvement was not as good as before.
According to GeekBench platform information, M2 Max has 12 cores, the main frequency goes up to 3.54GHz and is equipped with 96GB RAM. The previous generation of M1 Max only has 10 CPU cores and 32 GPU cores and simultaneously supports 64GB RAM. This also means that the GPU core of M2 Max could be further improved, after all, M2 has many upgrades compared to M1.
The data shows that the single-core score of Apple M2 Max reaches 1889 points and the multi-core score reaches 14586 points. The single-core score of M1 Max can reach 1700-1800 points, and the multi-core score can reach 12800 points. This shows that the M2 Max has a limited single-core performance improvement over the M1 Max, which is not as big as imagined.
Although the single-core execution score has not improved much, compared with M1, which only supports up to 16GB RAM, M2 supports up to 24GB RAM, which can bring you better multitasking experience, and M2 also supports coding ProRes and natively supports ProRes format video clips, which greatly improves the work efficiency of film makers, and can edit up to 11 4K movie streams and two 8K movie streams simultaneously.
Earlier, Apple CEO Cook toured the Apple Austin campus and showed everyone the product that the Apple Austin engineering team is working hard to develop: Apple’s next generation Apple Silicon,
However, it is impossible to confirm whether the new generation processor is called M2 Ultra/Extreme or the alleged M3, but with the appearance of M2 Max, the new processor is very likely to be the M2 series processor.
