The 7940HS is way faster than the M2. Efficiency is harder to compare since TDP doesn't mean anything theses days.

In cinebench, or in (eg) compiling or JVM/Javacode/other bytecode workloads etc?

because even in cinebench the m3 max is already ahead in cinebench 2024 let alone R23...

We were talking about the M2.

The M3 max is on TSMC N3B, which have a +30% of transistor density compared to the TSMC nodes AMD is using (N4).
