Not true, obviously: M4 Max in the new Macbook Pros has been benchmarked to be faster [1].

Its not just a little faster than the #2; looking at ~15-20% uplifts in both single and multi compared to the previous kings. The previous production single core #1 was ~3100; Apple skipped over most of the 3000s right into the 4000s.

The article itself directly acknowledges this saying “of course this will be surpassed once we can benchmark the m4 max” (or something similar).

I wonder if their rules are “we only announce benchmarks we’ve done ourselves”? Coupled with “well we need some readers today and our MacBook order hasn’t arrived”

> Of course, it will soon be surpassed by the M4 Max chip with a 16-core CPU, but no results are available for that chip as of writing.

The linked M4 Max benchmark is from after the article was published, so I don’t think this thread demonstrates fair criticism.

Oh I didn’t look at the linked benchmark because I assumed that the person who posted it would have ensured that the compared “already existing” benchmark was already existing when the article was posted. Derp.
