Their official benchmarks => https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html

According to PassMark CPU Benchmarks, a trusted source, updated frequently, the M3 Max 16 Core is the fastest single thread cpu with a score of 4,785, followed by the M3 Max 14 Core with a score of 4,771.

Although the numbers above are close, it does not make much sense to me that a chip with more CPUs will be faster on single thread performance than the same chip with less CPUs. But I can be wrong.

Also, according to this list, even the M3 8 Core beats the M4 chips (Pro and Max included). Again on single thread performance.

Am I missing something or the M3 for single thread performance is faster than the M4?

I can't emphasize enough that I'm only talking about single thread performance here.

You should take a lot at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, especially the bits about titles.

Sorry about that. I'm new here. Would you be so kind as to tell me what I did wrong? I'll be happy to correct it and learn not to do it again.

It's in the thing I linked, which you should read when you get a chance. On HN, you can't put your comment in the title - use the original title unless the original title is misleading or clickbait.

I see. Sorry about that. Won't be putting any more comments in the title. Thanks for your guidance.

I HAVE NOW CHANGED THE TITLE => Thanks again!

That's still cherrypicking what you think is important and putting it in the title. Lists of benchmark results (with or without made-up titles) in general don't make good HN posts. You can use the search feature to find lots of M-related threads that can probably answer your specific question, though

If you don't mind suggesting a better title I'll be happy to change it
