The M4 Max became Apple's fastest silicon chip in the Geekbench 6 database, surpassing the M2 Ultra, which Apple released with Mac Studio and Mac Pro in June 2023.
According to the available results, the M4 Max is up to 20% faster than the M4 Pro in terms of peak multi-core processor performance.
- MacBook Pro with M4 Max (16-core CPU) - 26,675 points (multi-core score)
- Mac mini with M4 Pro (14-core CPU) - 22,094 points (multi-core score)
- Mac Studio with M2 Ultra (24-core CPU) - 21,351 points (multi-core score)
That is, if you buy a Mac mini with a 14-core M4 Pro processor for $1599, you get the same high peak performance as a Mac Studio with a 24-core M2 Ultra processor for $3999.
