Apple’s new M4 Max is the fastest CPU on the market, and we haven’t even seen M4 Ultra

Apple unveiled its new MacBook Pro models this week, with M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chipsets. The new M4 Pro chip in the Mac mini already showed some very promising results , making it the fastest Mac ever. However, M4 Max takes it to an all new level, and performs among the highest end PC chips on the market.

To preface, all of these comparisons are based on Geekbench 6. There could be varying workflows where M4 Max may not be the best

Benchmarks of Apple's newly launched M4 Max have started to surface at Geekbench . Unsurprisingly, Apple has retained its performance crown and has taken over at the helm of Geekbench as the fastest chip. Even the multi-core performance puts Intel's and AMD's latest offerings to shame, that too at a fraction of the power.

The test bench features the new 16-inch MacBook Pro, which hosts the M4 Max in all its glory. Apple's

On-package memory is one of the factors that made Apple's M-series processors fast, efficient, and compact. With its Core Ultra 200V (Lunar Lake) processors, Intel adopted the same architecture, which enabled what Intel says is a great product but severely hurt Intel's profit margins. The chipmaker (via SeekingAlpha ) says it will no longer feature on-package memory for next-gen CPUs.

"[On-package memory is] a
