Apple M2 Max

The Apple M2 Max is an ARM-based (SoC) designed by Apple. It was announced by Apple for updated 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro models in the early morning of January 17, 2023.

Preliminary leaks and reports
The M2 Max is believed to be derived from improvements incorporated into the Apple M2 and manufactured by TSMC to Apple's design specifications. In November 2022, Geekbench scores were found to have been posted from an as-yet unknown 3.54 GHz 12-core CPU with 96 GB of memory running an unreleased build of macOS 13.2. Reported performance improvements were modest, in line with that of the Apple M2 over the M1, but total memory capacity was increased by 50%. In December 2022, additional Geekbench scores indicated somewhat higher numbers at an increased of 3.68 GHz.
