The first Geekbench 6 results for the 16-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Max landed this week, and the numbers are staggering. If you've been waiting for a sign to upgrade, this might be it. M5 Max Sets a Multi-Core CPU Record No Other Chip Has Touched The headline number is hard to ignore. In an unconfirmed Geekbench 6 result, the M5 Max with its 18-core CPU achieved a multi-core score of 29,233 — sitting above the previous record holder, the Mac Studio's M3 Ultra, which scored 27,726 despite packing a 32-core CPU. That's not a typo. A chip with 18 cores just beat a chip with 32 cores in raw multi-core performance. This makes the M5 Max the fastest Apple silicon chip ever released. More impressively, it tops every other consumer PC processor currently listed in the Geekbench database. No AMD. No Intel. Nothi…
