Apple M2 Max leaked benchmark gets us excited for MacBook Pros in 2023 Apple’s M2 Max chip, which will succeed the current M1 Max , has been spotted in leaked benchmarks giving us an idea of how much faster the next-gen variant might be. As Wccftech reports, this comes in the form of Geekbench results picked up by Benchleaks on Twitter, which as always with leaks, we should be suitably cautious around. Apple M2 Maxhttps://t.co/aXcjUIB9bGhttps://t.co/8whb0JpWOI November 30, 2022 See more In Geekbench, the M2 Max racked up a tally of 1,889 points for single-core, and in multi-core pushed ahead to 14,586. Comparing that to the current M1 Max, which hits about 1,750 and 12,200 respectively, meaning that the M2 Max is shaping up to be around 8% quicker for single-core, and 20% more speedy in terms of multi-core performance.

Last chance: Get a heavily discounted ThinkPad X1 Carbon this Cyber Monday We love the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon series, and the latest Gen 10 model is no exception. It's a timeless design that Lenovo has subtly iterated on over the years, making for a stellar professional laptop for those who prefer Windows over macOS or Chrome OS. Even better, it's $1,151.60 down from $2,879 on Lenovo's website - a whopping discount. This discount is still going strong even after the official end of Cyber Monday - in fact, we reported on it previously, and it's actually gone down again by more than a hundred bucks. Lenovo clearly wants to shift its stock, and the consumer is the winner here. That's just one model on sale for Black Friday , too: there are a variety of configurations , all heavily discounted at better-than-half-price. The biggest reduction is the high-end $4,169 model, which has had almost half slashed off the retail price to bring it down to $2,090.75. Over

Intel Raptor Lake laptop CPU benchmark points to a multi-core monster , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

Intel Raptor Lake laptop CPU benchmark points to a multi-core monster One of Intel’s incoming laptop processors for Raptor Lake has been spotted in a benchmark, and it beefs up the core count compared to its Alder Lake predecessor. First off, arm yourself with a skeptical attitude as always around these kind of leaks, but the mobile CPU in question is the Core i7-1370P which is the successor to the Core i7-1270P. (It’s part of Intel’s low-power range, which the ‘P’ denotes). Going by the benchmark which appeared on Geekbench, as surfaced by BenchLeaks on Twitter (via Tom’s Hardware ), the Core i7-1370P will have six performance cores and eight efficiency cores, making for a total of 14-cores (and 20-threads, as only the performance cores use hyper-threading).
