		rootusrootus 6 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Apple M5 chip I was thinking similar thoughts about my M2 Max MBP. I look at the newer chips and wonder at what point will (or has it happened already) will the base M chip outperform my M2 Max? I'll probably hold onto it a while anyway -- I think it will be a while before I find 96GB limiting or the CPU slow enough for my purposes, but I'd still like to know how things are progressing.

Base M4 was already slightly outperforming the M2 Max in CPU. GPU-wise it's nowhere near close.
