When Apple unveiled its updated 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros alongside a refreshed 24-inch iMac, it also took the wraps off a trio of new chips. The M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max are updated versions of the previous M2 series and it turns out that they're pretty quick indeed.
At least, the M3 Max is. That's just one of the chips that we've already seen pop up in early Geekbench results. Sitting inside the updated 16-inch MacBook Pro, the M3 Max was put through its paces, presumably, by someone who got their hands on an early unit. The results were then unloaded to the internet and that was that. But that isn't even the most interesting part of the story.
