An M6 Pro listing on Geekbench 7 showing superior performance to the M5 Max is likely fraudulent, according to Geekbench creator John Poole who identified internal inconsistencies. Apple is reportedly skipping the M6 Pro and M6 Max in favor of the M7 Pro and M7 Max, making the benchmark results suspect.
A Chinese content creator leaked an engineering prototype video of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, revealing its 2nm design, new CPU configuration, and Geekbench 6 scores. While the chipset shows strong multi-core performance, Apple's A20 Pro remains faster in single-core benchmarks. The prototype features a new Heat Pass Block for thermal management ahead of the Snapdragon Summit.
