The article itself directly acknowledges this saying “of course this will be surpassed once we can benchmark the m4 max” (or something similar).

I wonder if their rules are “we only announce benchmarks we’ve done ourselves”? Coupled with “well we need some readers today and our MacBook order hasn’t arrived”

> Of course, it will soon be surpassed by the M4 Max chip with a 16-core CPU, but no results are available for that chip as of writing.

The linked M4 Max benchmark is from after the article was published, so I don’t think this thread demonstrates fair criticism.

Oh I didn’t look at the linked benchmark because I assumed that the person who posted it would have ensured that the compared “already existing” benchmark was already existing when the article was posted. Derp.
