Hello everyone. This is my first Macbook ever. I went with 14 cores/36GB of Ram, 32 core GPU.
The performance is fairly bad. Cinebench puts me below an M4 Pro with very similar specs (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/my-cinebench-results-m4-pro-24gb-512-gb-ssd.2442413/)
Others with an M4 Max are reporting much better performance on various applications, namely games like FFXIV using custom clients like XIVonMac.
At one point someone with an M4 Base Mini was outdoing my M4 Max on certain applications.
Is your M4 Max by chance also running terribly? Any ideas on what this might be?
This is using Sequoia 15.1.
Tried both High Performance and normal.
Is this Macbook a dud, or is there something I'm missing?
Please let me know if your performance is similarly bad.
