| Cool, but Apple didn't announce any M6 Pro yet, so where is this coming from? |

| Probably internal tests? The software identifies the hardware, performs the benchmarks, and sends the heading and results to the Geekbench DB. Somebody who had the machine at hand must have run it. |

| I thought they were skipping the M6 pro chips (or is that just the max and ultra?) to accelerate AI focused M7. |

| ▲ | GeekyBear 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | The word was that they weren't going to ship systems with the M6 Pro, Max or Ultra. The M7 generation has updated the tensor instructions in the GPU cores and they want to ship that ASAP. | | | |
| ▲ | reitzensteinm 6 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | If they’re rushing the M7, it’s possible the M6 Pro and Max will be MacBook Ultra only. It would certainly give it quite a halo. | |

| How does Geekbench even verify what CPU I'm using? Couldnt you inject forged data and add a even faster M100? |

| Internal leaks, these happen frequently. Employees have access to these devices for months prior to launch. Someone ran a benchmark and uploaded it on a machine they weren't supposed to. |

| ▲ | gizajob 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | I find that hard to believe at Apple. Not even possible that it’s accidental. They have their own internal tools, all packets leaving the network will be interrogated, leaking data is a sackable offence… if it’s in the geekbench database then it’s there because they put it there. | | |

They have their own internal tools, all packets leaving the network will be interrogated, leaking data is a sackable offence This is a story that folks like to tell, but it's not really how things work - at least since they stopped letting Steve Jobs lock all his engineers in the conference venue. Leaks are a sackable offence at every tech firm, deep packet inspection firewalls are used all over the place, information leaks like this still happen pretty much every single product cycle. | | |
| ▲ | VerifiedReports 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | People love to tell stories about how stuff is done at Apple, which are often utter bullshit. Not to mention that Apple has a huge number of teams, and no absolute standards across them. People would be shocked at the things Apple DOESN'T do. Then again, with the current state of their QA, I think it's becoming clear what Apple doesn't do much of anymore. |

| ▲ | dainiusse 6 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | +1 . The only case it is allowed is Apple's own marketing team. | |
| ▲ | discordance 6 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | It’s happened in the past. Like that employee who left the unreleased iPhone in a bar by accident. | |
