The Geekbench 5 database entry appears to feature an M2 Max engineering sample with 12 ARM cores that is 10% faster in single-core tests and 20% faster in multi-core tests compared to the M1 Max.

What is the breakdown of the cores though? (Big/little, or Performance/efficient cores if you prefer).
Original M1 was
M1 8(4P/4e)
M1 Pro either 8/10(6 or 8P/2e)
M1 Max 10(8P/2e)
M1 Ultra: 20(16P/4e)

So far M2 is identical core count to M1 (4P/4e). This is the first to show increase of cores so is it 8P/4e or 10P/2e? I do find it interesting that apple is doing the inverse of Intel, more big cores less small cores.

You forgot to mention the mandatory 30% price hike, to go along the 20% performance increase lol
