Apple's MacBook Pro 14 cannot handle the M5 Max

[Redaktion]

If you are interested in the new M5 Max SoC, we recommend you get the larger MacBook Pro 16. The compact 14-inch model suffers from inconsistent performance. This is not only the case for the stress test, but also pure CPU or GPU performance.

It's news to me, or anyone else who hasn't potentially bought a Mac since the Apple silicon change.

[Just to clarify]

I think what they meant by that comment is the same thing happened on the M1 max 14" which was released over 4 years ago.

There are people on Reddit posting years ago they returned their 14" M1 max for 16" M1 max models for this very reason.

So it seems not much has changed since then..
