- MacRumors reports that a Geekbench listing purportedly showing an Apple M6 Pro chip is likely fake, with AppleInsider noting the benchmark surfaced despite claims the M6 generation will be short-lived.
- Separately, leaked Geekbench scores for the Apple M5 Ultra show big GPU gains and reportedly demolish AMD's 96-core Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX CPU.
Why it matters: Apple silicon benchmark leaks now require credibility checks: the M6 Pro listing appears fabricated, while the M5 Ultra numbers suggest Apple's GPU roadmap is delivering meaningful performance gains over AMD's high-end Threadripper silicon.
