The new chip could increase the total core count from the M1 Max’s 10 cores (eight performance, two low-power), adding raw processing power without additional low-power cores.

Other early leaks suggest that an upgraded version of the Apple M1 Max could be coming, which uses 10 high-performance cores and two low-power cores.
