In Short: A supposed Geekbench result for an unreleased M6 Pro chip is likely fake, according to Geekbench creator John Poole.

A supposed Geekbench result for an unreleased Apple M6 Pro chip surfaced this week, but it is likely fake, according to Geekbench creator John Poole.

Poole informed MacRumors that he uncovered 'internal inconsistencies' that lead him to believe the result might not be legitimate.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman previously reported that Apple plans to skip the M6 Pro and M6 Max chips entirely, focusing instead on other chip options.

Apple is reportedly working on the M6 and M5 Pro chip options, as well as the N1 networking chip.

Additionally, the company is developing the M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips, which offer up to 512GB of memory for high-performance computing.
