Hello Apple enthusiasts, I need your assistance for a little (lemmy.world)

I came here to ask for a little help.

I've been delivered an M2 Max MBP with 30 GPU Cores, but after a few tests it appears that there is an hardware problem with my machine.

I contacted Apple Care and they will send me someone to replace the Mac, since they agreed with me that there was a problem.

To reveal the issue I realized a benchmark from the Apple promoted browserserbench.org named MotionMark. The benchmark is aimed at testing graphic capabilities.

My request is simple. Could any of you that own an M1 Max or an M2 Max realize that benchmark in Safari (that part is essential) and communicate me the results you get? The test is a bit long, about five minutes.

Thank you vey much!

EDIT:

Alright guys, I've got an update.

First of all, thank you so much for your answers!

Second, since you were giving the same results as I found I decided to run some other graphic tests to compare with other similar machines and didn't find any issue. I used Blender Benchmark and Geekbench Metal compute and get same or better results as average on a M2 Max with 30 GPU cores.

I think there might be a software issue with the last version of macOS regarding graphic capabilities on the Web. Another reason could be hardware, as M chips have dedicated JavaScript processing units that could have limited connection with the GPU.

Anyway, thank you all very much. I'm gonna cancel that replacement and start enjoying my new beast.

Cheers!

Ventura 13.4.1, I ran the benchmark again and got 3660, minimal or negligible stutter noticed with the playing card signs. I guess I will be contacting Apple Care soon regarding this.
