M4 Max vs M5 Max
Signed, community-submitted decode tok/s, prefill, and TTFT for M4 Max vs M5 Max — every number links to the run it came from.
Verdict
M4 Max and M5 Max both have submitted runs, but no single model has been measured on both yet — so there is no apples-to-apples row. Each side's measured decode tok/s is listed separately below (peaks of 113 and 88 tok/s). Submit a shared workload to turn this into a direct comparison.
