The surprise is that it’s only the second level chip (Standard, Pro, Max, Ultra) but that the M4 Pro outperforms both the M3 Max (there is no M3 Ultra at this point) and the M2 Ultra (a chip with almost twice as many cores as the M4 Pro).

Geekbench is more a "mid threading" benchmark on the multicore. Those extra 2x cores aren't really going to do much to increase the score as a result.

Sure, but (see my other comment in this thread): Max and Pro chips differ in GPU not CPU, and this benchmark says nothing about GPU performance.
