Use cases that depend primarily on CPU and do not need significant GPU processing show similar performance between the Pro and Max chips with have exactly the same CPU core count. 10 cores = 10 cores
It was pretty clear when Apple released these 2 variants of the M1 chip that the purpose of the Max was to provide a significantly larger GPU for specific processing needs. Many applications spend most of their time using the CPU with only moderate to minimal use of the GPU.
This is the expected outcome.
