Yes, they have the same cores but the memory bandwidth is double the speed: “M2 Pro’s memory maxes out at 32GB, but the M2 Max can handle as much as 96GB. And memory bandwidth on the M2 Max is double that on the M2 Pro”.

You can see here the M2 Pro got an 80 benchmark and the M2 Max, the line above the commit, got a 72 (arbitrary numbers, for sure, but a real difference!):
