Combined with a larger cache and higher memory bandwidth, the 10-core GPU is designed to deliver a boost in graphics performance, bringing up to 25% more graphics performance than M1 at the same power level, and up to 35% better performance at its max power.Ĭompared with the integrated graphics of the latest PC laptop chip, Apple claims that the GPU in M2 delivers 2.3x faster performance at the same power level, and matches its peak performance using a fifth of the power. M2 also features Apple’s next-generation GPU with up to 10 cores, which is 2 more two more than the M1. When compared to the latest 12-core PC laptop chip, Apple claims the M2 provides nearly 90% of the peak performance of the 12-core chip while using just one-quarter of the power. And, M2 delivers the peak performance of the PC chip while using just a quarter of the power. Together, they deliver 18% greater multithreaded performance than M1, so M2 can handle CPU-intensive tasks using very little power, like creating music with layers of effects or applying complex filters to photos.Ĭompared with the latest 10-core PC laptop chip, the CPU in M2 provides nearly twice the performance at the same power level. The new M2 features faster performance cores paired with a larger cache, while the efficiency cores have been significantly enhanced for even greater performance gains. And with up to 24GB of fast unified memory, M2 has been designed to handle even larger and more complex workloads. The additional transistors improve features across the entire chip, including the memory controller that delivers 100GB/s of unified memory bandwidth, 50% more than M1. The system-on-a-chip (SoC) design of M2 is built using enhanced, second-generation 5-nanometer technology, and consists of 20 billion transistors, which is 25% more than M1. And along with higher memory bandwidth and new capabilities like ProRes acceleration, M2 continues the tremendous pace of innovation in Apple silicon for the Mac.” With our relentless focus on power-efficient performance, M2 delivers a faster CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine. “M2 starts the second generation of M-series chips and goes beyond the remarkable features of M1. Johny Srouji, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Technologies told us…

M2 brings all of this, plus new custom technologies and greater efficiency, to the completely redesigned MacBook Air and updated 13-inch MacBook Pro. It also delivers 50% more memory bandwidth compared to M1, and up to 24GB of fast unified memory. The M2 SoC has 24GB of unified LPDDR5 memory, up 8GB from the M1.īuilt using second-generation 5-nanometer technology, Apple’s M2 takes their performance per watt of M1 even further with an 18% faster CPU, a 35% more powerful GPU, and a 40% faster Neural Engine. The M2 System on a Chip (SoC) has the same number of cores as the original M1 chip (8) with 4 high-performance cores and 4 high-efficiency cores as does the M1 but runs faster and comes with more graphics cores, with 9 or 10 GPU cores, up from the 7 or 8 that came with the M.
