ABOUT THE M2 CHIP:

Comparison of M1 and M2 chips' performance
  • The M2 chip kicks off Apple's next generation of silicon, with even greater speed and power efficiency than the M1. With a more powerful 8-core CPU, you can get more done quicker.
  • With a 10-core GPU, you can create stunning graphics and animations. With the high-performance media engine, you can work with additional streams of 4K and 8K ProRes video.
  • M2 chip packs in a massive 20 billion transistors which are whooping 25% more than its predecessor M1. Its 16-core Neural Engine can do up to 15.8 trillion operations per second, allowing it to speed up machine learning processes. Up to 24GB of high-performance unified memory provides shared memory access to the CPU and GPU.
  • Multitasking and running numerous programmed is a breeze because of the 100GB/s memory bandwidth, which is 50% faster than the M1.

 

CPU PERFORMANCE: M2 Chip with 8 Core CPU is 18% faster than M1. So you can get things done quickly, like preparing documents and presentations or tackle more difficult activities like coding in Xcode or mixing songs in Logic Pro with Spatial Audio with the advanced capabilities of M2

GPU PERFORMANCE: M2 has up to 10 core GPU which delivers a big boost in graphics performance as compared to first-generation M1. It is capable of doing everything - from photo editing to editing videos in 4K & 8K quality. It is up to 35% faster also. It also boasts the support of ProRes video encode and decode.

16 CORE NEURAL ENGINE: 16 specialised cores are functioning as a Neural Processing Unit (NPU). Apple has dedicatedly provided 16 Core Neural Engines for Machine Learning (ML) & task related to Artificial Intelligence (AI).
