The latest MacBook Air is powered by the M2 Apple Silicon, offering even better performance than the M1 series of chips. It comes with an all-new design similar to the new MacBook Pro models, fast internal memory, excellent battery life, and an Apple M2 chipset that provides all the perf...
Apple just announced the next generation of MacBooks will be powered by the M2. The new processors are designed to improve performance and power efficiency over the last-generation chips from Apple. But just how much more powerful is the M2, and is it worth upgrading? Here’s everything ...
Unsurprisingly, the M2 blows the M1 out of the water with about 20 percent higher multi-core performance. For reference, Apple claimed the M2's CPU is 18 percent faster, which turns out to be true. However, compared to other chips in the M1 lineup, the M2 still doesn't stand a chanc...
Once I was finally convinced of the power of the Apple M series chips, I decided to trade my next-to-last generation Intel Macbook Pro for a 14-inch M2 Macbook Pro. While slow compared to the M chips, my beloved iMac Pro is still a workhorse, so I kept it in production and went...
In effect, Apple's new chips provide up to 70% faster performance than the CPU of the M1. In terms of performance, the Intel chips are relatively similar for single-core testing under Geekbench, managing 1,011 in the six-core version, 1,062 in the 2.3GHz Core i9, and ...
We often refer to Apple Silicon as chips because they are system-on-chips that combine the CPU and GPU (and for that matter RAM, which Apple refers to as Unified Memory). The various M-series chips offer a variety of CPU and GPU cores. ...
The chip that started it all, the good ol’ M1, may seem slow compared to Apple’s more current chips—but that’s not to undermine Apple’s original Mac processor. Remember, the M1 blows past the Intel processors it replaced, resulting in a significant price/performance value. ...
But it's when the M2 is compared to 10-core and 12-core chips that we find some impressive gains. Comparing the Apple Silicon M2 to the M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra CPU cores GPU cores Max memory Neural Engine Cores M2
The M1 chip brings up to 3.5x faster CPU performance, up to 6x faster GPU performance, and up to 15x faster machine learning capabilities compared to the Intel chips used in prior-generation machines. Compared to the latest PC laptop chips, the M1 offers 2x faster CPU performance and does ...
Judging from Thursday's news, different levels of M4 chips will also be equipped with Mac computers with different positions. Among them, the Donan chip will be used in the entry-level MacBook Pro, the new MacBook Air, and the low-end Mac mini; the Brava chip will run the high-end ...
