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 ...
Apple has said that the M2 chips have a 40% performance advantage compared to the M1s when it comes to the Neural Engine, and that’s a giant leap between the generations. Still, the only people who should explicitly care about this are those who know 100% that they use software...
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. ...
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...
If the 3nm process isn’t used for the still to launch M2 chips it looks certain to arrive with the M3. According to Digitimes, the first products using the 3nm processor will be released in the first quarter of 2023 with production starting at the end of 2022. Qualcomm, Samsung ...
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 ...
Apple has added powerful new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips to the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro. Here's how they stack up versus the M1 Max and M1 Pro models.
Apple's latest M3 Pro chip in the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro has 25% less memory bandwidth than the M1 Pro and M2 Pro chips used in...
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 ...
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 chance. From our chart, the M2 is about six percent slower than M1 Pro. Where the M2 does shine is in ...
