Along with the new MacBook Pro laptops, Apple also unveiled two new processors for Mac devices. M2 Pro scales up the architecture of M2 to deliver an up to 12-core CPU and up to 19-core GPU, together with up to 32GB of fast unified memory. M2 Max builds on the capabilities of M2 Pro, including an up to 38-core GPU, double the unified memory bandwidth, and up to 96GB of unified memory.
Both chips also feature enhanced custom technologies, including a faster 16-core Neural Engine and Apple’s powerful media engine, said Apple in a press release.
M2 Pro: What it brings
The M2 processor is built using a second-generation 5-nanometer process technology and consists of 40 billion transistors — nearly 20 per cent more than M1 Pro, and double the amount in M2. It features 200GB/s of unified memory bandwidth — twice that of M2 — and up to 32GB of low-latency unified memory. The next-generation 10- or 12-core CPU consists of up to eight high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores, resulting in multithreaded CPU performance that is up to 20 per cent faster than the 10-core CPU in M1 Pro. Apple claims that apps like Adobe Photoshop run heavy workloads faster than ever, and compiling in Xcode is up to 2.5x faster than on the fastest Intel-based MacBook Pro.
The GPU in M2 Pro can be configured with up to 19 cores — three more than the GPU in M1 Pro — and includes a larger L2 cache. Graphics speeds are up to 30 per cent faster than that of M1 Pro, said Apple.
M2 Max: What it brings
The M2 Max consists of 67 billion transistors — 10 billion more than the M1 Max and more than 3x that of the M2. Its 400GB/s of unified memory bandwidth is twice that of M2 Pro, 4x that of M2, and supports up to 96GB of fast unified memory, according to Apple.
M2 Max features the same next-generation 12-core CPU as M2 Pro. The GPU is even more powerful with up to 38 cores and is paired with a larger L2 cache. Graphics speeds climb up to 30 per cent faster than M1 Max. Apple claims that with 96GB of memory, the new MacBook Pro with M2 Max “can tackle graphics-intensive projects that competing systems can’t even run.”
