Apple M2 chip announced

In an online event, Apple announced their latest chipset for the Mac. Dubbed the Apple M2, this chip is the successor to the M1 chip with more power-efficient features.

The Apple M2 chip comes with an 8-core processor (4 high-performance core + 4 high-efficient cores) with a 10-core GPU. On average, the M2 chip is 18% better than the M1 chip in terms of CPU performance and up to 35% for GPU. It also comes with a 16-core Neural Engine.

The new M2 chip is built on a 5nm technology process and up to 20 billion transistors. It also supports up to 100Gbps of memory bandwidth (50% more than the M1), and up to 24GB LPDDR5 of unified memory.

The Apple M2 chip will be available on the entire Mac line-up next month, starting with the newly re-designed 2022 Macbook Air and Macbook Pro.
