Apple M2 Chip 💻

Apple M2 Chip

Apple is gearing up to launch four new Macs in 2022, powered by the company’s own M2 chip. Bloomberg reporter, Mark Gurman, expects the company to debut a 13-inch MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, 24-inch iMac, and a redesigned MacBook Air, all outfitted with the rumored M2 chip.

Apple debuted the M1 chip designed in-house in November 2020, and it did announce the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips specifically designed for the Mac lineup. The only chips that outperform the M1 Max are Intel’s Alder Lake processors.

Apple took the basic architecture of the A14, found in the iPhone 12, scaled it up to ultraportable laptop levels, and blew away the competition with what we called a “mind-boggling” improvement within speed and battery life.

With the M1 Pro and M1 Max in 2021, Apple scaled the architecture up further to performance laptops, and presumably upcoming desktops, and again became the processor against which all others were compared.

The M2’s CPU will probably be a bit speedier than the M1, but the chip should retain the same eight-core architecture. Graphics may get a boost, though, from seven or eight cores to nine or 10.

The Mac Pro chips will come in two main flavors: one that doubles the M1 Max’s capabilities and one that quadruples it. Look for 20 CPU cores and 64 graphics cores on the first chip, and 40 CPU cores and 128 graphics cores on the second.

We can expect to start seeing new Mac products at Apple’s next event, which is rumored to be on March 8th, but whether the M2 chips will make an appearance that soon remains to be seen.
