It has more than 20 billion transistors (25% more than M1), an 8-core CPU, and up to a 10-core GPU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What does that actually equal in real life? Well, Apple claims the M2\u2019s CPU and GPU are 18% and 35% faster respectively over M1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new silicon also boasts of a 40% faster 16-core neural engine capable of nearly 16 trillion operations per second. It also will be able to support 100GB\/s memory bandwidth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For people using the computers it should result in better performance for those CPU-heavy applications used in music production, video rendering, 3D modelling, and similar. Of course Apple said performance trounces Windows computers, boasting of twice the performance of a 10-core PC laptop at the same power level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, Apple said the GPU in the M2 can run 2.3x faster than \u201cthe latest PC laptop chip\u201d and \u201cmatches its peak performance at the same power level\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This taunting is usual but the M1 was so good that we won\u2019t be surprised if this proves to be true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New hardware<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This M2 update comes after the M1 was launched in November 2020. Since then, Apple has added the M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra to the line-up. M2 will be able to support up to 24GB of LPDDR5 memory, leaving the door open for possible similar beefed-up iterations for desktop Macs soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/battery-pc-laptop_Lab.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Laptop Battery<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/hotproduct.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Hot Products<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple announced its M2 processor at its 2022 WWDC event, claiming the new silicon can eke out 18% greater performance compared to the M1 chip in current Macs.
