M2 Chip Explained. The M2 is Apple's next-generation System on a Chip (SoC) developed for use in Macs and iPads. It marks Apple's continued work to transition away from the Intel chips that were ...

Apple has officially announced the M2 chip at its WWDC 2022 keynote.It’s the follow-up to the successful M1 chips that began Apple’s two-year transition to its own silicon for its Macs.

The M2 chip shows a lot of similarities to its older sibling also if you look under the hood. Made on a refined 5nm process node, it’s manufactured in a near-identical way to the M1.

Apple's second-gen silicon finally comes to every size MacBook (plus the Mac mini) with more power and better graphics. Here's what we know so far about the amped-up M2 chips.

From the M1, to the M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, and even M2, it’s become difficult to differentiate one from the other. So let’s sort it all out, starting with the M1. Apple Explained ...

The M2 Pro and M2 Max chips are all-new, though. Apple is throwing around a lot performance improvements. At the base, the M2 Pro chip comes with a 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU.

For the MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, Apple also didn’t change how it looks, ... Besides the M1 Pro power already explained above, users can choose the M2 Max chip.

The M2 might be the next-gen chip, but it will not outperform the M1 Max and Pro. The latter will still be the SoC of choice for any Mac with a “Pro” particle in the name.

Note that the new 16-inch MacBook Pro starts at $3,499 in the U.S. when configured with the M3 Max chip, while the Mac Studio with the M2 Ultra chip starts at $3,999, so you can effectively get ...
