　　As rumored, Apple launched the M2 chip at this year's developer conference (WWDC), as well as the new MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro equipped with the M2 chip.

　　The M2 chip adopts the second-generation 5nm process technology. Compared with the M1 chip, the M2 chip's CPU speed is up to 18% faster, the GPU performance is up to 35% faster, and the neural network engine is up to 40% faster. Compared with the M1 chip, the M2 chip is configured with 50% more memory bandwidth and can support up to 24GB of fast unified memory.

　　The M2 chip is fully loaded with 20 billion transistors, 25% more than the M1 chip. The increase in transistors has resulted in a significant leap in the functionality of the entire chip, including the memory controller that can bring 100GB of unified memory bandwidth per second, 50% higher than the M1 chip. Combined with up to 24GB of fast unified memory, the M2 chip can handle larger, more complex workflows.

　　The multi-threaded performance of the M2 chip is 18% higher than that of the M1 chip, and it can quickly process CPU-intensive tasks with very little power, such as creating multi-layered music or applying complex filters to photos.

　　Apple pointed out that compared with the latest 10-core PC notebook computer chips, the M2 chip's CPU can bring nearly twice the performance under the same power consumption. In addition, the M2 chip only uses a quarter of the power consumption to achieve the peak performance of the PC chip. The latest 12-core PC laptop chips require a lot of power to get performance up, so they're typically used in thicker, hotter, and noisier systems with shorter battery life. In contrast, the M2 chip only uses a quarter of the power consumption, which can achieve 90% of the peak performance of the 12-core chip.

　　The M2 chip is also powered by Apple's next-generation GPU, with up to 10 cores, 2 more than the M1 chip. The 10-core GPU is equipped with larger cache and higher memory bandwidth, which greatly improves the graphics performance. It brings 25% higher graphics performance than the M1 chip under the same power consumption, and can bring up to 35% under the highest power consumption. % excellent performance.

　　Compared to the integrated graphics of the latest PC notebook chips, the GPU of the M2 chip delivers 2.3 times faster performance at the same power consumption, and uses only one-fifth of the power consumption to achieve peak performance. The increased performance per watt of the M2 chip allows the system to deliver excellent battery life and run cool and quiet, even when playing graphics-intensive games or editing a lot of RAW images.
