Let’s talk about the M2 chip in detail, the future of Apple

Well, it’s been two years since the apple and one chip was launched. It was the first ARM, based Apple Silicon hardware, but now we finally have a successor to it, the M2 chip. Although the M1 ship was very powerful and showed off what Apple could accomplish with a more efficient mobile design, which was a very dramatic departure from the power-hungry X86 processors from Intel. Well, now the goal of M2 is more about refinement rather than new groundbreaking power or efficiency.

But considering how far Apple has now scaled the M1 to the point where it fused 2 chips to create the Almighty M1 Ultra on the Mac studio, there will be intriguing to see how far Apple can take the M2 design. The M2 chip currently gets up to 24 GB of unified memory, which is a very more powerful package compared to the 16GB of unified memory you get with the M1 chip. It also has double the memory bandwidth [1000GB/s- notice how it’s “GB”, not “Gb”] this new chip also offers 8 cores, 4 high performance, and 4 High-efficiency chips.

Apple says that the efficiency cores are long, war improved and you will be able to expect an 18% increase in multi-thread performance over the M1. The M2 chip will also be equipped with ten GPU cores, which dramatically will increase the performance by 35% compared to the M1 chip. Video editors will be the most benefited from this new chip, as the M2 includes support for progress and coding and decoding, along with 6K external displays. The new chip also has a better neural engine, which will help things with AI.

This new chip just arrived first in the redesigned MacBook Air adds a bigger screen and loses the wedge shape, which was very iconic. But now we get more performance, more cooling, and better a package, so we do not care at all.
