January 17, 2023 PRESS RELEASE Apple unveils M2 Pro and M2 Max: next-generation chips for next-level workflows Supercharging MacBook Pro and Mac mini, M2 Pro and M2 Max feature a more powerful CPU and GPU, up to 96GB of unified memory, and industry-leading power efficiency CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple today announced M2 Pro and M2 Max, two next-generation SoCs (systems on a chip) that take the breakthrough power-efficient performance of Apple silicon to new heights. M2 Pro scales up the architecture of M2 to deliver an up to 12-core CPU and up to 19-core GPU, together with up to 32GB of fast unified memory. M2 Max builds on the capabilities of M2 Pro, including an up to 38-core GPU, double the unified memory bandwidth, and up to 96GB of unified memory. Its industry-leading performance per watt makes it the world’s most powerful and power-efficient chip for a pro laptop. Both chips also feature enhanced custom technologies, including a faster 16-core Neural Engine and Apple’s powerful media engine. M2 Pro brings pro performance to Mac mini for the first time, while M2 Pro and M2 Max take the game-changing performance and capabilities of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro even further. “Only Apple is building SoCs like M2 Pro and M2 Max. They deliver incredible pro performance along with industry-leading power efficiency,” said Johny Srouji, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Technologies. “With an even more powerful CPU and GPU, support for a larger unified memory system, and an advanced media engine, M2 Pro and M2 Max represent astonishing advancements in Apple silicon.” M2 Pro: Next-Generation Performance for Pro Workflows Built using a second-generation 5-nanometer process technology, M2 Pro consists of 40 billion transistors — nearly 20 percent more than M1 Pro, and double the amount in M2. It features 200GB/s of unified memory bandwidth — twice that of M2 — and up to 32GB of low-latency unified memory. The next-generation 10- or 12-core CPU consists of up to eight high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores, resulting in multithreaded CPU performance that is up to 20 percent faster than the 10-core CPU in M1 Pro. Apps like Adobe Photoshop run heavy workloads faster than ever, and compiling in Xcode is up to 2.5x faster than on the fastest Intel-based MacBook Pro.1 The GPU in M2 Pro can be configured with up to 19 cores — three more than the GPU in M1 Pro — and includes a larger L2 cache. Graphics speeds are up to 30 percent faster than that of M1 Pro, resulting in huge increases in image processing performance and enabling console-quality gaming. M2 Max: The World’s Most Powerful and Efficient Chip for a Pro Laptop With 67 billion transistors — 10 billion more than M1 Max and more than 3x that of M2 — M2 Max pushes the performance and capabilities of Apple silicon even further. Its 400GB/s of unified memory bandwidth is twice that of M2 Pro, 4x that of M2, and supports up to 96GB of fast unified memory. So massive files open instantaneously, and working across multiple pro apps is incredibly quick and fluid. M2 Max features the same next-generation 12-core CPU as M2 Pro. The GPU is even more powerful with up to 38 cores, and is paired with a larger L2 cache. Graphics speeds climb up to 30 percent faster than M1 Max. Along with 96GB of memory, the new MacBook Pro with M2 Max can tackle graphics-intensive projects that competing systems can’t even run.2 From powering visual effects, to training machine learning models, to stitching together gigapixel images, MacBook Pro with M2 Max brings incredible performance whether plugged in or running on battery power. M2 Max is the world’s most powerful and efficient chip for a pro laptop. Extending Capabilities with Custom Technologies M2 Pro and M2 Max feature updated custom technologies: Both M2 Pro and M2 Max include Apple’s next-generation, 16-core Neural Engine, capable of 15.8 trillion operations per second, and up to 40 percent faster than the previous generation. M2 Pro has an immensely powerful and efficient media engine, including hardware-accelerated H.264, HEVC, and ProRes video encode and decode, allowing playback of multiple streams of 4K and 8K ProRes video while using very little power. M2 Max features two video encode engines and two ProRes engines, bringing up to 2x faster video encoding than M2 Pro. Apple’s latest image signal processor delivers better noise reduction and, along with the Neural Engine, uses computational video to enhance camera image quality.

0:00Answering the big M1 Apple Silicon Mac Questions 1:00 Big Sur - Out this Thursday, or, Tomorrow as normal people would say. November 12th. 1:15 Grady Boger - you sir get a shout out for I think being the first in our comments to say M1 would be the name of Apple’s own Silicon in Macs - Congrats! 1:34 Is M1 the A14X benchmark we saw? The Big Questions 2:47 Which M1 Powered Apple Silicon Mac should you buy? 6:06 Will M1 Overheat in the MacBook Air? 3x performance per watt. 7:02 Should you wait for the 14” MacBook Pro? 8:03 Should you buy an Intel MacBook Pro 16”? 8:56 What did we get right - I think we were the first to say Mac mini would be a great place for Apple Silicon to make the Mac more accessible, and though it didn’t make it down to $499, it did get a price cut to 699. 9:11 Look how much SPACE is inside the not SPACE grey Mac mini. They could miniaturise it by taking out the fan and calling it an SE. No problems. Still think that will be a thing. iCaveAnswers 10:31 Ayushman Sharma #iCaveAnswers How does new macs with M1 effect for developers who uses java?? Up to which res can we watch video on mac (1080p or 2k or 4k)?? 11:47 Granderojo in Discord asks: Does the $699 price point entice you to purchase a mini? 12:24 Roddy Lau in Discord asks: Can you find out why Apple Silicon M1 has many more cores than intel? Also what is the Neural Engine for? 14:04 Notification Squad Bruce C Abhishek Sharan New Socials https://twitter.com/iCave_David https://www.facebook.com/iCaveDavid https://discord.gg/cBY3vZGv https://www.instagram.com/icave_davides/ Amazon Associate Links - need something?
