The M2 Pro and M2 Max chips are the latest innovations from Apple, following the release of the M2 chip a few months prior, ushering in the second generation of M processors. According to Apple, these chips offer significant enhancements over the previous iteration, while still utilizing a 5nm technology process.
The M2 Pro is equipped with 40 billion transistors, which is 20% greater than the M1 Pro and double the number of transistors in the M2. It boasts 200GB/s of unified memory bandwidth, which is twice that of M2 and supports up to 32GB of low-latency unified memory. The next-generation 10 or 12-core CPU is capable of up to eight high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores, resulting in multithreaded CPU performance that is 20% faster than the 10-core CPU in M1 Pro.
