It also benefits from a larger cache than the M1 Max GPU and, consequently, offers 30% faster graphics performance. The M2 Max arrives with a 12-core CPU and a GPU that comes in two flavours – a 30-core variant, and a hold-onto-your-trousers 38-core edition. Photoshop users will be happy to hear that there’s a significant boost in image processing for that app – by up to 40%, according to Apple. We’re told that the M2 Pro is 80% faster at animation rendering than the M1 Pro, and 25% faster at compiling in Xcode. Or perhaps Apple just couldn’t be bothered to add to the spec choices. There’s no 24GB option like you get with the standard M2 chip, which some might find odd, but I assume there’s a technical reason for that. The M2 Pro comes with either 16GB or 32GB of unified memory (the same as the M1 Pro).
It comes in 10- and 12-core variants and the GPU now goes up to 19-cores (it’s reportedly 30% faster than the M1 Pro GPU, too). The arrival of the M2 Pro and M2 Max was inevitable, but today’s announcement does leave a few questions unanswered, which I’ll get to in a moment.Īpple’s Newsroom tells us that the new M2 Pro chip features 20% more transistors than the M1 Pro and is, as a result, 20% faster.
