Apple's M2 chip core number or twice the A15 estimated running score is too fierce!

With the advancement of Apple's Apple Silicon plan, the M series of self-developed chips have been applied in many products such as the MacBook Air, and the excellent performance also makes us look forward to the performance of the next generation of chips, that is, the M2 series chips.

According to an Apple Silicon intergenerational performance transition report issued by MacWorld, the improvement from M1 to M2 chips will be similar to that from Apple's A14 Bionic to A15 Bionic, and the number of high-performance cores of the next generation M chip may double compared with A15, and the number of GPU cores will also double.

"Based on the A14 architecture, M1 expanded the number of high-performance CPU cores (from 2 to 4) and GPU cores (from 4 to 8)," the report reads. So we will try to predict the functionality and performance of M2 based on this assumption, and it is likely to follow a similar pattern, adding the number of high-performance cores and GPU cores to the A15."

Although such a statement is speculation, it also has a certain degree of credibility. Based on this assumption, the M2 series of chips will bring huge performance gains, and even the multi-core running score of "M2 Max" in Geekbench 5 can reach 14632, which is already comparable to the Core i7-12700K (14992) in Intel's 12th generation desktop Core processor.

The report even estimates the graphics performance data of the M2 series chips, and in 3DMark's estimated performance score, M2 is as high as 34% higher than M1, and M2 Max's estimated score is as much as 30% higher than M1 Max.

The report also pointed out that these data are only predictions based on the increase in the number of CPU and GPU cores, and have not yet taken into account the performance gains brought about by the improved manufacturing process, because these data are only rough predictions.

According to earlier news, Apple may announce the M2 series of chips and the new MacBook Pro equipped with the series of chips at the spring new product conference held in March, which is half a year earlier than the autumn generally predicted by the industry.
