At Apple's spring conference a few days ago, after the release of the M1 Ultra chip with twice the performance of the M1 Max, it triggered everyone's expectations for the M2 series of Apple's self-developed chips. Recently, it was reported that the M2 series chips or appeared at the WWDC conference in June this year, and the performance should only be an iteration of Apple's M1 product with 8-core CPU + 8-core GPU.
It is reported that according to the past practice, June is the time of Apple's WWDC conference, and this is the best time for the M2 chip to come out. In terms of products, or limited by the differences with the back such as M2 Pro, M2 Max, so the M2 CPU is still an 8-core architecture, compared with M1 is not much change, GPU is the focus of the upgrade, up to a maximum of 10 cores.
According to the previous GPU introduction of Apple's M1 chip, it uses an 8-core design and uses 2.6 Teraflops floating-point computing power. According to the official M1 chip-based Mac mini products, compared to the Mac mini in the Final Cut Pro application has a 6.6 times faster speed increase.
Therefore, if the M2 chip upgrades the GPU performance, compared with the increase multiple of M1, I believe it is what each fruit powder expects.
For the first wave of models with embedded M2 chips, I believe that everyone is easy to guess. The Mac mini series, which has not been updated for 18 months, is the first to bear the brunt, and it is reported that the MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro will also be the first to upgrade to M2.
