Apple M2 is a series of ARM-based system on a chip (SoC) designed by Apple Inc., launched 2022 to 2023.It is part of the Apple silicon series, as a central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU) for its Mac desktops and notebooks, the iPad Pro and iPad Air tablets, and the Vision Pro mixed reality headset.
Neural Engine is a series of AI accelerators designed for machine learning by Apple. The first SoC including Neural Engine is Apple A11 Bionic for iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X introduced in 2017. [1] Since then, all Apple A series SoCs have Neural Engine. In 2020, Apple introduced the Apple M1 for Mac [2] and all Apple M series SoCs have ...
The M2 is a system on a chip fabricated by TSMC on an enhanced 5 nm process, containing 20 billion transistors. It has 8 CPU cores (4 performance and 4 efficiency), up to 10 GPU cores, and a 16 core Neural Engine, as well as LPDDR5 memory with a bandwidth of 100 GB/s.
An AI accelerator, deep learning processor or neural processing unit (NPU) is a class of specialized hardware accelerator [1] or computer system [2] [3] designed to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning applications, including artificial neural networks and computer vision.
Apple specifically targeted AI development and workloads, both with the Neural Engine and with the increased maximum memory (128 GiB) of the M3 Max, allowing AI models with high numbers of parameters. Apple claims a 15% performance improvement for AI workloads on the M3 (compared to the previous generation M2). [13]
The Apple A15 Bionic is a 64-bit ARM-based system on a chip (SoC) designed by Apple Inc., part of the Apple silicon series. It is used in the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini , iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max , iPad Mini (6th generation) , iPhone SE (3rd generation) , iPhone 14 and 14 Plus and Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) .
The sixth-generation iPad Pro uses an Apple M2 SoC. It features an eight-core CPU with four performance cores and four efficiency cores, a 10-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. Internal storage options include 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB. [2]
The A16 integrates an Apple-designed five-core GPU, which is reportedly coupled with 50% more memory bandwidth when compared to the A15's GPU. [3] [15]The A16's memory has been upgraded to LPDDR5 for 50% higher bandwidth and a 7% faster 16-core neural engine, capable of 17 trillion operations per second (TOPS).
