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.
The M2 is made with TSMC's "enhanced 5-nanometer technology" N5P process and contains 20 billion transistors, a 25% increase from the previous generation M1. The M2 can be configured with up to 24 gigabytes of RAM and 2 terabytes of storage. It has 8 CPU cores (4 performance and 4 efficiency) and up to 10 GPU cores.
The price increase over the M1 model was noted, with most concluding that the M1 model was a better value. Due to a lack of active cooling, the M2 can overheat on high workloads, leading to thermal throttling issues. [26] In the 256 GB model of the M2 MacBook Air, there was only one NAND chip present.
The Apple M2 chip isn’t officially confirmed, but there’s a lot of rumor and speculation surrounding it. Here’s what we think we know so far.
Apple used a super-wide processor design paired with fast memory and cache to create a speedy, efficient processor for its new Macbook Pro.

The original M1 chip was introduced in November 2020, and was followed by the professional-focused M1 Pro and M1 Max chips in October 2021. The M1 Max is a higher-powered version of the M1 Pro, with more GPU cores and memory bandwidth , a larger die size , and a large used interconnect.
The M2 Pro and M2 Max have a 19-core and 38-core GPU, and a 256-bit and 512-bit LPDDR5 memory bus supporting 200 and 400 GB/s bandwidth respectively. Both chips were first introduced in the MacBook Pro in January 2023. [23] The M2 Ultra is a processor combining two M2 Max dies in one package. It is available in the highest-end variants of the ...
