CTOnews.com, January 31 (Xinhua)-- Apple recently unveiled a new MacBook Pro model with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, the second iteration since Apple launched a new design in 2021. Kate Bergeron, Apple's vice president of hardware engineering, and Doug Brooks, Mac's product marketing department, are now interviewed by The Stalman Podcast about the design process of M2 Pro and M2 Max chips.

During the half-hour conversation, Tyler Stalman, the tubing anchor, had an in-depth conversation with the two Apple executives about how Apple moved from Intel to its own chip, how to integrate new neural and media engines into the chip, and which products Mac users should choose.

Apple executives say that although M2 Pro and M2 Max still use the 5nm process, they have introduced a lot of interesting improvements.

M2 Pro consists of 40 billion transistors, nearly 20% more than M1 Pro and twice as many as M2. The chip has a unified memory bandwidth of 200GB / s, twice that of M2, and is equipped with a low-latency unified memory with the highest 32GB. The new generation of 10-core or 12-core CPU consists of up to 8 high-performance cores and 4 efficient cores, and multithreaded CPU performance is 20% faster than the 10-core CPU in M1 Pro.

M2 Pro can be configured with up to 19 GPU cores, 3 more GPU than in M1 Pro, and contains a larger L2 cache. Graphics are 30% faster than M1 Pro, resulting in significantly improved image processing performance and console quality games.

M2 Max has 67 billion built-in transistors, 10 billion more than M1 Max and more than three times that of M2. The chip has the unified memory bandwidth of 400GB / s, which is 2 times that of M2 Pro and 4 times that of M2. The highest speed unified memory of 96GB is supported.

M2 Max uses the same next-generation CPU as 12-core M2 Pro. GPU is more powerful, with up to 38 cores and a larger secondary cache. Graphics are 30% faster than M1 Max.
