Looking beyond its internal composition, the exterior of this new Pro M2 is just as notable. All in all, the chip can handle nearly 16 trillion operations/second. The M2 also boasts 8 GB, 16 GB and 24 GB memory configurations. The CPU and GPU also share an 8 MB system cache. Specifically, a 128 KB L1 and a 16 MB L2 within its four high-performance cores and a 64 KB L1 and a 4 MB L2 within its four energy-efficient cores.

Similar to Apple’s A15 Bionic SoC - used in the iPhone 13 and all its different variations - the M2 chips have a huge cache. Switching to performance, the Pro M2 is no less impressive.

That’s a 25% increase over the M1’s number of transistors. It’s manufactured in line with TSMC’s N5P process, containing a whopping 20 billion transistors. Apple claims that the M2 improves upon the M1’s CPU by as much as 18% and the M1’s GPU by as much as 35%. The Apple M2 chip itself is an ARM-based system on a chip (SoC) that functions as a CPU (or central processing unit) and a GPU (or graphics processing unit). $1,249.00 Buy on Amazon MacBook Pro M2 Overview
