Apple officially announced the new generation of its processor, Apple M2 during the keynote speech at its developer conference WWDC22It is the processor that joins the family of Apple Silicon processors, which includes the M1 generation and the more powerful versions of it, the M1 Pro and M1 Max, and Apple promises that its new Apple M2 Apple M2 processor provides up to 18% faster performance compared to the first generation M1, and is also available It has a built-in deca-core graphics processor, which it says provides better performance in video editing, photo editing and running more than 10,000 applications.
Apple said that its new Apple M2 processor is designed with a new generation of 5nm manufacturing technology, with more than 20 billion transistors in the chip. SOCwhich is 25 percent more compared to the first generation M1, which it says provides improvements to all the features of the chip or processor, including support for RAM with a bandwidth of 100 Gbit/s, which is 50 percent more compared to the M1 With RAM support up to 24 GB.
The performance of the Apple M2 processor
The new Apple M2 processor provides 18% faster performance, while improving power consumption when performing heavy-duty tasks such as creating a seasonal with multiple layers of effects or applying complex filters to images, and Apple claims that the new M2 processor can provide 90% of the performance of the most powerful processor. A 12-core competitor, but with only a quarter of the power consumed.
As for the integrated graphics processor in the new Apple M2 Apple M2, Apple said that the processor, which is now available with 8 or 10 cores, which it says provides 25% faster performance in graphics processing and up to 35% faster at maximum power consumption, she says Apple said that the graphics processor provides 2.3 times faster performance compared to competing processors that have a graphics processing unit built in at the same power consumption level, and matches peak performance using one-fifth of the power, which improves power consumption and gives the user longer hours in using devices equipped with the new processor.
Apple has provided a MacBook Air equipped with the new processor M2
The Apple M2 Apple M2 processor comes with a more advanced processor for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, Neural Engine, which can process up to 15.8 trillion operations per second, or more than 40 percent of the M1, and the processor supports 8K video streaming in H-format. .264 andHEVCThis is in addition to streaming 4K and 8K video together, along with improvements to the ISP image signal processor that better reduce noise in images.
