Apple
In a surprisingly understated announcement, Apple finally debuted the M2 Pro and M2 Max chipsets. They launch with a new set of 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros. Plus, Apple revealed the new M2 Mac mini, which starts at just $599, a lower price than its predecessor.
As expected, these are the most powerful Apple Silicon chipsets to date. The M2 Pro features 40 billion transistors and delivers some notable improvements, including 30% greater graphics performance and a 40% faster Neural Engine than its predecessor. It also unlocks HDMI 2.1 for 4K 240Hz or 8K 60Hz display output. (To be clear, I’m not sure how Apple’s getting 4K 240Hz from this HDMI standard. Some form of compression may be involved.)
The M2 Max features a whopping 67 billion transistors. It offers 20% faster performance than M1 Max, an improvement that’s most noticeable when rendering video or 3D models.
