Apple’s Advanced M2 Pro Chip to Be Mass-produced in 2022
Experts suggest that the breakthrough M2 Pro Chip will go into mass production in 2022, and will reportedly use the TSMC 3nm process. The chip was used in its 2022 MacBook Air and the 2022 13” MacBook Pro, revealed just recently. M2-based 14” and 16” MacBook Pros are currently in development.
The more powerful version of the M2 Pro will be built on the 3nm process, rather than the Apple Silicon M2, which, like the M1, was built on the 5 nm process.
The new M2 was revealed at WWDC 2022, featuring 20 billion transistors and a 10-core GPU., boasting an improvement of 35% for GPU performance and 18% CPU performance than its predecessors. Its speed exceeds that of its 10-core classmates by 1.9 and 2.3 times for CPU and GPU, respectively. It also features a new Secure Enclave, and media and neural engines.
There may be an even more powerful chip in the works, tentatively named M2 Max: 12 CPU cores and 38 graphics cores, with support of 64 GB of RAM.
