The energy-efficient cores have a 128KB L1 instruction cache, 64KB L1 data cache, and a shared 4MB L2 cache. This is right in line with Apple's claim that the M2 chip is up to 18 percent faster than the M1.īoth chips have high-performance cores with 192KB of L1 instruction cache and 128KB of L1 data cache. The M2 earned a multi-core score of 8,928, up about 20 percent from the 7,419 score of the M1 model. In early Geekbench benchmarks, the M2, which runs at 3.49GHz compared to 3.2GHz for the M1, earned a single-core score of 1,919, which is roughly 12 percent faster than the 1,707 single-core score of the M1 13-inch MacBook Pro. According to Apple, this results in 18 percent greater multithreaded performance than M1. The M1 and M2 both have four high-performance and four energy-efficient cores, but while the M1 features "Firestorm" and "Icestorm" cores from the A14 Bionic chip, the M2 offers "Avalanche" and "Blizzard" from the A15 Bionic chip. The enhanced 5nm fabrication process is at the heart of many of M2's performance and efficiency improvements. The M2 adds four billion additional transistors for a total of 20 billion – 25 percent more than M1. On the other hand, the M2 uses TSMC's second-generation 5nm process like the A15 Bionic chip.
Like the A14 Bionic, the M1 chip is built using TSMC's first-generation 5nm fabrication process. Read on to learn more about the differences between the two chips.

The M2 chip debuts in the 13-inch MacBook Pro and the redesigned MacBook Air, so the extent to which the M2 is better than its predecessor could be an important consideration when purchasing a new Mac. There are also other significant enhancements such as more memory bandwidth and support for up to 24GB of unified memory.Īs the second major iteration of Apple silicon, it may not be clear how significant of an improvement the M2 is over the M1, especially as it sticks with a 5nm fabrication process, contrary to some rumors that suggested a bigger performance and efficiency leap would be in store.

After the M1 chip revolutionized the Mac starting in November 2020, how much better really is the M2?Īpple says that the M2 chip takes the performance per watt of the M1 even further with an 18 percent faster CPU, a 35 percent more powerful GPU, and a 40 percent faster Neural Engine. This month, Apple introduced the M2 chip – the second-generation custom silicon chip for the Mac.
