The M2 Max SoC features the same next-generation 12-core CPU as M2 Pro. All are intended to ensure that huge files open instantaneously and that working across multiple pro apps is incredibly quick and fluid.

The M2 Max has 400GB/s of unified memory bandwidth, which is twice that of the M2 Pro, 4x that of the M2, and supports up to 96GB of fast unified memory. With 67 billion transistors, 10 billion more than the M1 Max and more than three times that of the M2, the M2 Max has been designed to push the performance and capabilities of Apple silicon even further.ĭouble The Memory Bandwidth Of The M2 Pro

The M2 Max then builds on the capabilities of the M2 Pro, including an up to 38-core GPU, double the unified memory bandwidth, and up to 96GB of unified memory. Apple claims that the speeds of the graphics in the M2 Pro are up to 30% faster than that of the M1 Pro, resulting in increases in image processing performance and enabling console-quality gaming. The GPU in M2 Pro can be configured with up to 19 cores, three more than the GPU in M1 Pro, and includes a larger L2 cache. Apple claims that apps like Adobe Photoshop run 40% faster than an M1 pro and 80% faster than the fastest Intel-powered MacBook Pro faster, and is able to compile in Xcode up to 2.5x faster than on the fastest Intel-based MacBook Pro. The next-generation 10- or 12-core CPU consists of up to eight high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores, resulting in multithreaded CPU performance that Apple claims is up to 20% faster than the 10-core CPU in M1 Pro.

The M2 Pro features 200GB/s of unified memory bandwidth, twice that of M2, and up to 32GB of low-latency unified memory. Built using a second-generation 5-nanometer process technology, the M2 Pro System on a Chip consists of 40 billion transistors - nearly 20% more than in the M1 Pro and twice the number used in the M2 chip. The M2 Pro chip scales up the architecture of M2, providing options that max out with a 12-core CPU and 19-core GPU, together with up to 32GB of fast unified memory.
