The wait is over. Apple says the newly <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/82946-apple-unveils-faster-m2-chip-new-macbook-air-and-macos-ventura\/\">redesigned MacBook Air<\/a> and the refreshed MacBook Pro 13 utilizing these state-of-the-art Apple M2 chips are available to order now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is excellent news for users that have MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 13-inch computers with Intel processors. But what about users who have M1-based Apple computers? Just how fast are Apple M2 chips?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-digesting-the-hype\">Digesting the hype<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of hype surrounding the MacBook M2 chip, and it\u2019s understandable. It\u2019s a safe bet to say that the M2 chip specs are impressive, especially regarding speed. Previously, Apple\u2019s M1 chip had its own time in the spotlight when first released. After all, the M1 chip does have some remarkable features\u2014the M1 MacBook Air runs 3.5 times faster than the Intel version, and graphics performance is five times faster. In fact, benchmark tests found that users who have used the Intel MacBook Air and switched to the M1 Mac discovered that creative apps like Adobe Photoshop run about 80% faster.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when we compare the M2 chip vs. M1, some strikingly notable advancements exist. For starters, the M2 chip Apple MacBook Air and M2 13-inch MacBook Pro are much faster and deliver better power-efficient performance. Apple M2 chips are 1.4x faster than the M1 and 15x faster than Intel-based MacBook Air options. They also have more memory, better security, and other great Apple next-generation custom technologies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apple M1 vs. M2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-hero-220606-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82947\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-hero-220606-scaled.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-hero-220606-213x120.jpg 213w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-hero-220606-284x160.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-hero-220606-190x107.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-hero-220606-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-hero-220606-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-hero-220606-750x421.jpg 750w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-hero-220606-548x308.jpg 548w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-hero-220606-364x204.jpg 364w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-hero-220606-230x129.jpg 230w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-hero-220606-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-hero-220606-213x120@2x.jpg 426w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-hero-220606-284x160@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-hero-220606-190x107@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cores of the Apple M2 chip and M1 differ. The M1 is based on Apple\u2019s A14 Bionic processor. In contrast, the CPU of the Apple M2 chip is based on the A15 Bionic processor (fun fact: it\u2019s the same CPU you\u2019ll find in the iPhone 13 series).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>M2\u2019s system-on-a-chip (SoC) design gives it enhanced, second-generation 5-nanometer technology, which delivers increased speed and reduced power consumption. It also features 20 billion transistors, which is 25 percent more than the M1. With these additional transistors, users using a MacBook M2 chip get a computer with 50% more memory bandwidth than the M1. More transistors mean improved features throughout the Apple M2 chip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"787\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-M1-chip-2up-220606-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"The M2 chip next to the previous generation M1.\" class=\"wp-image-82948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-M1-chip-2up-220606-scaled.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-M1-chip-2up-220606-213x120.jpg 213w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-M1-chip-2up-220606-284x160.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-M1-chip-2up-220606-190x107.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-M1-chip-2up-220606-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-M1-chip-2up-220606-750x421.jpg 750w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-M1-chip-2up-220606-548x308.jpg 548w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-M1-chip-2up-220606-364x204.jpg 364w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-M1-chip-2up-220606-230x129.jpg 230w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-M1-chip-2up-220606-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-M1-chip-2up-220606-213x120@2x.jpg 426w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-M1-chip-2up-220606-284x160@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Apple-WWDC22-M2-chip-M1-chip-2up-220606-190x107@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><figcaption>The M2 chip next to the previous generation M1.

Combine that with up to 24GB of configurable fast unified memory, and you can build a Mac that can tackle more extensive and even more complex workloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Better performance and efficiency for gamers and creatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like to create music and add layers of effects? Do you find yourself applying complex filters to photos? Apple M2 chips deliver faster, power-efficient performance. Compared to an M1, an Apple M2 MacBook Pro delivers the goods with 18 percent greater multithreaded performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you compare the M2 with a 10-core PC laptop chip, the M2 provides almost double the performance at the same power level, and it does all this while using a quarter of the energy of a PC-chip laptop. Less noise, less heat, better performance, what\u2019s not to love?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple M2 chips also deliver a massive boost in graphics performance without draining too much power. It features Apple\u2019s next-generation 10-core GPU. With a larger cache and higher memory bandwidth, the 10-core GPU boosts up to 25 percent higher graphics than M1 computers at the same power level. And at max power, M2 delivers up to 35 percent better performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple M2 chip computers deliver higher performance per watt. Users can play graphics-intensive games or edit massive RAW images on an Apple M2 MacBook Pro and enjoy longer battery life and a computer that runs cool and quiet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple M2 chips feature Apple\u2019s next-generation custom technologies, which makes multitasking a breeze.
