News and articles for the Apple M1 Pro (10-CPU 16-GPU)
Apple M2 Pro with more CPU cores and production in 3 nm ?
Posted by Stefan on 2022-06-28
After Apple surprisingly presented the normal Apple M2 processor as the first successor to the Apple M1 already in June 2022, the Apple M2 Pro and the Apple M2 Max may follow in autumn. The difference in performance compared to the basic version could be even greater this time and range from 25 to 40 percent.
In this article we describe how Apple could realize this and why the price should also go up.

Apple M2 vs Apple M1 - What are the differences?
Posted by Stefan on 2022-06-09
During WWDC 2022 on June 6th, 2022 Apple surprisingly presented its new Apple M2 processor. This will initially be installed in a completely revised Apple MacBook Air with 13.6 inches, a even thinner form factor and new colors. Apple also updated the already known (old) Apple MacBook Pro 13.3 with touch bar.
Many leakers had counted on Apple not presenting its new second-generation M processor until the fall. But things turned out differently. And there is very likely a reason for that: the improvements in the Apple M2 are limited compared to the predecessor.
Many leakers had counted on Apple not presenting its new second-generation M processor until the fall. But things turned out differently. And there is very likely a reason for that: the improvements in the Apple M2 are limited compared to the predecessor.
The Apple M1X is the second Apple processor for notebooks and desktop PCs. In contrast to the Apple M1, the manufacturer relies on 10 "Firestorm" cores that provide very fast computing power. The 2 "Icestorm" cores of the Apple M1 are also found in the big brother. The "Icestorm" CPU cores are responsible for the processors high efficiency and mainly take care of background tasks. The efficiency cores support the performance cores during high computing loads.
The Apple M1X has a clock frequency of 3.2 GHz in the base. The processor does not have a turbo mode, but it can reduce its clock frequency significantly internally. Modern AMD or Intel processors, for example, do this.
Like the Apple M1, the Apple M1X is also based on ARM-64 technology, but was designed by Apple itself. It has a very high computing power, which does not have to hide from modern processors from other manufacturers. The processor is manufactured in 5 nm at TSMC and is one of the most efficient processors on the market. Due to its high efficiency, its heat development is also relatively low. Therefore, the processor can keep its computing power stable even in longer load phases. However, this requires an active fan.
Apple also relies on its own creation for the iGPU (internal graphics). The Apple M1X 16 core graphics achieves 5.2 TFLOPS in FP32 calculations (single precision). This makes it slightly faster than an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 ti (4.7 TFLOPS) and slightly slower than an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (6.5 TFLOPS).
The Apple M1X supports up to 64 GB of LPDDR4X memory and PCIe 4.0, and up to 2 external displays can be connected to the system via USB-C or HDMI (plus 1 internal display).
