Apple M2 Pro (12-CPU 19-GPU)
Benchmarks & Specs

The Apple M2 Pro (12-CPU 19-GPU) is an Apple-designed processor that aims to continue the huge success of the Apple M1. The CPU has 12 processor cores, which are divided into 8 performance cores (codename Avalanche) and 4 efficiency cores (codename Blizzard). The 8 Avalanche cores clock at 3.50 gigahertz and the 4 Blizzard cores at 2.80 gigahertz. Hyperthreading is not supported by the Apple processor.

As the name suggests, the internal graphics unit of the Apple M2 Pro (12 CPU 19 GPU) is equipped with a total of 19 GPU cores. These have a total of 304 execution units and 2432 shader units. The clock frequency of the graphics unit is 1.40 gigahertz and you can use up to 32 gigabytes of RAM integrated in the processor. The iGPU achieves an FP32 processing power of 6,745 TeraFLOPS, with single precision. In terms of performance, it is in the range of an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 or an AMD Radeon RX 580.

The processor can be equipped with a maximum of 32 gigabytes of RAM. The memory is integrated in the processor, which means that the customer has to specify a memory size when selecting the end product. The Apple M2 Pro (12 CPU 19 GPU) has 2 memory channels and achieves a memory bandwidth of up to 204.8 GB/s. Apple does not offer ECC memory.

The Apple M2 Pro (12-CPU 19-GPU) is manufactured with a structure width of 5 nanometers in a chiplet design and has a 36.00 megabyte level 2 cache. The processor is based on a 64-bit ARM architecture and the Rosetta 2 (x86 emulation) is integrated as an ISA extension.

The processor came onto the market in the first quarter of 2023 and was installed in the newly introduced Mac Mini 2023 and in the Apple MacBook Pro 2023 in the 14" and 16" models.
