![]() M2 Pro: Next-Generation Performance for Pro Workflowsīuilt using a second-generation 5-nanometer process technology, M2 Pro consists of 40 billion transistors - nearly 20 percent more than M1 Pro, and double the amount in M2. “With an even more powerful CPU and GPU, support for a larger unified memory system, and an advanced media engine, M2 Pro and M2 Max represent astonishing advancements in Apple silicon.” They deliver incredible pro performance along with industry-leading power efficiency,” said Johny Srouji, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Technologies. ![]() “Only Apple is building SoCs like M2 Pro and M2 Max. M2 Pro brings pro performance to Mac mini for the first time, while M2 Pro and M2 Max take the game-changing performance and capabilities of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro even further. Both chips also feature enhanced custom technologies, including a faster 16-core Neural Engine and Apple’s powerful media engine. Its industry-leading performance per watt makes it the world’s most powerful and power-efficient chip for a pro laptop. M2 Pro scales up the architecture of M2 to deliver an up to 12-core CPU and up to 19-core GPU, together with up to 32GB of fast unified memory. M2 Max builds on the capabilities of M2 Pro, including an up to 38-core GPU, double the unified memory bandwidth, and up to 96GB of unified memory. Supercharging MacBook Pro and Mac mini, M2 Pro and M2 Max feature a more powerful CPU and GPU, up to 96GB of unified memory, and industry-leading power efficiencyĬUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple today announced M2 Pro and M2 Max, two next-generation SoCs (systems on a chip) that take the breakthrough power-efficient performance of Apple silicon to new heights. Steve-the-Infallible and trying to use same for production work is just not prudent.įWIW, today, March 10, 2021, Apple did release an ARM-native version of Photoshop for MacOS.Apple unveils M2 Pro and M2 Max: next-generation chips for next-level workflows On the other hand, based on the 38 year history of the Macintosh and the continual dramatic, incompatible hardware and software changes made by Apple over that time, it should be apparent that being “the first on the block” to acquire the latest shiny new toy from the Cathedral of St. We have no incentive to do such foolishness. Oh, and by the way it was accompanied by a major new incompatible OS release.Ĭontrary to the religious beliefs of some of the fanboys, no application developer is sitting on their tuchas and holding back on developing ARM-chip native versions of their applications. Here’s a quote from Dov Isaacs, Principal Scientist, AdobeĪpple released new, incompatible hardware (not just the CPU, by the way), totally new program development tools, a problematic Intel instruction emulator, and very few prototype systems for application developers to work with prior to releasing all of this. ![]() The worst thing I see about all this is that people are blaming Adobe for not being ready? Considering all the printing houses/designers I know pray to the alter of Apple and rely on them heavily (and I’m talking worldwide) - how did Apple think this was a good idea without consulting major software firms before hand? Bringing out a laptop that only their own software ran natively on - and other software had to be emulated.
