The second-generation Apple Silicon release is now upon us with the unveiling of the Apple M2 processor that took place earlier today. The company didn’t waste any time putting the new chip into action though, as it has also launched two new M2-based MacBook models which include the MacBook Pro 13.
Unlike the MacBook Air M2 which offers features such as a larger (but notched) display and fast charging capability, there are almost no differences between the M2-based MacBook Pro 13 and its M1 predecessor.
Hence, the largest change for the 2022 MacBook Pro 13 is really the M2 itself. For starters, the new chip brings a higher level of performance to the laptop with its faster 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine.
Apple claimed that the MacBook Pro 13 with M2 is 39% faster than its M1 counterpart for image processing and gaming. Not surprisingly, the Intel-based MacBook Pro 13 didn’t stand a chance as the new M2-based model is more than 3x faster than them in both workload types if Apple’s performance claims to be believed.
