When Apple released its first M2 MacBook Variants last year , theMacBook Airand the13 - inch MacBook Pro , we were torn . The Air ’s design and feature set made the 13 - inch Pro look ancient , but its want of a rooter put a jacket on its public utility for exponent exploiter . Now theM2 14 - in and 16 - inch MacBook Prosare here to rectify the situation , combine the same New intention as the Air with all the internals needed to run their raw M2 Pro and M2 Max processors .
Apple announce the fresh Pro models via its newsroom and ayoutube videothis morning , alongside anew Mac Minifeaturing choice for the radix M2 and the M2 Pro . It ’s the same strategy the party used for its M1 card , in which the company expect to let go itslarger MacBookswith usage silicon variance .
In central , the M2s had time to power up . The M2 Pro bring with it 10/12 cores ( depending on your configuration ) , 32 GB of unified memory , a GPU with up to 19 cores , and a neural locomotive ( for AI ) that Apple promise is “ 40 pct faster . ” The Max pushes the GPU up to 30/38 cores ( depending on your configuration ) and comes with up to 96 GB of unified computer memory .

By comparison , the M1 Pro top out at a 16 - core GPU and the M1 Max arrive at its jacket crown at a 32 - core GPU . That said , expect the M2 Pro and M2 Max to do more with their core than their precursor . Apple ’s claiming 40 % faster image processing in Photoshop on the M2 Pro and 30 % faster effects render in Cinema 4D on the M2 Max , for example , but stay tune up for the Gizmodo review to see our own benchmark .
New chips away , not much has changed for the raw MacBook Pros . Over the 13 - inch M2 MacBook Pro , you ’ll get more projection screen space and a better webcam , but those improvements were already there on the M1 Pro and M1 Max models . New to this year ’s models is Wi - Fi 6E compatibility and support for 8 K extraneous monitors run for at 60 Hz or 4 grand external monitors go at 240 Hz .
The New Mac Mini with base M2 and M2 Pro is also staying the class on design , though it ’s also seeing a Wi - Fi 6E update .
