Illustration of the M2 Pro and M2 Max chipsets
Last January 17, Apple has launched the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro powered by the chipset M2 Pro and M2 Max.
The M2 Pro and M2 Max chipsets are high-end chipsets fabricated with the second generation 5nm process.
M2 Pro and M2 Max are currently Apple’s fastest mobile chipsets that are present in MacBook Pro devices.
Both of these chipsets rely on high-efficiency computing and graphics processing capabilities.

Even though it hasn’t even been launched for a week, benchmark results that focus on the graphics capabilities of the M2 Pro and M2 Max have appeared.
According to MacRumors, the metal benchmark score on Geekbench reveals that the M2 Pro with 19-core GPU and M2 Max with 38-core GPU offer 30% faster graphics performance compared to the M1 Pro and M1 Max.
Unfortunately, the graphics performance of the M2 Pro and M2 Max still cannot beat the M1 Ultra chip which was released for the desktop computer platform, Mac Studio.
The M1 Ultra chip is still around 9% superior compared to the highest variant M2 Max.
However, the OpenCL scores for the M2 Max and M1 Ultra are on par.

The Geekbench benchmark results also reveal that the M2 Pro and M2 Max in the MacBook Pro have single-core and multi-core scores of around 1,900 and 15,000 respectively.
When compared to the M1 Pro and M1 Max, the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips offer a 20% increase in performance, just as Apple claims.
The following is the graphics performance score for the M2 Max and M2 Pro chipsets compared to the flagship M1 chipset.
- M1 Ultra: 94.583
- M2 Max: 86.805
- M1 Max: 64.708
- M2 Pro: 52,691
- M1 Pro: 39.758
Spec M2 Max dan M2 Pro
The Apple M2 Pro CPU is built on the second generation 5nm process technology which consists of 40 billion transistors. This number is an increase of 20 percent compared to the transistors in the M1 Pro and 2x more than the Apple M2.
For the unified memory used, this CPU carries an integrated memory bandwidth of 200GB/s, which means it’s 2x faster than the Apple M2.

The standard M2 Pro spec uses 10 CPU cores which are divided into 6 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores.
Higher specs reach 12 CPU cores, namely 8 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores.
For the GPU section, the M2 Pro uses a 16 Core GPU or 19 Core GPU spec as the highest spec. This number is up to 3x more than the GPU in the M1 Pro released in 2020.
The Apple M2 Max CPU also carries a 12 Core CPU spec (8 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores), like the M2 Pro with the highest specs.
The difference is that on the M2 Max, Apple uses GPU specs starting at 30 cores or the highest at 39 cores. This spec is combined with a larger L2 cache line than the previous generation.
Both the M2 Pro and M2 Max use Apple’s latest 16-core Neural Engine technology. This Neural Engine is capable of performing 15.8 trillion operations per second and is 40 percent faster than the previous generation.
