During Apple's annual Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC), the tech giant announced the long-rumored M2 chip during its keynote.
The M2 chip joins the M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra, with the M1 Ultra being announced just a few months ago during Apple's Peek Performance event in March. While the M1 Pro and M1 Max were announced last Fall.
Apple notes that the M2 chip has an 18 percent performance increase over the M1 chip which was released back in 2020. The M2 chip will use Apple's Arm architecture, the same architecture used in the M1 Ultra. The M2 also features 100Gbps of memory bandwidth and 24GB of uniified memory, offering more bandwidth than the M1 chip.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro (2022) and the MacBook Air (2022) models are confirmed to include the M2 chip, as Apple noted in its keynote. Both laptops will be available next month.
