Apple today announced Apple’s next-generation professional silicon that brings even more power-efficient performance and battery life to pro users. M2 Pro and M2 Maxannounced the new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro with . With the M2 Pro and M2 Max, the world’s most powerful and efficient chip for a professional laptop, MacBook Pro tackles demanding tasks like effects processing and color grading, up to 6x faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Pro. Up to 2x faster. Based on the unmatched power efficiency of Apple silicon, MacBook Pro’s battery life is now up to 22 hours; this is the longest battery life on a Mac.
For enhanced connectivity, the new MacBook Pro supports Wi-Fi 6E, which is up to twice as fast as the previous generation, and advanced HDMI that supports 8K displays for the first time. With up to 96GB of onboard memory on the M2 Max, creators can work on scenes that are too big for even laptops to handle. Complementing the unrivaled features of the MacBook Pro are the renowned Liquid Retina XDR display, wide connectivity, 1080p FaceTime HD camera, six-speaker sound system and studio-quality microphones. Combined with macOS Ventura, the MacBook Pro user experience is unrivaled. Customers can order the new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro today, which will be available starting Tuesday, January 24.
Greg Joswiak, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, “The Apple silicon MacBook Pro has changed the game by giving professionals the power to push the boundaries of their workflow on the go and do things they never thought possible on a laptop.” said. “Today the MacBook Pro just got better. With faster performance, improved connectivity and the longest battery life ever in a Mac, along with the best display in a laptop, there’s nothing like it.”
Unrivaled Power and Efficient Performance with M2 Pro and M2 Max
With the MacBook Pro, M2 Pro, and M2 Max, it can transform professional workflows in a variety of disciplines, from art to science to app development. Users looking to upgrade from Intel-based Mac models will experience even more dramatic improvements in performance, battery life, connectivity and overall productivity. MacBook Pro also maintains performance whether users are plugged in or running on battery.
MacBook Pro with M2 Pro includes a 10- or 12-core CPU with up to eight high-performance and four high-efficiency cores for up to 20 percent higher performance than the M1 Pro. With 200GB/s of combined memory bandwidth (twice the amount in M2) and up to 32GB of combined memory, users can tackle large projects and run multiple professional applications at lightning speed. The next-generation GPU with up to 19 cores delivers up to 30 percent more graphics performance, and the Neural Engine is 40 percent faster, accelerating machine learning tasks like video analysis and image processing. The powerful media engine in the M2 Pro also rips through the most popular video codecs, dramatically speeding up video playback and encoding using very little power.
With M2 Pro on MacBook Pro:
- Rendering titles and animations in motion is up to 80 percent faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Pro and up to 20 percent faster than the previous generation.
- Compiling in Xcode is up to 2.5x faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Pro and about 25 percent faster than the previous generation.
- Image processing in Adobe Photoshop is up to 80 percent faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Pro and up to 40 percent faster than the previous generation.
