with Apple M2 In fact, many now wonder how much they will improve in terms of performance compared to the previous generation. Following the official announcement, we now announce that it aims to be a somewhat poor processor-level improvement, but important for graphics.

To be more specific, leaked performance tests show that the Apple M2 would not represent a significant improvement in terms of processor performance, but at the graphics level. According to tests published by BenchLeaks, the Apple M2 it would improve compared to the previous generation by only 10% in the single core and 16% in the multi-core. However, GPU would show performance increase of up to 67%which would be an important development.

BenchLeaks leaked tests were performed with Geek Bench 5, a set that is usually packed when it comes to cryptographic tests, but whose integer and floating – point results give you an idea of ​​what Apple ‘s brand new processor has to offer. Of course, until the MacBook Air M2 2022 and MacBook Pro M2 2022 are released in July, it would be wise to take the data coming to us with a grain of salt.

The Apple M2 includes Avalanche cores for high performance and Blizzard cores for energy efficiency. On both fronts, it outperforms the Firestorm and Icestorm Apple M1 cores, but in the end, the improvement doesn’t seem to be particularly significant. There have been improvements at the level of clock cycles, cache and improved memory system, but all this clearly does not translate into a noticeable improvement at the IPC level. The development of energy efficiency cores seems to be greater than in the previous generation than in high-performance ones.

As we can see, where the Apple M2 will stand out will be in improving graphics performance, and maybe that’s why we’ll see during this year port Resdient Evil Village native to Mac. Although not a very high-tech game at the technical level, it will be interesting to see comparisons with laptops and Windows computers, which are potentially equivalent to Apple machines or at least on paper, because comparing different architectures is sometimes not easy.
