While the first M2 chip's processing cores are speeding up, the overall number of cores remains the same, at a total of eight. This situation hasn’t changed from the M1 to the M2, but Apple does say that the M2’s performance cores are “faster” and its efficiency cores are “significantly enhanced” enough to claim an 18% boost for multithreaded workloads, which involve things like rendering video or editing photos. The efficiency cores are slower, for less-demanding workflows, while performance cores are there when you need them. That’s partly because cutting-edge processors run different cores at different speeds.Īlso, like before, the chip design is split between high-performance and high-efficiency cores, which are dynamically deployed onto different kinds of workloads. How much faster? We don’t know Apple doesn’t specify detailed clock speeds for its chips, a position that Intel is also taking with its 12th Generation “Alder Lake” CPUs. Second, the new production process apparently enables the M2 to run some of its cores at faster clock speeds than those in the M1.
