Apple has a new M6 MacBook Pro launching this fall with a 14-inch screen and the current industrial design. Now that the M6 chip has officially been unveiled, here are three upgrades to expect from the new MacBook Pro.
#1: Dual 16-core Neural Engine
If AI is in any way significant to your workflows—and with macOS 27, it will be for even more users—then the M6 MacBook Pro could be a big upgrade.
That’s because the M6 chip includes a Dual 16-core Neural Engine, up from the standard 16-core version available in M5 and prior. Per Apple:
M6 also introduces a Dual 16-core Neural Engine, providing up to 2x the peak compute over previous generations to make on-device AI workflows run even faster. System frameworks can automatically utilize both engines simultaneously, enabling applications to see faster model execution.
