Apple this morning announced new Macbooks powered by the latest generation of its in-house, custom-designed PC chipsets. The chipsets -- the M2 Pro and M2 Max -- feature a more powerful CPU and GPU, up to 96GB of unified memory and what Apple claims is "industry-leading" power efficiency.

Built using a second-generation 5-nanometer process technology, the M2 Pro consists of 40 billion transistors -- nearly 20% more than M1 Pro and double the amount in M2 -- 200GB/s of unified memory bandwidth (twice that of M2) and up to 32GB of low-latency unified memory. The 10- or 12-core CPU has up to eight high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores, resulting in multithreaded CPU performance that's reportedly up to 20% faster than the 10-core CPU in M1 Pro, and can be configured with up to 19 GPU cores -- three more than the M1 Pro -- with a larger L2 cache.
