As we expected, the Cupertians quietly and without a presentation updated several lines of apple computers.

With the regular cars of the day, new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models and updated versions of the Mac mini were released.

Now let’s look at all the subtleties and differences between the new professional laptops and the new generation of 2021 release.

Processor and stuffing

AT new macbook proas expected, the main innovation was the new generation of processors M2 Pro and M2 Max.. These are the first devices to form second-generation versions of Apple’s chips.

Currently, these modifications Macbook Pro 14″:

M2 Pro 10 cores (6 industrial, 4 energy efficient), 16 GPU cores, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB Solid State Drive.
M2 Pro 12 cores (8/4) 19 GPU cores, 16 GB RAM, 1TB SSD.
M2 Max. 12 cores (8/4) 30 GPU cores, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD.

In addition to this return, there are three models to choose from Macbook Pro 16″:

M2 Pro 12 cores (8/4) 19 GPU cores, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB Solid State Drive.
M2 Pro 12 cores (8/4) 19 GPU cores, 16 GB RAM, 1TB SSD.
M2 Max. 12 cores (8/4) 38 GPU cores, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD.

Of course, in the configurator on the Apple website, you can upgrade any model by changing the processor and preferring the storage.

previous generation Macbook Pro 14″ turned out in the following proportions:

M1 Pro 8 cores (6/2), 14 GPU cores, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB Solid State Drive.
M1 Pro 10 cores (8/2), 16 GPU cores, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB Solid State Drive.
M1 Max. 10 cores (8/2), 24-core GPU, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD.

And modifications Macbook Pro 16″:

M1 Pro 10 cores (8/2), 16 GPU cores, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB Solid State Drive.
M1 Pro 10 cores (8/2), 24-core GPU, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD.

Probably the filling is more powerful: As it turned out, Apple’s second-generation processors received more cores in the base version and an improved GPU system.

The minimum amount of accumulation and RAM has not changed. When choosing a custom laptop, as before, you can increase the drive up to 8 TBbut the maximum possible amount of RAM has increased from 64 GB for models with chips M1 Pro/Max before 96 GB for chips M2 Pro/Max.

The bandwidth of the chip and the speed of operation with memory merging did not change.

In addition to these new chips, it was possible to link two engines for encoding ProRes video instead of one for a generation of processors.

For processors M2 Pro performance gain 20-30% in development with a boosted model. And here is the power increase required by the Cupertinites M2 Max. count from 30% and above.

Real data about the increase in the power of new laptops appears after they are discovered in sales and tests on working projects.

Other differences

● Port HDMI in new laptops support for multi-channel audio. Models of representatives of the generation do not have such a chip.

● When displaying an image at the resolution of an external monitor 8K up to 60Hzhorizontal laptops could display a picture in 6K at 60Hz.

● Bleed the wireless module. now this WiFi 6E (802.11ax) instead of WiFi 6 on old laptops.

● Updated module Bluetooth 5.3 (instead of bluetooth 5.0 at the defenders).

● Increased number of energy efficient connections increase battery life. New laptops for 1 hour last in anticipation of the exploitation scenario.

They promise that the 16-inch model can be listened to on a single charge when watching video over the network about 22 hours.

There are no other differences between the generations of 14-inch and 16-inch laptops.

💻 US model prices added together from $1999 for the base 13″ model and from $2499 for a 16-inch “firmware”. You can order the model in some countries today, and the next delivery times are January 24. I think that laptops will appear in Russia around the same time (although not officially at all).

On the one hand, Apple got a fairly minor update, but with the transition to new, more powerful processors, it has long been suggested. Along with this, the wireless modules were slightly updated, they lost the image and sound output to external sources.
