Apple Vice President of Platform Architecture and Hardware Technology Tim Millett and Apple Vice President of External Marketing Bob Borchers spoke about the development of the M2 chips and the company’s expected plans.
Millett has been building processors for 30 years and has been with Apple for 17 years. According to him, Apple only discovered the opportunity to “really hit” with the introduction of the M1. When designing the M2 processors, the company didn’t want to limit performance improvements.
At present, the M2 family is indeed maintaining a seeming closeness, once again pushing the limits of technology. We don’t leave anything on the table. We don’t take a 20 percent gain and figure out how to spread it out over three years, we don’t figure out how to squeeze extra value out of it. We do it all in one year.

According to Millett, it was beneficial to share with Intel.
Intel has been the only partner throughout the years we have sold machines with Intel. They were very responsive, they were really inspired by the direction that Apple was moving. And I think that our products are only positive from this interaction. Of course, sometimes the products of our members also benefit from this win.

Borchers stated that with each new processor, Apple releases new APIs and extends Metal’s capabilities to eliminate “high-profile opportunities” for game developers.
This story began many years ago when we discovered this transition for ourselves. [с Intel на Apple Silicon]. Gamers are a serious group. And I don’t think we’re going to bash anyone by saying overnight we’re bundling the Mac with a great gaming platform. We anticipate this in the long term.

Millett also added that the developers have not yet adapted to the M-series chips and do not have all the features, because they use all their power. [TechCrunch]
