Apple has finally introduced its new operating system, macOS 13 Ventura, and with it, a number of MacBook Air laptops have also been introduced to the market. Everything seemed to indicate that there would be a WWDC full of software news, but the company took the surprise with this hardware—despite many rumors that it would be a new MacBook.

Apple’s new MacBook Air has many appealing changes for consumers. It has a new design, a small notch on the top bezel and a 13.6-inch display. We’re talking about the best display ever in a MacBook, with technology that makes it 25% brighter than previous generations.

And besides… how could it be… it also contains a very powerful M2 chip! The second generation of the Apple Silicon processor will continue with the M1, M1 Pro, M1 Ultra and M1 Max generations. Here’s everything you need to know about the next-generation M2 chip.

This is Apple’s M2 processor for the MacBook Air

The M2 chip that Apple presented during WWDC has a manufacturing technology. 5 nanometers. That means a chip with 20 billion transistors, 25% more transistors than previous generations of the Apple-designed processor.

Another of the most surprising innovations of the period chip M2 supported by the processor. 24GB LPDDR5 unified memory. On the other hand, it has four cores of performance and four cores of efficiency, which will definitely provide an unmatched experience to Mac users.

Also 100GB/s broadband Up to 50% more onboard memory than the M1 chip found in previous-generation Macs and iPad Pro.

According to Apple, the M2 chip is much faster, much more powerful, much more efficient and higher performance than the M2 processor series. Specifically, we are talking about 18% higher performance It has a 10-core GPU of the same power and with two additional cores, more than the M1 chip.

Summary of what’s new in the M2 chip:

• 5 nanometer process.
• 20 billion transistors.
• 24GB memory support.
• More energy efficiency.
• 10 core GPU.
• 18% higher performance than previous generations.

The M2 chip is available in the new 13.6-inch MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro.
