first tests MacBook Pro with M2 chip It turned out that with the M1 it has a slower SSD than before. This difference means: 256GB computer has up to 50% slower SSD read speeds and up to 30% slower SSD write speeds compared to the equivalent model of the previous generation.

At the time, several analysts examined the internal components to discover the reason for this discrepancy. But for the casual user, the result is only one: a slow SSD means more time to load apps and transfer files. However, it is declared in this regard that this computer does not encourage the update and that these results are given.

Apple keeps the speed of MacBook Air with M2 chip

New MacBook Air M2 expected to be purchased on July 15

Apple said in a statement that benchmarks for the new MacBook Air with 256GB storage and the 13-inch MacBook Pro “may differ” from previous generation models, but real-world performance is “even faster”:

“Thanks to M2 performance gains, the new 13-inch MacBook Air and MacBook Pro are incredibly fast, even when compared to Mac laptops with the powerful M1 chip. These new systems use a new higher-density NAND than that offering 256GB single-chip storage. 256GB SSD benchmarks. Although it differs from the previous generation, the performance of these M2-based systems for real-world events is even faster.”

According to Macrumors, based on several reviewed reviews, some tests of the 13-inch MacBook Pro base model with the M2 chip showed SSD speeds to be slower, even in real use, but overall results are mixed.

For now, the tests come from experts who have already taken the model. For the general public shipments will begin this July 15 and then they will decide to take risks with the input model or accept Apple’s explanations.
