According to the latest report provided by NoteBookCheck obtained the M2 MacBook Pro 13 and conducted a stress test on it. According to reports, the M2 has improved performance over the M1, especially on the GPU side.
But since the M2 still uses the same 5nm process as the M1, its higher frequency and higher specifications bring higher power consumption. In terms of cooling configuration, the M2 MacBook Pro 13 is basically the same as the M1 MacBook Pro 13.
The actual measurement found that the M2 CPU performance release can reach 20W, and the GPU power can reach 13.5W. This cooling solution for the M2 MacBook Pro 13 can handle the full load of the CPU and GPU alone, but if the CPU and GPU are stressed at the same time, the package power of the M2 will rise to about 35W, even if the fan reaches the maximum speed of 7300 rpm.
At this power, the power consumption of the package will be reduced to 28-30W, and the chip temperature will be around 98°C. Equipped with the M2 chip is also the new MacBook Air with Liu Haiping, which uses fanless passive heat dissipation, and it is estimated that it is more difficult to control the fully-loaded M2 chip.
Compared to M1, M2 still has 8 CPU cores, but the GPU has increased by 2 cores, with a maximum of 10 GPU cores. Apple claims that its multi-threading performance is increased by 18%, graphics speed is increased by 35%, and 24GB of memory is supported, and the memory bandwidth is also doubled.
