Teardown of the 14″ MacBook Pro M2 with Apple’s Help
> After 2021's mind-blowing release of Apple M1 Silicon [sic], we're left a little bit underwhelmed with this year's nominal performance bump in the M2 Pro and M2 Macs chipsets.<p>From time immemorial, Apple's new releases have only ever had <i>incremental performance gains</i> from the previous release of whatever model. It has always been this way, and it is true of the M1 and of the M2. What is mind-blowing about M1 is its efficiency, and that Apple switched platforms seamlessly while still incrementally increasing CPU performance. I don't understand why anyone expects things to change and to see a massive increase in performance at every model refresh <i>when that has never ever happened.</i> Yet at every new Apple release, there's always this disappointment from pundits and people <i>who should know better</i> that the new machine isn't exponentially more performant than the last model. What is causing this?!
