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.From time immemorial, Apple's new releases have only ever had incremental performance gains 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 when that has never ever happened. Yet at every new Apple release, there's always this disappointment from pundits and people who should know better that the new machine isn't exponentially more performant than the last model. What is causing this?!
