More transistors
• : Thanks to the use of second-generation 5nm process technology, ‌M2‌ Pro has 40 billion transistors, 20% more than ‌M1 Pro‌. For the ‌‌M2‌‌ Max, the jump is even bigger—its 67 billion transistors are 10 billion more than the number used in the ‌‌M1 Max‌‌.
Highest unified memory yet for MacBook Pro
• : 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros with high-end ‌‌M2‌‌ Max processors now support up to 96GB of unified memory. The 96GB memory option costs an extra $800, while the higher-end ‌M2‌ Max chip costs an extra $200.
Connect More Displays
• : 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro and Mac mini models with ‌M2‌ Pro support up to two external monitors. The ‌M2‌ Pro supports two 6K displays over Thunderbolt, or one 60Hz 6K display over Thunderbolt and one 144Hz 4K display over HDMI. MacBook Pro models with ‌M2‌ Max support up to four displays: three displays at 6K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt and another 4K display at 144Hz over HDMI. The ‌M2‌ Max also supports two 6K displays at 60Hz via Thunderbolt, one 8K display at 60Hz or a 4K display at 240Hz via HDMI.
The new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros are available in ‌M2‌ Pro and ‌M2‌ Max, while the newer ‌Mac mini‌ is available in ‌M2‌ or ‌M2‌ Pro. The new MacBook Pro and Mac mini are both available for pre-order on Apple's website and will begin shipping to customers on Tuesday, January 24.
