Apple's m2 chip has reached the level of a 12th-generation Intel processor.
Macbooks, MacMinis and other laptops will be equipped with M2 chips. So it won't be as expensive, and of course it won't be as powerful as the m1ultra. But the m2 will certainly be better than the m1 chip, which performs as well as the ten generations of intel10 processors. So the m2 chip is probably equivalent to 12 generations. Intel processors may even reach the level of the 13th generation of Intel.
The m2 chip is equivalent to Intel's Core 12 generation i7 chip.
According to the official data, in the latest MacBook Air notebook, m2 image editing performance is 5 times faster than the 8 generation i5, video editing performance is 15 times faster than the 8 generation i5.
With a 20-core cpu and a 64-core gpu, it outperforms all current intel and amd processors.
