Faster M6 MacBook Pro
The updated 14-inch MacBook Pro features Apple’s M6 chipset with a 12-core CPU and a 12-core GPU.
The CPU uses a combination of two high-performance cores, four additional performance cores, and six efficiency cores.
The GPU includes Neural Accelerators in every core and supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing for graphics-intensive tasks.
Apple has also included a Dual 16-core Neural Engine to improve AI processing.
According to the company, the new MacBook Pro delivers up to 30% faster graphics performance and 25% better AI performance than the previous M5 model.
The laptop comes with 16GB of unified memory as standard, with options to upgrade to 24GB or 32GB.
However, the base 16GB configuration offers memory bandwidth of 153GB/s, while the 24GB and 32GB versions support up to 170GB/s.
