M1 is the fastest Apple CPU YET.
I suspect in the fall they will release the M2 for MacBook Pro 15 inches.
They have also delayed releasing the MacBook Pro 15inches with Intel on purpose in my opinion.
When they will release the MacBook Pro 15 inches with M2 they will compare it with the Intel version with a 3 years old processor.
I don't trust the Apple benchmarks much.
They are choosing what to compare and what metrics.
Let's wait 3 years when the dust has settled and we'll be able to compare apples with apples.
Let's see also if Apple will be able to keep up the improvement of in-house built CPU+GPU with ALL COMPETING MANUFACTURERS OF CPU&GPU.
What if Nvidia or AMD or Intel comes out with a huge leap, Apple then won't be able to take advantage of that.
In my opinion the M1 is the new PowerPC.
In 10-20 years from now Apple will have slow in-house built hardware and we'll be getting back off the shelf hardware like when Steve Jobs moved from PowerPC to Intel.
- theshrike79 6y ago> M2 for MacBook Pro 15 inches 16" will be the size, like in the current gen. External form factor about the same size as the old 15", but smaller bezels. If they come up with a 16" M2 with 16GB+ of RAM they'll be out of stock for MONTHS, everyone I know will be upgrading from their pre-touchbar Macbooks.
- giorgioz 6y agoyes I found myself exactly in that situation. Got a MacBook Pro 15'' mid-2015 which was falling apart. I did not trust Apple with the whole M2 and abandoning support for Windows Bootcamp. I made myself an hackintosh. Paid pretty much like an iMac but with everything maxed out. Still missing the GPU because of the crypto shortage but that's all another story.
