    4 Avalanche high-performance cores. 4 Blizzard high-efficiency cores. Up to 10 G14 Graphics Cores. 16 5th generation Neural Engine Cores. But, we’re increasingly living in a post-big-core world, and Apple recognized that earlier and better than anyone, so tack on a new image signal processor, or ISP. New Secure Enclave, and expanded video encode and decode blocks, including hardware acceleration for 8K ProRes video. Basically increasing performance while preserving battery life, and kicking off the next generation of Apple silicon Macs!

    Actually, Apple got one thing right: that transistors are NOT getting faster, only cheaper and slightly smaller. Therefore, what matters is efficient architecture (ARM) and specialized silicon (they neglected software part, but... ). M1 was was a bombshell and now Apple is for both technical, marketing and organisational reasons ( people departure from Apple Silicon Team ) had settled for one architecture rest of the decade and will just attack the problem using node size + memory bandwidth.

    Hey Rene! Developer documents and tutorials for Metal 3 mention ray tracing. I haven’t had time to dig in to those yet, but it seems Apple is at least building software accelerated RT into Metal 3. Hopefully opens the door for dedicated RT cores (or a version of the neural engine that can do RT) in the greater M2 chips or M3.

    • @ReneRitchie

    • @christopher3d475
      @christopher3d475 Pƙed 2 lety +6

      @@ReneRitchie Metal has API's for raytracing to happen concurrently on both CPU and GPU, so it's accelerating things for sure, through software, in hardware. Just use Blender 3.1/3.2 and switch to Metal, use both CPU/GPU concurrently and get a hefty improvement in performance. So it's not quite accurate to say Metal is just software raytracing, it's an API much like CUDA that gives developers access to hardware other than the CPU to run their raytracers on. In fact, Intel has done this with the excellent and widely adopted Embree raytracing libraries that take advantage of SIMD processing units within modern CPUs (these have been ported to M1 which has NEON SIMD units). These don't get a lot of attention but have been significant in the 3D arena.
      But yes, I would agree that Apple would be wise to develop specific circuitry for handing raytrace operations, much like NVIDIA has with RTX. But even RT cores need a "software raytracing" API akin to Metal to get them to work.

    You mentioned two Thunderbolt controllers. Comparing the M1, did it also have two TB controllers? Were the two TB ports controlled by one or two TB controllers? One my M1 MBA, I can only connect one TB bus-powered external drive at a time. Does the M2 allow two TB bus-powered external drives to be connected at the same time (I assume nobody know this yet but when you get an M2 MBA, please check this along with R/W issues on external drives.). I am also hoping Apple fixed the poor TB external drive write speed. Some of this depends on the external drive controller but everyone with an M1 MBA knows write speed sucks (basically TB2 speed) while read speed is very nice. I have a 1TB TB drive attached to my MBA's lid to handle the data storage my 512GB internal doesn't handle. My next Mac will definitely be purchased with more internal storage even thought it costs more than external storage. What I'd really love to see is a unified memory port for specialized Apple storage that extends the internal storage with at least 60% of the internal storage speed. This would be faster than any TB3/4 connected storage on the market today.

    Man, I’m really tempted to buy the M2 Air to replace my M1 Air! It seems like it will have nearly all the the things I need and at a fair price, which causing me to reconsider my plans to upgrade to the M1 Pro MacBook Pro.
    The ONLY thing I’m having to hesitate about, pertaining to the M2 Air, is the lack of a ProMotion display, which is a function feature that means a lot to me since my laptop is where I get the entirety of my entertainment from (besides my iPhone). I don’t really need any of the other Pro specs of the M1 Pro MacBook Pro.
    However, the price difference is mighty, and I’m not sure I can justify spending $1500ish more for that amazing display panel and the legacy ports.

  • @utubekullanicisi
    @utubekullanicisi Pƙed 2 lety

    Rene I think people that analyze the die shots of these chips have counted the SLC size to be 8MB, same as the M1 (and 1/2 even the A14's cache). I think Apple doesn't want to blow up the baseline M-series size when even the new media engine, new E-cores, new memory controller, etc. by themselves increase the die size enough. The M2 has many more features it has to pack than the A15, like all of those things that I mentioned and in addition the 10-bit 6K60 capable display pipe, which as some people have pointed out by itself occupies more space than 2 of the P-cores of the M1 Pro.
    I think the M-series will eventually get the big SLC sizes of the A-series though. Apple just needs more transistor budget, which they didn't have much of this time around and already have to increase the die size by 25%.
    Consequently, I wouldn't expect the same efficiency increases that we got with the A15, at least not identical gains, unless the new LPDDR5 memory is that much more efficient (at least the DRAM modules themselves, not the memory controller).

    Happy to see this kind of video regarding Apple's history and strategy for its silicon. Intelligent and clear explanations.
    Otherwise probably some errors: ram or DRAM is the only component of the motherboard that has not been integrated into the die (as you said at the beginning of the video) but nearby, on the same package.
    The SLC cache of the M1 and M2 is the same i.e. 8MB. So I think that talking about the "16 to 32MB SLC improvement" which concerns A14 to the A15 is misleading when you talk about M2 specifications.
    And a last point the M1 does not use LPDDR4 memory but the next generation the real LPDDR4x used.

    Apple actively avoids processors the scaling in their processors that infringes their power to performance ratio. You see intel alder lake has processors that has 15 watt 14 core mobile and 155 watt 16 core desktop. But 2 performance cores don’t do the same performance difference compared to their power. Apple keeps avoiding this, probably the main source of apple’s scalable architecture philosophy that gives both high performance and high efficiency. They always designs their cpu and gpu to be as power efficient and powerful at the same time and rarely changes their power usage and frequency but rather make wider cores and add more powerful but efficient cores.

    I'm wondering if this has a design for 2 sides to join to get 4 M2 Max combined into a single 2x2 chip. I would imagine there is a bit of space for more performance cores when they get to that as well. So then you end up with 48 performance and 8 efficiency... That would be a Mac Pro for sure.

    In my opinion the reason the M2 only supports one external display like the M1 is because of how capable it is. The M2 is relatively speaking affordable. Which means pro’s won’t upgrade from it unless there are dealbreakers. More than one external display is just one of those things. It’s simply to prevent self-cannibalisation. For example many pro’s are happy with the M2 air, which can add more displays if you use an adaptor/dock. Apple just won’t allow it natively because of the relatively speaking slim profit margins on the M2 air.

      @@torb-no I actually concur with you. In so far as they aren’t standard features or needs yet. To be fair they never may be, but what we’ve seen with Apple is that they add features based on their pipeline. Maybe Apple plans on revolutionising 8K. They usually add support for big features years ahead to make sure the ecosystem is there to make things a success. If Apple makes 8K video commonplace 3 years from now it would be good to have hardware decoders on macs now. Since Apple likes real time processing. Maybe they might have filters or basic 8K video editing in the photos app. In order to play it they will need decoders and to save the file after editing they need encoders. Most base MacBook users only plug into one display after all. Who knows what apple has planned for the years to come but it’s definitely part of the plan to give the base M2 that feature. What’s weird AF is how Low the base storage is. How am I supposed to edit 8K videos on 512GB? I’ll need 1-2Tb at the least. If I keep it for 4 years and want to edit 8K I’ll have to use a thunderbolt 3 drive facepalm đŸ€Šâ€â™‚ïž. My point is it’s unlikely for 8K to be a professional only thing 2-3 years down the road.

      Anyone that actually owns a M1pro or Max knows that they can throw literally anything at them and they handle them with ease. M1 was groundbreaking. Everyone wants M2 to be even more groundbreaking and it won’t be. It shouldn’t be. Again, if you own one, you know that there really isn’t much more performance you can get out of them. If software stays the same, anymore big chip upgrades won’t really even do anything. Plus, I don’t want computers to turn into phones - everyone leasing them because they don’t want to use them for longer than a couple years. No thanks. Give me solid performance updates every few years, with smaller, minimal gains in between and im good. Despite current marketing/consumerism, there is something to be said about an electronic product that actually hold ups for 5 years and isn’t forced into retirement thru “updates” or “chip limitations”
