Apple’s M2 chip features an 8-core CPU that’s up to 15% faster than M1 with 100GB/s of unified memory bandwidth. A 10-core GPU delivers up to 35% faster graphics performance, and the 16-core Neural Engine can process 15.8 trillion operations per second. The overall performance of M2 turbocharges even the most demanding workflows. The advanced hardware makes the iPad Pro ideal for everyone from photographers editing massive photo libraries to designers manipulating complex 3D objects to healthcare professionals taking advanced imaging. Further, the power of M2 extends to the new media engine and the image signal processor. When combined with the advanced cameras, users are able to capture ProRes video and transcode ProRes footage up to 3x faster. This means content creators can capture, edit, and publish cinema-quality video from a single device.
Apple also takes this opportunity to upgrade the Apple Pencil with a new hover experience powered by iPad OS16. iPad now detects Apple Pencil up to 12mm above the display. This allows users to see a preview of their mark before they make it. Users are also able to sketch and illustrate with even greater precision, creating a more effortless experience.
