Yesterday, I looked at how AMD made its chips 50% faster within a span of two years. Many people asked me to cover Apple M2 processors. So let us go!
Consider the base Apple Silicon chips: M2 (2022), M3 (2023), M4 (2024) and M5 (2025). I'm skipping the original one (M1) for simplicity and I am not considering the Pro and Max chips. The M6 is out there too, just release... but I am going to cover it at the end.
On Geekbench 6, performance went up by about 50% in three years. The increase in performance is rather gradual as you can see. No big jump.
How? Let us find out!
