The new Apple M2 processor was revealed at WWDC 2022 last week, it will be used in the new MacBook Air and the new 13-inch M2 MacBook.
The MacBook Air will be on sale next month and the 13-inch M2 MacBook goes on sale today. Now the new M2 processor from these new laptops has been benchmarked.
The M2 processor is said to be about 18 percent quicker than the M1 in terms of processor speed, some current benchmarks have confirmed these stats.
The benchmarks were from Geekbench and they can be seen in the tweet below.
CPU Benchmarks have leaked for Apple's M2 chip!
3.49GHz CPU clock vs M1's 3.2GHz
Single-core performance gain vs M1: 11.56%
Multi-core performance gain vs M1: 19.45%A little bit better than my estimates. I'm impressed!https://t.co/TGHOHw77Ds

As we can see from the benchmarks the M2 multi-core performance is about 20 percent higher than that of Apple’s M1 processor.
Apple will also be unleashing some more powerful performances of the M2 later this year, we are hoping to see an M2 Pro and an M2 Max.
