Apple Brings M6 Updates to MacBook Pro and iMac Lines - CNET
On the heels of yesterday’s new iPad Mini, Apple has turned its attention to its Mac lineup. Unlike the iPad Mini that received an OLED display and a water-resistant design, today’s Mac updates are mere spec bumps. After debuting its M6 processor with the Mac Mini in August, Apple is bringing the new chip to both its entry-level MacBook Pro and iMac.
M6 means more cores
The M6 chip in the MacBook Pro features a 12-core CPU (two super cores, four performance cores and six efficiency cores) and a 12-core GPU. The previous M5 model had a 10-core CPU (four super cores and six efficiency cores) and a 10-core GPU.
In addition, the Neural Engine in the M6 doubles the number of cores, with a dual 16-core NE replacing the single 16-core NE from before.
