Hypothetical M2 GPU Power

[greenbreadmmm]

Let's use Geekbench for whatever reason here:

21,000 score for m1

If they add 25% more cores we are looking at 26,250.

Then if apple keeps up the roughly 20% GPU gains year after year....31,500.

That would be quite the entry level machine!

Also then roughly 60k compute score for the m2pro? Which puts it damn close to the current 32core max, right?

I reckon that'll solve the "how many panels can I drive" woes

I expect somewhere between 20% to 30% improvement over M1. BTW, Geekbench compute scores for all M1 products do not reflect the true performance of the chips.

Yeah we can ignore Geekbench, prolly shoulda just used basic percentages.

If they are adding 25% more cores before the generation uplift, we are looking at a pretty solid upgrade, was my thought.

So even if the generational jump is 20%, with the added cores, thats potentially 50%+ in a single generation.

My prediction, m2 will stay as 4P+4E and maybe 2 more gpu cores. Single thread will improve by 15-20%.

M2 Pro 16-core GPU = M1 Max 24-core GPU...?

The display engine is separate from the GPU, so the GPU in itself has nothing to do with how many displays any given SoC can drive other than the need to drive said pixels.

Based on the big jump A15 made over A14, we can expect a little more than 20-30%…

What bid jump do you mean? If you are talking about the GPU, one big change in A15 was that it enabled full FP32 shader throughput rate (A14 was running half the rate). So that obviously resulted in some big improvements in some benchmarks. But M1 already runs the full rate and won't show any gains here.

But then again, it will be more than half a year between A15 and M2, who knows what new stuff will go into the M2 GPU.
