Apple launches 2nm M6 chip with 12-core CPU/GPU and up to 32 GB unified memory
↗
Apple announced the M6 chip, built on a 2nm process, featuring a 12-core CPU and GPU, up to 32 GB of unified memory, and is billed as delivering the world’s fastest single-threaded performance, debuting in a new Mac Mini.
The 2nm node and 12-core design raise the ceiling for single-threaded workloads that many development tools still depend on. Engineers working on AI or graphics can exploit the larger unified memory bandwidth and integrated Neural Engine for on-device processing, reducing reliance on external accelerators. The claim of the fastest single-threaded performance signals a shift toward higher per-core efficiency in desktop silicon.
