Apple’s new M6 chip adds a 12-core CPU and native FP8 support. Here’s exactly how it stacks up against the M5.
Apple’s M6 chip is built on a 2-nanometer process, the first Apple Silicon chip to use that node, and it pairs a 12-core CPU with a 12-core GPU and a dual 16-core Neural Engine. That’s a meaningful jump from the M5, which shipped with a 10-core CPU, a 10-core GPU, and a single Neural Engine just ten months earlier.
