Not long ago, Apple launched a new generation of MacBook Pro with M2 processor. The arrival of the new machine should be a happy thing, but some bloggers have tested and found that the 13-inch 256GB SSD version of the MacBook Pro equipped with the M2 chip is significantly faster than the M1 version of similar products in terms of read and write speeds. Be slow.

Quoting benchmark data conducted by this blogger:

13-inch MacBook Pro (M1/256GB) read/write speed: 2900/2215

13-inch MacBook Pro (M2/256GB) read/write speed: 1446/1463

That is to say, in the benchmark test, the MacBook Pro 256GB version equipped with M2 is about 50% slower than the previous generation in read speed, and about 30% slower in write speed.

Regarding the reason for the new MacBook Pro’s reversal, the vlogger attributes it to Apple’s different choices for NAND flash memory.It is reported that the new MacBook Pro is equipped with only one 256GB NAND flash memory chip, while the previous model has two 128GB NAND chips.

In our past cognition, the new generation of products should maintain various parameters, or surpass the previous generation version, but Apple told us with practical actions: “Why should your next generation computer surpass this generation of computers.. …”

Although this problem only occurs on the 256GB version of the MacBook Pro, Apple has not informed consumers about this in advance, and it is very likely to affect the actual user experience. Friends who have purchase needs still need to pay attention.
