Same as the MacBook Pro 14-inch, the 16-inch models also feature Apple’s powerful SoCs: M2 Pro and M2 Max.
The M2 Pro-equipped 16-inch Macbook Pro has just a 12-core CPU and 19-core GPU option. The M2 Max, on the other hand, features the same 12-core CPU as the M2 Pro but with a choice of a 30 or 38-core GPU.
Apple claims that the M2 Pro and M2 Max have up to 20% better CPU performance than the M1 Pro/M1 Max. Furthermore, M2 Pro and M2 Max have up to 30% faster GPU performance than M1/M1 Max.
It comes standard with 16GB unified memory and 512GB of SSD storage. The M2 Pro version can be configured with up to 32GB unified memory and 8TB SSD storage. On the other hand, the M2 Max version can be configured with up to 96GB unified memory and 8TB SSD.
