At WWDC22, Apple compared its next-gen M2 SOC to Intel's Alder Lake mobility CPUs, claiming similar or better performance in various scenarios.

It's been only a few hours since Apple revealed its M2 SOC and several MacBook designs that make use of the new chip. To give a quick recap, the Apple M2 SOC is based on an optimized 5nm node & it is claimed to be a second-generation node, consisting of 20 Billion transistors. This is a 25 percent increase over the M1 SOC. The die size has also seen a small increase and we now have a chip with 10 cores versus 8 on the previous M1. That's also a 25 percent increase over its predecessors. It is not clear if the cores are split evenly (5 P-Cores + 5 E-Cores) or if we are looking at a different config but based on the die shot, we can see five P-Cores.
