Taiwan Semiconductor will be mass-producing Apple’s new M2 chip in July for use in MacBooks for the second half of 2021. The M2 will eventually be used in other Mac and Apple devices beyond the MacBook.
The new chipset is produced by key Apple supplier Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world’s largest contract chipmaker, using the latest semiconductor production technology, known as 5-nanometer plus, or N5P.
The M1 CPU is 85% faster than an iMac using an Intel chipset and graphics performance that is twice as fast.
The current M1 chips are based on the N5 process, which according to TSMC’s official numbers offers a 15% speed improvement and a 30% reduction in power compared to the older N7 (7 nm) process. N5P improves that to 20% and 40%, respectively, compared to N7 chips. M2 will be 5% faster and use 10% less power compared to the M1.
The A16 chip for new iPhones will be manufactured based on TSMC’s future 4nm process.

There are a lot of things in my office that are connected to the internet. So that they all work in the same system and it was convenient to manage them, I turned to these guys for software development https://fireart.studio/iot-app-development-services/ who quickly and efficiently developed special software, thanks to which it became much more convenient to manage all these things!
Thanks a lot!
I think that M2 processor is gonna be one of the most reliable CPUs for iMacs. Talking of Mac and issues that can occur during any period of time, a lot of users can face different issue on technical side of software on their MacOS, that why it's pretty important what software applications or options they should use for minimizing problems and make Mac easier and more comfortable to use. For example, what would you do with a connection speed on your Mac? Here is an original site of Setapp blog, where they give all the needed information about those connection speed issues. You should check that out, if your want to know how to resolve it.
Until the ChiComs invade.
