M6 MacBook Pro: Three new upgrades launching later this month

Apple has a new M6 MacBook Pro launching later this month with a 14-inch screen and the current industrial design. And with its M6 chip, there are three upgrades we can expect from the new MacBook Pro.

If AI is in any way significant to your workflows—and with macOS 27’s AI features, it will be for more users—then the M6 MacBook Pro could be a big upgrade.

That’s because the M6 chip includes a Dual 16-core Neural Engine, up from the standard 16-core version available in M5 and prior. Per Apple:

M6 also introduces a Dual 16-core Neural Engine, providing up to 2x the peak compute over previous generations to make on-device AI workflows run even faster. System frameworks can automatically utilize both engines simultaneously, enabling applications to see faster model execution.

The base M6 chip offers a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU. Both are solid upgrades over the M5, which was limited to 10 cores each.

M6’s CPU cores are especially interesting, as Apple is bringing three distinct core types to its base chip for the first time. It has 2 super cores, 4 performance cores, and 6 efficiency cores. Here’s what Apple says about each core:

Previously only M5 Pro, M5 Max, and M5 Ultra provided super cores and performance cores in a single chip. But now these Pro-level capabilities are available for standard M6 users.

M6 is the first Apple chip built on a new 2nm process.
