Background information about the processors being compared, series, generation and market segment.
Basic parameters such as number of cores, number of threads, base and turbo frequency, and cache size. These parameters indirectly tell about the speed of the processor, the higher they are the better.
Internal Graphics does not affect the performance of the CPU, performs the work of the graphics card in its absence or on mobile devices.
Built-in codecs used to encode and decode content. Significantly speeds up the required operations.
Types, channel quantity of RAM supported by Google Tensor and Apple M2. Depending on the motherboards, higher or lower memory frequencies may be supported.
Compare the TDP requirements of TDP Apple M2 and Google Tensor to select a cooling system. Note, the TDP value refers to thermal watts, not electrical watts.
Architecture, interfaces, additional instructions supported by Apple M2 and Apple M2, virtual machine technologies and process technology.
Based on the results of several benchmarks, you can more accurately estimate the difference in performance between Apple M2 and Google Tensor.
