Couldn't find if it is using the new TSMC 3nm technology. That's really what matters.

The article says "second-generation 5-nanometer process technology".

What a big disappointment. I will pass this one...

Why does it matter?

Because the new process will deliver a good step forward in performance and efficiency. We will have to wait for the M3 chips to get a significant improvement. These M2 chips seem to be about a 20% CPU and 30% GPU improvement which is not going to be worth upgrading from M1 chips for the vast majority of people. M3 on a 3nm process will be worth the upgrade for more people.

I am really frustrated that the M2 Pro still only supports 2 external monitors.

I don't really need the power of the Max, I just need to be able to power 3 monitors. I figured with the power increase it would at least jump up to 3 this generation, but I guess not.

I was putting off buying a new 16" hoping the m2 would fix this issue, but looks like I am just getting the m2 max.

Have you tried ultrawide monitors? I don’t think I could go back to multiple individual monitors.

Yes, I have 2 :)

Agreed.

It seems like an artificial limit to force some product segmentation.

And as such it comes across as very hostile towards customers.

I expect it’s going to be one of this things, regardless of how much GPU power you have, that the base model Pro won’t run more than 2 displays :-/
