discrete DESKTOP gpu's beat it. still smokes everything in laptops tho if we're talking m1max/ultra. the m2 is the basic design, we'll see the m2max/ultra versions next yearThe GPU on M2 isn't any better than all the iterations of the M1 chip. Apple will still have to play catch up to a discreet GPU from the initial die analysis.
also the m2 has 10 cores vs the base m1's 7 or 8 on the GPU. so it is slightly improved- 20% better at the same power draw, but can also draw a bit more power than the m1 did and then the GPU delta goes to 35%
