GEMM Benchmarking on Apple M2: AMX, GPU, and Neural Engine

This story is from 2026-09-10. It is preserved in the archive; the latest stories are on the live feed.

An M2 MacBook Air packs several compute engines into a single chip: CPU vector units, the AMX matrix coprocessor, a GPU, and the Apple Neural Engine (ANE). Exploring these engines can reveal more of the machine's computing potential. The ANE is particularly interesting. Open-source projects such as…
