Apple introduced the M2 chip in 2022. This successor of the M1 chip by Apple is faster and more energy-efficient than its predecessor. As a result, your MacBook still has the same battery life, but will reach better performance. The 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU really took the M2 chip to the next level graphically. And with the transfer speed of 100Gbps, the chip is faster in its entirety. The MacBook Pro 13 inches (2022) is the first MacBook Pro model with this improved M2 chip.
