Namely that Apple has basically plonked an M2 chip in the M1 MacBook Pro

chip is essentially the same laptop as its predecessor, the MacBook Pro 13-inch M1, a teardown of the new notebook has shown – not that this is much of a surprise.

Essentially, Apple has taken the MacBook Pro 13-inch with M1, removed that SoC, then dropped in an M2 to replace it, with only some minor updates to other smaller internal components.
