Sort of a “spec bump+”.

The biggest change, IIRC, is that the M1 was based on the A12(?) but the M2 was based on the A14(?). So the CPU/GPU design was newer. They tweaked and improved other modules like the neural engine too.

So it wasn’t just clock speed, but to most end users it was just somewhat faster and more mature.

Nothing special/amazing/transformative.

M1 was based on the A14 cores, the M2 is based on the A15 cores.
