It also integrates multiple independent controllers, including system management controller, audio controller, and solid state drive(SSD) controller. In addition, T2 brings a familiar voice to the MacBook Pro: Hey, Siri. It’s always ready to open an app for you, find a document, play music, or answer your questions.

The T2 chip integrates a range of controllers for Mac computers and makes the coprocessor more specialized. These controllers include a system management controller, a graphics signal processor, an audio controller, an SSD controller, and a Secure Enclave Crypto coprocessor.

We just mentioned T2 can encrypt the flash and do not affect the performance. Why? Because it has a proprietary AES hardware engine that encrypts the data, then writes it to the SSD, and decrypts the data when it is read later.
