Apple introduces its own M1 Processor

Apple is making the transition to its own 5nm chip called M1. Apple claims that it is the most powerful chip that it ever created that is specially designed for the Mac. This new chip features a unified memory architecture for improved performance. Chipset is packed with 16 billion transistors, the fastest CPU core in low power. The world's best CPU performance per watt. M1 chip is powerful enough for fastest integrated graphics in personal computer and machine learning performance with Apple neural engine. M1 delivers up to 3.5x faster CPU performance up to 6x faster GPU performance and up to 15x faster machine learning.

Apple M1 Equipped MacBook Air

The MacBook Air is the first Mac to get powered by M1 chip. With this M1 chip, MacBook Air speeds through intensive tasks from editing the family photo to exporting videos. The 8-core CPU performs up to 3.5x faster than the previous generation, whereas the 8 core GPU, graphic is 5x faster.
