Apple M1 Chip - Small Chip, Giant Leap
In recent apple event, they unveiled a new processor
specially designed for Mac named M1 and it was designed from the very start to
work with the most advanced desktop operating system in the world, macOS Big
Sur.

Single
System on a Chip (SoC)
A Mac needed multiple chips to deliver all of its
features, including the processor, I/O, security, and memory. These features
are combined into a Single System on a Chip (SoC) through M1. It delivering a
new level of integration for more simplicity, more efficiency, and amazing
performance. With incredibly small transistors measured at an atomic size, M1
is remarkably complex, packing the largest number of transistors (likely 16
billion transistors) we’ve ever put into a single chip. It’s also the personal
computer chip built using industry-leading 5-nanometer process technology.

Unified
Memory
M1 also features unified memory architecture (UMA).
M1 unifies its high-bandwidth, low-latency memory into a single pool within a
customer package. As a result, all of the technologies in the SoC can access
the same data without copying it between multiple pools of memory. This
dramatically improves performance and power efficiency. Video apps are
snappier. Games are richer and more detailed. Image processing is lightning
fast and your entire system is more responsive.

Massive
CPU Performance
The 8-core CPU in M1 is by far the highest-performance CPU we’ve ever built. Designed to crush tasks using the least amount of power, M1 features two types of cores: high-performance and high efficiency. In four performance cores, each designed to run a single task as efficiently as possible while maximizing performance. Other four efficiency cores to handle lighter workloads. They use a tenth of the power while still delivering outstanding performance. At just 10 watts, M1 delivers up to 2x the CPU performance of the PC chip.
World’s
fastest integrated graphics
Integrated graphics of M1 brings a huge increase in
graphics performance together with low power consumption. The result of years
of through analysis of Mac applications, the GPU in M1 is the advanced graphics
processor with eight GPU cores. M1 is capable of executing nearly 25,000
threads at a time.

Next
Generation of Machine Learning
M1 features latest Neural Engines contains 16-core
design. It is capable of executing a massive 11 trillion operations per second.
With a powerful 8-core GPU, machine learning accelerators, and the Neural Engine,
the entire M1 chip is designed to excel at machine learning.

Ridiculous
battery life
M1 extends battery life even while bringing a
massive increase in performance. But the chip itself is only part of this
incredible power efficiency story. macOS Big Sur features advanced power
management that intelligently allocates tasks between the M1 performances and
efficient cores.
About
macOS Big Sur
macOs Big Sur is engineered to take full advantages
of all the capability and the power of M1 Chip. It makes everything you love
about macOs faster, better, and secure. It’s our most powerful software ever, running
on our most advanced software ever. macOs Big Sur brings a redefined new design
that gives you even more of the things you love about Mac. It is packed with
technologies that allow you to run a greater range of apps than ever before for
Mac and as developer, continue to build new apps for M1, that collection will
only grow.
