The new chipset is now installed in new computers – Macbook Air, Macbook Pro 13 and Mac Mini.
Apple M1 is the first chipset processor by Apple which will run Apple’s next updated software, the “macOS Big Sur”. The new processor will come with 5nm process technology and packed with an astounding 16 billion transistors. On the cores section Apple M1 equipped with 8 cores in total that 4 high performance cores and 4 high efficiency cores. In addition to that, along with the Apple M1 we have the graphic chipset with 8 cores, Neural Engine with 16 cores for artificial intelligence and machine learning processing.
And now lets move to Apple’s products that will be the first to wield that powerful processor the Apple M1:
