MacBooks: M1 Processor Takes Mac Family Into a New Era

This year, Apple is taking the Mac to new heights with the introduction of the industry-leading M1 chip, ushering in a new era for macOS and the future of computing.

POWERED BY THE M1 CHIP

At Apple’s virtual Worldwide Developers Conference in June, the company confirmed that it was to transition away from Intel processors to its own custom chips, known as Apple Silicon. At the time, the organization said that the move towards its own chips would take around two years and that new Macs would be rolled out through to 2022 to complete the move. During the company’s November keynote presentation, held exclusively to discuss the transition to these new chips, Apple introduced M1, the most advanced computing chip to date, and designed exclusively for macOS devices to better unify hardware and software.

In the past, Macs have used multiple chips for the CPU, I/O, security, and more, but the new M1 chip streamlines these technologies into a single SoC, not only freeing up space inside of Mac devices but offering greater performance and power efficiency in the process. The new custom chip, which has been in development for at least three years, includes unified memory architecture that offers high-bandwidth, low-latency memory; all the technologies in the chip can access the same data, meaning that it doesn’t have to be copied to multiple pools of memory, which significantly reduces power consumption and boosts performance.
