Intel and AMD make processors using the x86 architecture. x86 is quite complex with a lot of specialised functionality that makes it a very capable architecture. However, you’re limited to a few manufacturers to design and create those chips. ARM-based chips (like the M1) are less complex, so they need to do more actions to perform the same task.
The community for everything related to Apple's Mac computers! Apple silicon meme. A more accurate meme could be guy looking at M1 and ignoring M3. That was me last week picking up a MacBook Pro with M2 Max, 32 GB RAM, and 1 TB SSD for $900 off. Grab those clearance M2s while you can.
The numbers here seem like a generational thing like the iPhones. This is still an M1 chip, just enhanced. I was referring to numbers as in referring to specifications of the chip itself. Same with X’s and Z’s, they don’t provide any info on the chips themselves. M1Z - same M1X cpu but a considerably better gpu.

The most important reason to choose an M1 iMac is the most obvious: The new processor should offer eyebrow-raising performance under certain circumstances. We already know that in the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro, the M1 chip rivals and sometimes exceeds the performance of Intel’s latest mobile-grade Core i7 CPUs, even while it’s running softwar...
With most of us using our computers as essential tools for work and social interactions during these socially distant times, video and audio quality are more important than ever. Apple recognized this early in the pandemic, or at least was in lucky lockstep, adding a 1080p webcam and a three-mic array to the 27-inch 5K iMacintroduced last summer. T...
The M1 chip works splendidly in the MacBook Air, Apple’s smallest laptop. So it stands to reason that even with the added cooling fans and larger logic board of the iMac, the M1 can still enable a much slimmer, lighter machine than the years-old design of Intel-powered iMacs. That’s exactly the approach that Apple decided to take, and the effect is...
In addition to handling image processing, the T2 chip used in several other Apple products originally handled the authentication of your fingerprint when you use the Touch ID sensor to log in to your macOS account. It was somewhat puzzling to me when Apple elected not to add a Touch ID sensor to the Magic Keyboard last year following the debut of t...
The M1 chip shares the same software architecture as the A-series chips in Apple smartphones and tablets, which means it can run iPad and iPhone apps. This isn’t unique to the iMac, as the M1-powered Macs announced six months ago also feature this capability. Nevertheless, the ability to pull up a phone app in the corner of the expansive 24-inch di...
