Announced just about a week ago we're already seeing the M1 MacBook Pros landing in the hands of those who excitedly ordered the post x86 life that Apple is embracing. Once getting in their hands the owners wasted no time churning out benchmark results to share with the world just what their new laptop is capable of. > Just a brief recap before we get a quick look at what the performance looks like we need to cover just what the Apple M1 is. Apple has made a departure from its relationship with Intel for its mobile parts and has gone with its own 5nm ARM-based processor.  Rocking an 8-core design and up to an 8-core GPU the Apple M1 is designed to offer superior performance at never before delivered power efficiency.  The new silicon uses a ‘Unified Memory Architecture’, basically this means that the RAM, CPU, and GPU are shared, allowing for reduced power consumption.
