The first Apple Silicon has been announced, and it will eventually be found in the company’s ARM-based lineup of Macs. That is correct, the new custom silicon is called the M1, and it boasts an incredible amount of innovation in terms of both performance and efficiency. Here’s a quick look at all the details and the specifications to see how far Apple has come in its chip division.

During Apple’s presentation, the company stated that the M1 features an 8-core CPU and an 8-core GPU. It mentions that the primary focus is efficiency, and it uses a ‘Unified Memory Architecture’. This means that the RAM, CPU, and GPU are shared, allowing for reduced power consumption. The four performance cores are the fastest-performing cores ever while also offering the best CPU performance-per-watt. That’s some impressive stuff right there.
