Apple M1 System on a Chip (SOC)

[tom95521]

It looks like the Apple M1 type of silicon is the future of personal computing. Integrating as much as possible on a single die with CPU, GPU, and RAM. TSMC will be producing 3nm chips in 2023. This will allow lower power, faster, more cpu/gpu cores, memory, and neural engine cores. AI is now used for enlarging images, noise reduction, object recognition, self driving cars, etc.

Performance in Affinity Photo is apparently faster than any Intel Mac (except maybe the very expensive Mac Pro).

Thanks, Tom,

Yes, quite interesting info about performance of Apple M1 chip.

P.S. I'll try to build Universal app with PTE (Apple M1 + Intel) next Monday.

Performance comparison from https://www.anandtech.com/show/16226/apple-silicon-m1-a14-deep-dive

The M1 will be even faster than the A14. I think It will take a few years for AMD and Intel SOC technology to catch up with Apple. AMD is probably closer than Intel. It will be interesting to see Nvidia's AI technology.

Reviews for Apple M1 computers are showing up on YT today.

The M1 is a great video editing computer. I'm sure it will be super fast with PTE AV Studio.
