Apple officially announced this year's "One More Thing" new 5nm process M1 processor, and at the same time put the M1 processor into the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and Mac mini, as the beginning of the Mac bid farewell to the Intel X86 architecture processor.
Although the appearance of the new laptop remains unchanged, and the Mac mini has not been reduced as previously estimated by many researches, the performance part is still greatly improved compared with the Intel processor version of the Mac, with about 3 times the CPU upgrade, 5 ~ 6 times faster GPU performance, and significant upgrades in machine learning and energy consumption. The M1 processor also allows the new Mac to execute iOS and iPadOS App, which is not small in overall appeal.
