The first Apple Silicon Macs include the $999 MacBook Air, 13-in. Now link your new pro laptop up to Apple’s Pro Display XDR and have a little giggle as you consider the performance you would expect from a notebook attempting high-end video graphics as recently as early 2018. Perhaps the most impressive statistic in terms of sheer computational power (to me) was Apple’s claim that the first M1-powered MacBook Pro will play back full quality 8k ProRes video in DaVinci Resolve with zero dropped frames. On the Mac mini, you’ll be able to boost the resolution of an image in Pixelmator Pro up to 15x faster.You can run iPhone and iPad apps, including those enterprise-specific apps you use to get business done.All Apple’s software runs natively on the chip, while existing apps that haven’t been transitioned use Rosetta 2 to run.Safari is twice as responsive and 1.5x better at running JavaScript.Machine learning operations such as image optimization will be up to 15x faster.You’ll build in Xcode 2.8x faster and render a complex 3D title in Final Cut Pro up to 5.9x faster on the MacBook Pro.The company worked to put a little context around these “speeds and feeds” claims, noting real-life benefits, such as: Apple says the M1 chip can deliver up to 3.5x faster CPU, up to 6x faster GPU, up to 15x machine learning capabilities and twice the battery life of previous systems.īut wait, there's more: advanced power management, low-power video playback, HDR imaging and video processor, high-bandwidth caches, machine learning accelerators, a high-quality image signal processor (ISP), high-efficiency audio, fourth-generation PCI express and NVMe storage.The performance-per-watt the chip can deliver means the first Apple Silicon MacBook Air has no fan, realizing a long-held ambition of Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs for a fan-free Mac – one that isn’t compromised.(I can’t help but point out that that is the equivalent of 11 XServes in every Mac – think what that can do for machine learning.) It boasts a 16-core Neural engine capable of handling 11 trillion operations per second.You’re basically looking at 2.6 teraflops of throughput. That means smooth 4K video playback, complex 3D and more. Graphics? The GPU inside the M1 has its own eight cores and can run almost 25,000 simultaneous threads.And all eight chips can work together when you need to put your Mac to work. The high-efficiency cores handle all the everyday tasks like web surfing and email. The first deliver pro performance for single core tasks, and can be used together for boosted multi-thread performance.
