He started today's press conference Apple introducing the first custom processor for Macs called the M1. According to him, it is extremely powerful, but also very unique in that it combines GPU, DRAM and CPU together. It is based on 5nm technology which Apple also used in processors Apple A14 Bionic in this year's iPhoneand iPads Air.

ProThe cesor boasts an incredible 16 billion transistors and an eight-core CPU. Its main advantages include high performance combined with miniconsumption. It is also quite interesting that about it Apple It is said to be the fastest processor in the world in terms of single-core speed. If you are interested in the cache, it has 128kb, or 64kb of data cache. ProThe M1 also offers the following words: Applu also has the best CPU performance per watt in the world. In terms of power consumption, it is 2x better per watt than the best PC processors in the world.
As for the graphics side of the processor, there is an octa-core GPU with 128 performance units offering 2,6 teraflops. Here, of course, it is true that Apple focused on extreme energy efficiency, which should be 2x better than the best GPU chip in the world. Then about the graphics Apple it also claimed to be the fastest integrated graphics card in the world, which is almost unbelievable. Of course, there is also HDR support.

The M1 also offers a sixteen-core Neural Engine, Security Enclave, Thunderbolt support, USB 4 and other goodies. In addition Apple it also promises the seamless integration of hardware and software that has made the Mac better than ever before. The software will be able to get into the computer much better thanks to the design of its own chip and de facto match it with the hardware. The new macOS Big Sur was developed with an emphasis on these features, which should be reflected in the overall speed of the Mac. This should be roughly 2x higher than it is now for chipsets with Intel - even the most demanding applications (which are, of course, already Apple Silicon(for customized).
It is very interesting that all parts of the processor work together intelligently, with software also being significantly involved in the cooperation. Through this, the Mac can also be very well customized, including in terms of Power Management, in which you can set both the emphasis on maximal performance, as well as the emphasis on maximal energy savings. The icing on the cake is secure boot and automatic encryption, making Macs with M1 the most secure computers in the world. Everything will be encrypted directly in the processor, making it virtually impossible toancek of any data leakage. But you will also be pleased with the full customizability of native applications from Appyou.

If you're wondering how apps currently running on Intel will fare, we've got good news for you - with Rosetta's developer conversion software, it shouldn't be a problem to convert anything that worked on a Mac to processors Apple Silicon. What's also pleasing about the applications is that the applications created for iOS and iPadOS will now be able to run on a Mac, which will be really great. However, as we reported this afternoon, it will be up to developers whether they allow this option. So definitely don't count on enjoying all the content of your iPhones 1:1 on Macs.
- Newly introduced Apple products will be available for purchase except Apple.com for example on Alge, Mobil Pohotovosti or u iStores
Secure boot and disk encryption is already happening, with AMD, TPM is also directly in the CPU.
