Nuevo chip SoC Apple M1 1/3 #Apple #MacBookAir #MacBookPro #MacMini #chip #AppleM1

Entre hoy, mañana y pasado os quiero comentar las novedades que presentó Apple la semana pasada con sus tres nuevos ordenadores con el nuevo y flamante chip SoC Apple M1.

En concreto fueron 3 los modelos de Apple presentados con el chip M1: MacBook Air, MacBook Pro y Mac Mini . SoC Apple M1 tiene arquitectura ARM de 5 nanómetros, cuenta con 16 billones de transistores, y con 16-cores: 8 GPU 8 CPU. Quizás lo más destacado es su potencia eléctrica y ventilación activa.

Welcome to the future of Mac:
Introducing the new MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini, all the Apple M1 chip

Small chip. Giant leap

Packed with an astonishing 16 billion transistors, the new M1 chip integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and so much more onto a single tiny chip.

Combines with the new mcOC Big Sur, M1 delivers category-smashing speed, min-bending graphics, and power efficiency and battery life that defy belief.

Small chip. Giant leap:

M1 is here. Our first chip designed specifically for Mac, it delivers incredible performance, custom technologies, and revolutionary power efficiency. And it was designed from the very start to work with the most advanced desktop operating system in the world, macOS Big Sur. With a giant leap in performance per watt, every Mac with M1 is transformed into a completely different class of product. This isn’t an upgrade. It’s a breakthrough.

An entire system. On a single chip:

Until now, a Mac needed multiple chips to deliver all of its features — including the processor, I/O, security, and memory. With M1, these technologies are combined into a single system on a chip (SoC), delivering a new level of integration for more simplicity, more efficiency, and amazing performance. And with incredibly small transistors measured at an atomic scale, M1 is remarkably complex — packing the largest number of transistors we’ve ever put into a single chip. It’s also the first personal computer chip built using industry‑leading 5‑nanometer process technology.

Unified memory. Shared across the entire system.

M1 also features our unified memory architecture, or UMA. M1 unifies its high‑bandwidth, low‑latency memory into a single pool within a custom package. As a result, all of the technologies in the SoC can access the same data without copying it between multiple pools of memory. This dramatically improves performance and power efficiency. Video apps are snappier. Games are richer and more detailed. Image processing is lightning fast. And your entire system is more responsive.

Massive CPU performance. Using a fraction of the power.

The 8‑core CPU in M1 is by far the highest‑performance CPU we’ve ever built. Designed to crush tasks using the least amount of power, M1 features two types of cores: high performance and high efficiency. So from editing family photos to exporting iMovie videos for the web to managing huge RAW libraries in Lightroom to checking your email, M1 blazes right through it all — without blazing through battery life.

Mañana seguimos con las especificaciones técnicas de este nuevo chip SoC Apple M1 que sustituye a los típicos Intel Inside que hasta la fecha estaba incorporando Apple en sus ordenadores.
