Waiting for 36 years, Apple finally ushered in the first self -developed research chip.

I didn't expect it. Just in the early morning of Double Eleven, Apple held another conference and brought a lot of surprises.

Apple this year can be described as \"three for a while\". At the autumn conference in September, a super -strong chip A14 was released, which made iPad Air become Apple's current \"fastest\" product. Another conference was held in October to officially unveil the veil of the iPhone 12 series mobile phones.

This is not enough. The third conference just ended has not disappointed the fruit powder that wait and see. Apple brings us the first processor M1 dedicated to the Mac platform, and the M1 processor equipped with M1 processor. 13 -inch new MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and Mac Mini.

Interestingly, the biggest difference between MacBook Air and the other two Mac series products is -no fan.

Speaking, for the future development of Apple Mac products, this press conference is particularly important. The M1 chip will revolutionize MACs from hardware, software, and application ecosystems. In Cook's own words, \"Huge Day for Mac, Huge Day for Apple\".

Let's see what you said at the meeting.

全新自研芯片M1问世

先来看看这款苹果自研的Mac处理器M1，不仅让我们看到了Apple Silicon 计划的最新成果，更重要的是， This chip can be said to create a new era for Apple.

M1 is called Apple's strongest chip.

From the perspective of the structure.

The new chip is based on the ARM architecture and adopts the most advanced 5nm process process, including 16 billion transistors, which can bring very big surprises in performance and power performance. M1 has an 8 -core CPU, which consists of four high -performance kernels and four high -efficiency kernels, as well as 128 execution units. Each high -performance kernel provides high -performance operation for single -thread tasks.

Look at performance again.

The performance of M1 can reach twice the traditional PC chip.

It can handle up to 24,576 concurrent threads and have the peak performance of 2.6 Teraflops. This allows photographers to edit at a faster speedFor high -resolution photos, developers can also build neural networks or applications three times faster than before.

The biggest advantage of ARM architecture is that compared to British, they have better battery life and efficiency. This will make the MAC computer battery equipped with M1 longer and better performance.

For the new MacBook Air equipped with M1, Apple said that the M1 can provide a notebook computer at one time to provide up to 15 hours of wireless Internet Internet and 18 hours of video playback. In contrast, the modeling time of 4-6 hours is added compared to the current model of current Intel technology.

Another feature of the M1 chip is that it can realize instant awakening, which can also make the laptop open immediately.

The chip of the ARM architecture can also run iOS and iPados applications on MacOS. As for the application of MacOS, Apple has updated the support Silicon program such as Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.

Mac's new era starts: MacBook and Mac MINI

M1 equipped with M1 chips are good, but they are not sold separately. Next, let's take a look at the Mac computer equipped with the ARM chip architecture launched by Apple, including 13 -inch new MacBook Pro, new MacBook Air, and Mac mini.

Let's talk about MacBook Air first. This is the first MacBook Air equipped with Apple's own ARM -based CPU. It is also the first laptop using Mac.

Basic models include a 7 -core GPU and 256GB storage space, and 8GB of memory, starting at $ 999; and models with 8 -core GPU, 8GB memory and 512GB storage space. US dollar; maximum configuration reaches 16GB of memory and 2TB storage space, which is priced at $ 2049.

The performance of the new 13 -inch MacBook Pro has increased by 2.8 times, while the graphic processing performance is 5 times higher than the previous generation. Unlike the new MacBook Air, it still has an active cooling fan system. There is still one Touch Bar, and two Thunderbolt 4 (on the left side of the laptop).

The battery life has also achieved leap -up growth: it can support up to 17 hours of web browsing and 20 -hour video playback. Apple said that this has been extended for 10 hours before and is the longest battery life provided by MAC so far.

New MacBook ProThe basic models are 8GB memory 16GB storage space, and there are 256GB, 512GB and 1TB and 2TB configurations.

This is a huge leap for Apple's internal chip and ARM -based laptops.

However, watching MacBook Pro and Air are getting more and more similar. What is their differences?

It is really not a joke, their biggest difference is: fan.

Don't underestimate the fan. With its existence, the computer can better heat dissipation to maintain the best performance.

The new MacBook Air uses a fanless design, although theoretically the same processor can run at the same speed -but Apple has confirmed that the fan of MacBook Pro and Mac mini allows them to make them longer for a longer time. Maintain the best performance.

Since Mac mini, Then talk about it. The new Mac mini just released has undoubtedly adopted an ARM -based self -developed M1 chip, which is also the first Mac mini since 2018.

The new Mac mini equipped with the M1 chip, the energy efficiency was increased by 60 %. In addition, Apple also said that compared with the previous generation, the device's \"CPU speed has increased by 3 times\", \"graphic display performance has increased 6 times\", and it has 16GB of memory and a solid state storage of up to 2TB.

Specifically, the new Mac mini can perform many tasks faster than the previous generation of products, including:

The speed of compiling code in Xcode has increased by 3 times to play with the tomb Li Ying The maximum frame rate is 4 times the complicated timeline speed in Final Cut Pro increased by 6 times the real -time plug -in in Logic Pro, which increased by 3 times more photos in Pixelmator Pro, which increased by 15 times

Finally Take a look at the price.

Three Macs equipped with the M1 chip this time can now be found on the official website. Starting from MacBook Air 7999 yuan, MacBook Pro 9999 yuan, Mac mini 5,299 yuan. However, it is worth noting that Apple is marked with the position of significant models, the model is approved for sale, and each customer is limited to 2 units.

The application of ARM architecture chip is not easy to apply on Apple Computer, MAC ushered in a historic moment

] With the advent of Apple's self -developed chip, in Cook's words, Mac's future has entered an unknown area full of infinite potential.

In fact, Apple's A series chip is not a new concept. At that time, it launched A4 SOC and the original iPad. For more than ten years, Apple has been designing its own chip inside.

从那以后，苹果公司的芯片制造工作已经扩展到几乎所有的苹果硬件，包括高性能的iPad pro、 HomePods, Apple TV, Apple Watch, and AirPods, all of which include a large number of chips designed by Apple. However, Apple has never tested on the equipment such as a laptop.

It is even more difficult to apply the ARM architecture chip to Apple Computer. You know, the performance of no laptop based on ARM technology can be comparable to Apple's MacBook Pros or Dell's XPS series, let alone desktop computers.

This does not mean that Apple is not prepared at all. On the one hand, Apple has worked hard for more than ten years, and on the other hand, Apple has also tried to simplify transition in software.

Today, from the content of the press conference, Apple is full of confidence in the MacBook of its ARM architecture chip. In any case, for Apple, this is a brand new beginning of the Mac family. Let's wait and see.
