In this video Iâm going to tell you exactly why Appleâs brand new M1 chipset is just kicking the ever-loving silicon out of Intel right now, kicking them right out of the low power, entry-level Macs and, in some cases, posting results that just clown even higher power, higher-end PCs.
Why? Because of Apple's heavy investment in integrated, scalable architecture. That's what lets them cover all these products efficiently, without the complexity that would come from having to treat each one as a separate client.
And it also means M1 gets to leverage many of the same latest, greatest IP blocks as A14. Only the implementation differs.
For example, the compute engines are close to what a theoretical A14X would look like, 4 high-efficiency CPU cores, 4 high-performance CPU cores, 8 GPU cores, and twice the memory bandwidth and higher memory
But the M1 CPUs can be clocked higher and it has more memory. iOS hasnât gone beyond 6GB in the iPad Pro or latest iPhone Pros. But the M1 supports up to 16GB.
Then there are the Mac-specific IP. Things like hypervisor acceleration for virtualization, new texture formats in GPU for Mac-specific application types, display engine support for the 6K Pro Display XDR, and the Thunderbolt controllers which lead out to the re-timers. In other words, things the iPhone or iPad donât need⊠or currently just donât have.
It also means that the T2 co-processor is gone now, because that was always really just a version of the Apple A10 chipset handling all the things Intel just wasnât as good at. Literally a short series of chips Apple had to make, and run BridgeOS on - a variant of watchOS - just to handle everything Intel couldnât.
And all of that is now integrated into the M1. And the M1 has the latest generation of all those IP, from the Secure Enclave to the accelerator and controller blocks, and on and on. The scalable architecture means itâll almost certainly stay that way as well, with all the chipsets benefitting from the advances and investments in any of the chipsets.

đ€Šââïž Erratum: I blanked on the iPad 3. That was the first AX-series device.
I get Curiositystream as part of my Cable TV package, it is unfortunate the Nebula is not included, or available as an add on
@@mikenyr4life491 Contact them... youâve got nothing to lose and I think Nebula is offered for free with any Curiosity package.
@@Mrst3lios89 I've sent them an email hopefully they can add or include this and it is just an oversight.
I like your Expos cap, I'm from Montreal ;-) Great video as always!
Even apple would want to blank out on iPad 3, considering it was one of the worst iPads ever made.
This video has made me understand how and how much value Apple actually creates for its customers. Most other channels talk about Apple in a superficial manner, especially prominent in the M1 Hot Takes video that Rene made recently. Thanks man! I wish you the best
Apple is forcing the competition to level up or get left in the dust.
I really hope they build cars
Imagine what the MacPro could do with that chip in it.
@@smplfy they arenât gunning for Microsoft. Theyâre partners in crime. Theyâre gunning for Intel, the reason for their two biggest failures of the 2010s: the trash can Mac Pro 2013, and the 12 inch MacBook 2015. This fanless MacBook Air was the warning gunshot. Whatever they do for the pros next year is the kill shot. Intel is 10 years behind and itâs their own doing. If they die, Microsoft and Apple can both move into the future. If they survive, itâs because Apple forced their hand.
â@@smplfy Er... macOS is FREE and Windows isn't, how can it "cost more and more"? Not only is free, you get next versions for free as well. Doesn't the price of a Windows license almost cover the difference in RAM or SSD at purchaste time? If you're only a gamer then by all means get a Windows gaming PC. But for a LOT of people who actually work for real on their computer, having macOS is almost a must. Examples: coding and programming (where a Unix-like OS is very helpful), graphic and motion design, music producing, content creators. People who actually earn money by using a computer almost always choose Mac, at least when given the free choice. I do coding and music composition and a Mac is the perfect match. Not cheap, agreed. Just like driving better cars or eating at better restaurants.
I love some video games and Mac can't do that :(
M1 makes Intel look like they have been asleep for the last decade.
Well they kind of have been because up until recently with AMD and now Apple silicon, they've had no competition.
They got comfortable (and more greedy)
Might want to check out the latest benchmarks, the M1 was smoked by Intel, and destroyed by AMD.
@@looneyburgmusic That's not entirely true, you have to compare it to the same processors in the same class. But given they're even giving i9's a run for their money proves that Intel has been asleep for the last decade.
@@looneyburgmusic the x86 processors were overclocked whereas the M1 was running on 10w. The chip isn't made to run on that much power and raw benchmarks are completely useless. Real life performance is phenomenally better in M1
@@looneyburgmusic Have you compared chips that consume similar Power? With portable devices, power and performance are important.
THIS is the kinda content I love to see from your channel, super great analysis of the past and drawing a straight line from that to the present, and get a sense of trajectory for the future. Excellent video Rene!
Those who understand innovation are excited
Very much so!
I wonder how this will drive the PC Windows business? Will this kick off another 90s computer war?
I could just be a hype beast but I donât think people know how important this is.
Server farm costs largely are driven by power supply and cooling. This could be huge (10-22x) from what I am hearing??
@@GrumpaLoz or render farms etc..... floor to ceiling with dynamically scalable, hot-swappable, iPhone-sized (no display to drive) units using 1/10th the power and cooling in 1/10th the facility footprint....also, consider the potential for Mobile/Prefab, Shipping container-sized units.... yeah, its coming.... Apple M-Series Enterprise SoCs ..... amazing !!!!!!
It is rare to find a video so well thought out and researched as this one. Just 35 minutes of excellent information, delivered in a comprehensive way and often funny and amusing as well. Great job đ
I just am discovering M1 today, and it's so fascinating. I had given up Apple products due to being much more expensive than PCs. This is luring me back to MAC OS.
Rene, your storytelling/explaining skills are outstanding.
Itâs like reading a book or listening to an Apple keynote: very fascinating!
Thank you!
BETTER than an Apple keynote! (more succinct , edited for the info, not "lifestyle".)
I want to wholeheartedly agree. I appreciate Rene's tenor and accent on inflection are very effective.
And at 1.5x
this is very interesting, and hard to tell because most people don't understand the sense of it, many think more ram more cores more ghz is what they need to be more powerful, I learned that almost 20 years ago when an amd athlon xp was beating pentium 4 with much lower ghz speeds, and that was just 1 core era
Imagine how bummed Rene was after filming for 35 minutes, and being slightly out of focus haha. Great content tho!!
Side effect of filming after the podcast and being dumb, alas.
I thought it was some problem with my phone's screen
Ya. I kept checking the streaming qualityđ
Nice crisp cabling on the sweater, though.
@@ReneRitchie Oh..... I thought you did this one on the 720p(otato) Cam
Is it fair to say this M1 chip from đ is similarly as important as the iPhone invention? I think it is, maybe more important in the future than we realize?
After hearing about the initial test results from Apple's M1 CPUs, I decided to buy a RISC-based computer of my own to experiment with. I have no interest in Apple products, so I bought a secondhand Samsung Galaxy Book S for half-price on eBay (about $500). I installed a dev-channel version of Windows 10 that includes x86-64 emulation support, updated a couple of drivers, and started testing various programs I use. I was shocked to discover that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx CPU, lacking Apple's custom optimizations, can nonetheless run several of my Steam games without a dedicated graphics card, while emulating the x86-64 instruction set at the same time. This has me wondering if the entire current paradigm for PC hardware, being resource- and energy-intensive, has been misguided all along.
@@deusexaethera It sure is. Remember even we have gone a far way from the first 8086 to todays 64bit processors a lot of power in traditional x86 hardware is being wasted cause of the backwards compatibility to 8/16bit instruction sets and various software layers to make coding easier on sisc based processors. The M1 breaks with a good amount of that backwards compatibility, but the M1 is not all glory yet. It's looking like a really solid release for the low to mid lvl userbase, but Apple still have a lot of power users in the video and music industry that is using 3'rd party hardware and software solutions wich relies on Mac Pro's with high performance, high core count Xeon cpu's and hundreds of Gb's of ram. These power users will still have to wait at least one or two generations more of the new Mac's before the software gets ported and the new mac hardware will be sufficient to run these high end solutions.
This really shows how grave the situation looks for Intel. They are getting their butt thouroghly kicked both in the lower and high end desktop and server department from AMD and the new M1 line has the potential to be the nail in the coffin for their reign in both the consumer and office solution systems if they don't start to change their strathegy. The only bad thing about this is, if it goes like Apple wants we might all be bound completely in the Apple eco system within the next 5-10 years.
@@mrdali67 â @Shawn Elliott â very interesting, I also have no interest in Apple products. Getting ARM successfully ported to Windows through some sort of x86-64 emulation that works well would be ideal, and then have a gradual phase out over a couple generations. This seems like Apple's approach. Yes this does seem like it is very bad for Intel, which is struggling to compete with AMD in the server and entire desktop space, and currently going toe-to-toe with AMD in the laptop space

I always come out of watching your videos like this one feeling like I learned a bunch and that thereâs so much more behind it. A maxim of presentations in general that I have always stood by is âknow ten times more than what youâre saying.â I always have that impression when listening to you: that your knowledge/experience/savvy exceeds your speech. That is a precious talent on CZcams/anywhere. Thanks again.
Another quality video mate, much appreciated. Really enjoyed the slightly longer format
That was very helpful and educational!! Thank you for your time. I am very excited about M1. My previous laptop wss dell, I had it for 11 years and died recently. I was thinking to go mac for my next one and M1 feels just the right time for me to do so. I keep on reading articles on the internet to educate myself more in Apple systems and this video was the best
I've had a 2012 MBP specd out for that year and this is the first time I have looked at upgrading and being a first mover đȘ
Iâm in the same situation. In August 2012 i bought a great 15 inch Macbook pro with, for those days!, 16 GB memory and a whopping 1 Tb ssd. Since then I have used that machine professionally every day at work. And , it is still fast and very good. The price was ridiculously expensive. And now... wow! What to do? My Macbook Pro is still OK so I will wait. But switching is tempting!!
I would wait, imagine what the M2 will bring to the table.
Same exact boat! I've almost switched to the 2015 Macbook Pro since I didn't want to lose the SD slot and HDMI port
But seeing the phenomenal results of the M-chips might mean reserving that money for the better machine that will last another 8-years! I've been very happy with the 2012 Pre-Retina Macbook Pro's reliability and upgrade-friendly interface; it's amazing to see it still keeping up with very new laptops for so much more money lol.
I think these chips might just convert many PC owners who need a machine for heavy editing and a smaller blueprint for work/travel.
Same here. 2012, i7, 16gb macbook retina
Same!
Thanks for not just telling us the myopic picture of M1 is faster, but doing deeper into what that means and how it is. Really helps me understand the future better, and gives me confidence on where these speed gains apply and dont apply. Spec folks will never get it, but you have shown a light on it.
It's great to see so many enthuseastic reactions about the M1, even from a lot of people who would normally give a "meh" response to anything Apple, but there are still some people criticising it, saying it's not that fast and that "next-gen Ryzen will blow it away" or similar. What they are missing though, is that this isn't competing with the i7-1165G7 and Ryzen 9 4900H to which it is constantly compared , the power draw puts it more in line with the i3-1110G4 and below any Ryzen I can find, presumably AMD have some Athlon series that compare.
Back in 2016, I was almost convinced that Apple was giving up on the Mac so Iâm so glad to see the M1 kicking butt. I honestly havenât been this excited for an Apple product since the lunch of the first iPad. Great time to be a Mac user again.
So whenâs the breakfast and dinner of the first iPad?
wow a full tv episode length video, nice! And I noticed the transition title cards look even prettier!
watching this one in rapt attention đ
Hey, thanks!
I am humbled by your knowledge, perspective, and ability to communicate it. And big bonus points for working-in "The Sword of Damocles". Subscribed.
Ok that was fantastic. Not sure who you are or where you came from.. but from now on.. Iâm leaving all the explaining sh*t to YOU. Really outstanding command of the very technical bits as well as the various historical timelines of multiple products, and a presentation style that never crosses the annoying line or bumps up against the boring barrier, yet still achieves the goal of explaining and effectively teaching us exactly why the M1 is big news and possibly just the beginning.
Iâm not qualified to offer you any congratulations for the achievement of creating this video, but Iâm smart enough to know it was masterfully done and is at once an educational tool to explain the new M1 as well as properly describe just how Apple ended up there.

I'm making the jump to Apple after having used Windows all my life and your videos have really helped me. Thank you for what you do!
I had the same thought after seeing what the M1 could do, especially with power efficiency.
Or you could wait a year and get an ARM-based PC without needing to learn a whole new OS and replace all of your existing software. Impatient much?

This was fantastic!! The kind of content that I love.
i have been following you on Twit and love your input and the breakdown what apple has been doing. i have followed you and look forward to future input you can provide. i will continue
Really really good review and explanation. I was waiting for someone to go over this whole process Apple went through, and to lay out the reasons for M1's performances. You did a great job!
And I can't wait for M1X or whatever its calledđ
Native performance of M1 is not a surprise to those who follow the industry, it was a matter of time. I've personally been waiting on this ever since Arm Cortex A9 was announced. It was obvious Apple has become the premier design shop for ARM ISA based cores. What is real news with the launch of these M1 macs is how well Rosetta 2 works. Anyway, just my $0,02
Rosetta2 makes sense in hindsight as well, given they had time and control of the IP.
This was one of the best explainer videos Iâve ever seen on CZcams.
and mark cerny explaining the ps5 chip, but not everyone understand if they keep thinking about more ram, more cores, more clock speeds it's all that matters.
This can only be beated by the âIt just worksâ of Steve Jobs.
That is exactly the kind of explanations we need, in depth analysis. Years ago Guy Kawasaki was doing that kind of work ( in Macworld) great references.

Let me guess, you did an ifixit repair, couldnât get the components back into the case and had to resort to duct tape, and itâs literally falling apart. Been there, done that!
Excellent video.
Knowing the time it takes to develop such processor technology, the next Macs are already known by Apple. Itâs just a matter of building manufacturing operation and start shipping new Macs, especially when Apple announced the end of the transition in 2 coming years. It doesnât give you much time to explore new path but it give enough time to developers to re-compile their application to run natively on Silicon.
Only Apple is able to manage smoothly its 3nd CPU transitions (68'000 -> PowerPC -> Intel -> Apple Silicon) with minimum user impact, a quiet remarkable achievement.
Apple like few others understand that they need to kill their own products to leave space for the next generations. A lot of companies have disappeared because they didn't want to remove/change their flagship products.
I would not feel comfortable working at Intel. Looking left, they see AMD and looking right itâs Apple. The only escape path is to catch up competitors te sooner the better.
We are witnessing a new technological approach to consumer computing, what it so called a breakthrough !

Exactly, I've talked crap on apple pricing for years because it has always been equal or inferior, because they pushed the small form factor. But as soon as I understood what this thing was I ordered an M1 MBP. This is big, and I see this device getting a ton of improvements through software in the next few years.

Hello Mr Rene! New subscriber here! i have a question about the new M1 macs. To you wich one its best & budget option for UX, graphic & motion design (after effects Illustrator sketch ). Greetings from Argentina! i love your channel!
Brilliantly organized and illustrated presentation! Thank you! M1 is my next favorite friend.
SOMEONE: Innovation leads to a healthy competition
ANOTHER: Unless the company monopolizes it.
Omg, I am a die-hard Windows fan, I am seriously considering throwing my laptop and getting my hand on one of these M1 thingy
My advice is keep your current laptop, and get the M1 MacBook. That way youâve got options!
You may want to wait and see what other manufacturers come up with. ARM laptops are nothing new - there have been ones running Chromium or Windows on the market for years already. I'm not sure if this is just Apple hype or if they've actually made some huge improvements but if it's the latter, others can do the same.

Great video as always! How many Thunderbolt buses M1 Macs have ? Thank you.
Iâll be watching this many times. Apple has begun a revolution just like they did with iPhone! It will be cool to observe it from a more mature perspective this time around. Thank you Rene for the amazing content. I appreciate all you are doing!!!
I believe that the âmobile phoneâ industry thought iPhone was trying to enter the industry when in reality they were creating a new one. Thatâs what happened. I believe we are seeing the same here. PC vs ..... doesnât matter when Apple has decided to take tech in a different direction. Apple wonât be interested in competing with âPCâ. They only care about building a new industry. What that is and will look like is what Iâm looking forward to watch unfold. So I guess what Iâm saying is PC isnât even in the same business as Apple moving forward, so why even include them in the conversation. Yes there will be a transition period but eventually everyone else will be playing catch up in a new look tech industry!
i5? it can even compete head to head with the i7
Need some advice... I am thinking of upgrading to the mac mini 16gb m1 and replace my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) , 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5, 24 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. Should I do it?
M1 Mac mini (16Gb/512Gb) is an amazing small machine. Just created in Python + MySQL test, basically what it does, it compares 2 tables of data, one has 18.5K records (23 columns), another 10M records (11 columns) and updates record set with 18.5K (saves result). Meaning we have 18.5K x 10M record comparisons (each comparison 10 x 20 fields) and 18.5K MySQL updates to perform. M1 Mac mini did this job in 27h (that is around 1.9M comparisons + MySQL updates per second) I got this result, using all the M1 8 cores, tried it also for short time on 1 core (140h) and on 4 performance cores (36h). Also tried the same job on my 2020 iMac 5K i7-10700K/64Gb RAM. Results was as follows: 1 core - 170h, 8 cores - 26.5h and 16 threads - 27h. iMac hit cpu 105W usage in 8 core test in first seconds and fans was blowing full speed. I run test for 30min to get good speed estimate only, fan noise was unbearable. So M1 in real life multicore performance is on par with Intel i7-10700K performance wise, but with the 1/10th of energy consumed. Not to mention, M1 was completely silent all the 27h test was running.
I am not sure why there is such "clan" of Android vs iOS , PC vs MAC. As Rene says, you use what works for you, buy the best that you can at the time of purchase. I have switched to iOS after being a life time user of Android. I switched to Pixels cos I was done with Samsung's BS software and mediocre hardware given in Asia. Pixel served well software wise but hardware wise it's a piece of crap. Now, I have been on iOS, do I feel the difference? Yes. But do I really miss the stupidity of changing launchers? Absolutely not. Is iOS same as Android? No. But I can see it's much much polished as compared to Android(my last version was 10) .
On the computer side, I am typing this on a Windows (Dell) pc. I use Linux for work. But I am keenly monitoring what Apple is doing for chips. I have seen all the reviews of Intel based laptops and one thing is consistent in all of them- intel's lackluster attitude. AMD is pushing things, Apple is pushing things. Intel, on the other hand is doing nothing. I did mention in some other comment-which other laptop company has even claimed to offer 20hours of battery time, let alone providing it? Apple has delivered it. Lots of people are bummed on same design. What did you expect in Gen 1 of the SOCs ? About Linus and others who just rejected M1 right away, they have their own reasons for that probably-business is the prime reason. If you have spent a life time disliking Apple and it turned out well for your business, you won't go and start praising it now cos than youwill lose your followers/promoters/sponsors. Apple has , if nothing else, disrupted the market-yet again. It's good for the entire industry. Now Intel and AMD has to deliver. Just like iPhone. Now people say that Samsung is most innovative. They have probably forgotten that for so many years, all what SS did was to copy Apple shamelessly and so did OnePlus and many more. These so called fold innovations didn't occur before iPhone's first release. Call it a cult following phenomenon or whatever- you can't make people follow you unless you have nothing substantional to offer. It's exciting times for the desktop consumer market. If we can't do anything to praise the M1 , let's just be happy and hopeful that this move of Apple will make our Linux/Windows machines better.
You make good points, but Apple has a strategy of going wide and covering all aspect of consumer tech with their products and services. If you're part of the ecosystem it's great, but it's also pricey. There is no middle ground with Apple, they have repeatedly shown that they expect that consumers will hop onto their next newest product within 2-3 years. The software and hardware integration bars you from tinkering with your product. You aren't meant to fix it, you're meant to buy the newer generation.
So you're either all Apple, or it doesn't quite work for you. I know plenty of people that stopped buying Apple, cause they cannot keep up with that. mostly gen Z/millennial that realised they cannot afford it without parental subsidies. Apple has a demographic of trendy professionals that they cater to and make great money of, but plenty of consumers will settle for less polished, but more affordable products.
I appreciate the innovation and they are probably the best run company on the planet, but there's an inherent elitism to Apple's products that people dislike.
It's amazing to see how Steve Jobs' long term plan on custom SoC have been propelling Apple even after almost a decade after he passed. 5nm is crazy small... bought some TSMC stocks while I'm at it lol. I hope countries are run that way... especially US...
A company is a dictatorship, not a democracy. You could like a dictatorship, but I doubt it.
@@RamsesBic yeah good point, that is true, but it almost became a dictatorship... almost, just kidding :P But Jobs is for sure a good dictator :P
@@hh83917 Yes. A good dictator/King can accomplish a lot more and do it faster than a democracy, but the problem is whoever follows him is unlikely to be as good, and much more likely to be much worse.
@@RamsesBic Actually, it depends on the company. Shareholders have a lot of control over companies, sometimes too much. The best companies listen to their customers and anticipate their needs. This is how Apple has succeeded. Jobs was not motivated by money, he wanted to create tools that would empower humanity.
@@blackrockcity I agree completely, but we were talking about leading countries by an enlightened despot. That can't be done in the same way as with companies. Because it only works if the leader is exceptional - which is too rare to count on.
Shareholders have power only if united or when a handfull shareholders have a majority of the shares. Then they are the "despot". Compare that to princes holding a veto power over a king. Polen tried that - not good.
I love your in depth apple silicon analysis's. That's your best videos
thank you for all the insights, and that expos hat is tough!!!
M1, an entry transitional chip with a whole different architecture, is already going head-to-head with the middle to high tier traditional chipsets out there. LOL and people are still downplaying it? smh
Not for long... ;-)
It's clearly not an "entry" chip. The video literally shows you the decade-long evolution of this tech. Also, we're talking about Apple, a company that has so much cash they don't know where to put it. It's impressive stuff and I can't wait to see where it goes in the next few years, but not like it came out of nowhere.
Imagine the next silicon macs they will be SOOOO FAST
Yes, and donât forget developers will be used to developing and optimizing for Mx arch chip it would be exponentially fast!!
Yes it is now! I donât even have to imagine now
@@NitheshVG734 I know
Do you think no fan in M1 macbook air would be an issue down the line for 3d modelers (using blender) or editing videos on imovies?
Very informative. Loved the vid
Me: Rene Ritchie isnât a Mossberg tier Apple journalist
Rene Ritchie: *releases this video*
Me: Fu-
Mossberg M1 edition
@@kenthinson2507 faster and more efficient than the Intel Walt.
@@kriscamp608 Except it isn't. The benchmarks were wrong, due to the difference in how the M1 and x86 chips work under single-core load.
Basically, the M1 beat both the current generation Intel and AMD cpus at ~50% of their potential capability.
so whoâs right, Rene?
M1 is faster? ... or is looneyburgerâs post correct, and this is more Apple hype?
Someone: âwhoâs your favourite comedian?â
Me: âRene Ritchie, itâs complicated.â
Complicated but true...
Very nice vid ! A lot of usefull information here, for me... I'm just a casual Mac user but i have been using Mac Minis for the last 10 years and, discovering all this info, i'll probably get a new M1 Mac Mini soon (i had planned to buy a new one and i'm SOOO happy i have not replaced my current model đ - for the specs i was going for with the last Intel version, it would have cost me twice what i'm going to pay now...).
Rene I would love to get your opinion on one very important factor for me personally. I think we can agree that heat eventually affects everything inside a computer including the processor. So, in your opinion will the MacBook Pro m1 last longer than the MacBook Air m1 based on the fact that the Pro has a fan?
+1 for the Expos cap
+1 !
Did the T in the T chip stand for Temporary?
It clearly refers to T-SERIES, the undisputed supreme leader of CZcams.
I like the Montreal Expo cap! Great content too! đ
Such a great video . Thank you
I donât think the concerns are regarding the hardware but the compatibility
That is always the case with new hardware. I usually keep my old machine running the apps that are not yet convered, and delete them off it as new versions come on line. At some point I retire the old machine - but that is fine since I have the space and don't need them too mobile.
Whoa!!.... Steve Jobs' insistence on going with SOCs is still a dramatic influence on Apple design
I love your videos, but this must be the most informative and interesting one, yet. Thanks!
