Apple silicon

Today was event day for Apple, with the company announcing more details on its transition to Apple Silicon processors in the Mac. The company announced its new M1 processor, a new MacBook Air, a new MacBook Pro, and a new Mac mini during today’s event.

Apple kicked things off today with the introduction of its new M1 processor, its first Apple Silicon chip for the Mac lineup. Apple says the M1 processor delivers up to 3.5x faster CPU performance, up to 6x faster GPU performance, and up to 15x faster machine learning.

10 раз вище сильніше краще. Треба чекати нормальних бенчмарків.

The M1 processor also allows you to run three different types of applications on your Mac:

iPhone and iPad apps on the Mac through the Mac App Store
Rosetta 2 translation allows you to run apps made for Intel Macs on Apple Silicon, and sometimes apps perform better in Rosetta with M1 than they did with Intel, Apple says.
Universal apps are apps built for Apple Silicon and Intel processors and are downloadable from the Mac App Store or from the web.

Цікаво, коли портують різні IDE, python/nodejs/jvm і нативні пакети.
