The future of the Mac is here. And I'm super excited. The new computers are, well, just new computers. But the chip inside is where the fun stuff is at. A complete SOC, including up to 16GB RAM, storage controllers (and everything else the T2 did), along with a bunch of microprocessors and bus-bits.

8-core CPU (4 high-performance, 4 efficiency), including the fastest single-thread core available;
8-core GPU
16-core Neural Engine
Power efficiency like nothing else
Fan or fan-less (fans will contribute to higher sustained workloads and may also allow for higher clock speeds)

Seriously, this is a neat, little chip!

Me so happy!

There will obviously be a transition phase where the M1's maximum RAM is limited to 16GB.
