How Apple Just Changed the Entire Industry (M1 Chip)

ColdFusion Merch:

A quick note - The A14 comparison vs Intel i9 was normalised for single core performance.

I remember you saying like 2 years ago, that Apple should include ARM processor, and now here we are, it happened

[misaalanshori]

I feel like every Processor manufacturers is just killing Intel right now

[brnbwild]

Though I retired from the semiconductor industry 20 years ago, I still follow the technology and when I first got my hands on an M1 white paper, I must admit I didn't believe Apple could pull it off. Kudos to the ASIC Engineers who did this...absolutely unbelievable!!!

[SS-qunn]

Very late to the party.
Only found this channel a month ago.
Such great work. I’ve almost finished all content and look forward to what’s coming next.
Amazing channel, describing amazing people and events.

[wepranaga]

I love how in the 80s. they're talking mad tech in the news/television.

[sdias]

This channel has been consistently at the top of tech news for such a long time ! Cheers!

[davidnewbaum]

The quality of this and other similar channels makes you wonder about the future of classic TV programs.

The M1 is colored black because it just came back from Intel’s funeral

9:28 - "Simplified CPU's, such as ARM, generally will do one single instruction per clock cycle. While desktop chips may use many cycles to complete one complex instruction. This means more power consumption, less efficiency, and more heat produced."

...No. Both types of CPUs mostly use simple instructions that take one clock cycle. However, desktop CPUs offer many extra instructions that the ARM does not. For an ARM (RISC) to perform equivalent complex tasks, it must string together long sequences of instructions. Not only that, but a desktop CPU is loaded with specialized hardware acceleration to make it's complex instructions execute even faster. This means the RISC requires far more clock cycles for complex tasks.

RISCs are successful because those complex instructions are rarely needed. Usually, CPUs just shovel data as fast as they can. And in that contest, a RISC wins easily.

[FUZxxl]

Fun fact: the number of instructions in the ARMv8 architecture (incl. ASIMD) is similar to that of the Intel 64 architecture including everything up to AVX2. It's not “bloat” from “too many instructions” that makes x86 CPUs harder to scale, but rather factors such as the more complex instruction encoding, intertia from Intel having ridden out the same microarchitecture since the PPro days, differences in the memory model, and better memory latency on tightly integrated SoCs vs. systems with discrete memory and GPU. Being able to design a whole system more or less from the ground up gave Apple the ability to sidestep many of the design constraints that hobble the existing Wintel ecosystem.

I can imagine the very tense high level meetings that are happening at Intel right now 😂

[sinewedbastion]

People, including me, went from passionately hating on Apple to seriously considering buying an Air or Pro M1, that's how much M1 changed the market

[DarksideJohnny]

I know of one difference in architecture between the early Motorola (used by Apple) and Intel was the Intel chip had to outsource the math function to an external chip, then wait for the answer. This was time consuming and generated extra heat.

The Motorola (Mac) chip had this function built-in. Just this one difference made the Mac graphics way better than Intel's.

I also heard that originally, IBM wanted to use the Motorola chip in their first PC release but Motorola couldn't manufacture enough chips to satisfy the order, but Intel could. Can you imagine how that would have changed history?

[SOF]

Its the future, I say this with confidence. Especially now we've got the M2 chip. I can't wait to see the day we get native chips from AMD and Intel which are ARM based, perhaps even custom chips direct from Microsoft and other companies who have also licensed from ARM.

[md.mostafakhan]

I bet "Intel's inside" is now on fire.

[daniel__]

TSMC also deserves some credit.
Without them the ARM and AMD chips couldn’t dominate as much.

[alex_lll]

Compatibility: to be fair, there are _some_ apps that have trouble running on M1. But their number is very limited and it's very specialized software (e.g. some images for docker)

[Eagervul]

I think it's important to explain why at 8:30 he says the chip was still running. It was running on the extremely low voltage introduced by the measuring device, it wasn't just running off of God's will.

Apple: *Launches M1*
Intel: Dead Inside
