Apple's ARM-based M1 chips power the brand new Mac line-up. The company had made a bunch of claims during the unveiling, like 3.5x faster CPU and 4x faster GPU performance, often against the "leading PCs" and "leading chips". So is it all worth the hype? And what makes the new M1 chips different from what they were offering earlier? We explain this and a lot more in this episode of Elemental.

Absolutely incredible video. I’m a chip design engineer and you did a good job explaining RISC vs CISC in laymen’s terms.

If developers only develop for the M1, they will develop for the phone and pads, as apple sells far fewer computers. This will be bad in the long run. any thought Apple would transition their Macs to phone and pad surrogates, but this is clever in that without setting a policy, they will let the market kill off computer oriented applications and transition to truncated versions.
