Description
The Apple M1 chip has a lot of power. It is not just a next step for Mac- it's another level entirely. The 8-core CPU on the M1 chip makes your MacBook Pro more powerful and capable than ever before, with up to 2.8x faster processing performance than its predecessor or an astonishing 16 billion transistors packed into this tiny little thing! In addition, the neural engine will give you 11x faster machine learning capabilities as well as 20 hours of battery life from one charge - making this your most popular professional notebook yet! Smaller chips have always been better but now we've taken that idea to a whole new level: introducing our first ever system on a chip designed specifically for Macs and here is where things really get exciting...
