Beginning in earnest in 2008 with the acquisition of PA Semiconductor, Apple has been working its way towards unraveling the features and capabilities of its devices from the product roadmaps of processor manufacturers. These results are astounding, but they’re the product of that long early game that Apple has played with the A-series processors. I personally tested the 13” M1 MacBook Pro and after extensive testing, it’s clear that this machine eclipses some of the most powerful Mac portables ever made in performance while simultaneously delivering 2x-3x the battery life at a minimum.
These machines are capable, assured and powerful, but their greatest advancements come in the performance per watt category. And it’s about to be endgame for Intel.Īpple has introduced three machines that use its new M1 system on a chip, based on over a decade’s worth of work designing its own processing units based on the ARM instruction set. This is where Apple is in the game of power being played by the chip industry. The most fun part, for me, has always been the late mid-game where you’re in full control of your powers and skills and you’ve got resources to burn - where you execute on your master plan before the endgame gets hairy. Then you have mid-game where you’re executing and gathering resources. You have the early game where you’re learning the ropes, understanding systems. Survival and strategy games are often played in stages.
