How Apple is making the chips that power its computers – and why its Macs are turning green

New silicon is making Macs faster – but could also help cut down their energy use

In 2020, Apple made an announcement that was no less shocking for the fact that many had predicted it would arrive. It was going to design its own chips, it said, and move away from the Intel processors that had powered its computers for 15 years.

The announcement was significant but at that point seemed inevitable: the Apple-designed chips that had been used in the iPhones for years at that point had started to rival and in some cases outpace the Intel ones in its computers. The first chip was called the M1, and took the same efficiency and power that marked out the iPhone’s silicon and made it large enough to power a whole computer.

i don't see it... What's the shocking part ? Was anyone shocked ???

Many already knew that the day would "arrive" when Apple made its own chips for the PCs (as well) ?

Perhaps the same people who were shocked
when Apple moved to Intel chips,
shortly after the Second Coming of the Steve.

How time flies....
