Tech giant Apple has, as expected, unveiled its first computers powered by the Silicon M1, the proprietary processor that the company has developed.
It concerns a new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, and an upgrade of the Mac mini desktop.
With the ARM-based Silicon M1, Apple is saying goodbye to the Intel processors that have been the beating heart of every Mac computer that has rolled off the production line since 2006.
It is at least as important a transition as the transition from the PowerPC power source (the Mac main processor since 1994) to the Intel platform.
The difference between the PowerPC and Intel era is that Apple developed the new Silicon chip in-house. The tech giant is not ready for its test piece in that regard.
The so-called socs (system-on-a-chip) that power the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV also come from Apple’s own stable.
