With the advent of the M1 processor, Apple is firmly on the way to gradually phase out Intel in the Mac product line. For the M1, there are already a lot of various running scores and tests, and some friends may have used related MacBook or iPad products.
Although the emergence of M1 directly impacted Intel’s revenue from Apple, it is generally believed that this is a strong counterattack from the ARM camp represented by Apple against the x86 CPU architecture, which is the largest CPU architecture. AMD has already seen this.
According to media reports, David McAfee, vice president of product management and marketing at AMD during the interview a few days ago, bluntly stated that our future product route will be extremely competitive in response to what Apple has done. Note that he doesn’t seem to care about what Intel does anymore, showing the terrifying industry influence of M1.
McAfee praised that Apple has adopted a new system approach to design chips. As you can see, single-threaded is very powerful, comparable to Zen 3. He also pointed out that the biggest innovation of the M1 processor is to pass on battery life optimization and energy efficiency in the mobile phone field to personal computers, which is also instructive for AMD.
