Advantages and disadvantages of apple M1 chip

Faster than Other Processing Chips


The M1 processor performance has been tested for speed in labs. All the advantages
of Apple M1 chip have been calculated and measured alongside its speed test. The
results are spectacular, and it has been proven that the new M1 chip is faster than all
the predecessor processing chips by Apple.

Absence of Thermal Throttling


The M1 chips are smooth, noiseless when compared to other processors. The M1 chip
fans stay put even during the high-performance activities. On the contrary

Power Efficient Processing Chips


The prime advantage of M1 chip is its extensive battery life. M1 chip processor can
offer the most powerful laptops that lead to better and more efficient battery life.

Reasonably Priced
Finally, Apple has come up with a product that is worth the price tag on it. Macs with M1
chips are available at the price of $1000, which is worth the power-efficient system it
provides in return.

Neural Network Processing Technology


One of the significant technologies that set the Apple M1 chips from other
processors is built-in machine learning – better known as NNP (Neural Network
Processing). 
Disadvantages of M1 Chip

GPUs Or Multiple Screens Displays are Not Supported


Gamers have always faced problems when using Macs, and the M1-based are no
different. It doesn't support an external GPU which means you will face a problem
using it for gaming. The same is the case for more high-definition professional
editing.

Glitches with Apps


Apple has revolutionized the whole technology game with the release of M1 chips.
For app developers, this means change. They will need to adapt to this new
advancement by changing and creating compatible software for the new M1
processor.
Apple's new M1 processor performance means that some apps will not run on the
new platforms.
Conclusion
M1 chip processor by Apple has some glitches but these can be tackled and
improved over time. The fact is that Apple’s M1 chip is the most powerful chip at
the moment.

 Apple’s M1 Pro and M1 Max meet the company’s requirements for a


multitasking, high-performance and power-efficient mid-to-high range
laptop. According to Counterpoint estimates, Apple Silicon is currently
powering 93% of Macs. As new chips are launched, this proportion will
continue to grow.
 Apple’s new Macs are intended to appeal to a wide range of customers,
including content creators, game designers, gamers and early adopters.
Apple’s next silicon upgrade is likely to include additional high-performance
CPU cores to improve multitasking, more GPU cores to improve the
performance of video editing and gaming, and AI training capability.

Benefits
 The M1 is an ARM processor, not an x86 processor.

 It integrates more components than an Intel CPU.

 The Apple M1 also integrates RAM in the same package.

 It features Rosetta 2 dynamic binary translation that allows it to run x86 software.

 The chip boasts eight CPU cores, in addition to the integrated GPU.

 It is manufactured using the 5-nanometer process and has 16 billion transistors.
