Vratislav Holub Last year, Apple introduced the Apple Silicon project, which practically immediately managed to gain the attention of not only apple lovers, but also fans of competing brands. In practice, these are new chips for Apple computers that will replace processors from Intel. The Cupertino giant has promised an extreme increase in performance and better battery life since this change. There are currently 4 Macs on the market that rely on a common chip – the Apple M1. And as Apple promised, it happened.
Excellent battery life
In addition, a new interview with Apple's vice president of marketing, Bob Borchers, pointed to an interesting situation that took place in Apple's laboratories during the testing of the aforementioned M1 chip. Everything revolves around the battery life, which is also according to a serious website Tom's Guide absolutely amazing. For example, the MacBook Pro lasted 16 hours and 25 minutes on a single charge in their web browsing test, while the latest Intel model only lasted 10 hours and 21 minutes.

Therefore, Borchers shared one memory. When they tested the device itself and after a long time the battery indicator did not move at all, the vice president immediately became concerned that it was a mistake. But at this moment, the chief executive of Apple, Tim Cook, started to laugh out loud. He then added that this is phenomenal progress, as this is exactly how the new Mac should work. According to Borchers, the main success is Rosetta 2. The key to success was to deliver maximum performance together with excellent endurance even in the case of applications for Intel, which must be run through the Rosetta 2 environment. And that is exactly what was achieved.

Borchers concluded the whole thing with an extremely interesting thought. Macs with the M1 chip literally crush their competition with Windows (in the same price category) in terms of performance. However, it has one big thing but by. Because there is one area where (for now) the apple computer is simply a loser, while Windows is winning outright. Of course, we are talking about gaming or playing video games. According to the vice president, this could change very soon.
In the current situation, there is also quite a lot of talk about the arrival of a redesigned MacBook Pro, which will come in 14″ and 16″ versions. This model should be equipped with an M1X chip with even greater performance, while the graphics processor will see a noticeable improvement. Precisely because of this, it would theoretically be possible to play games without any problems. After all, even the current MacBook Air with M1, on which we tested several games ourselves, did not do badly, and the results were practically perfect.

Gaming is surprisingly cool on M1 chips. My only regret is that I bought a Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM, but I still ran Metro Exodus at higher details in fullHD and was above 30fps. Great.
What is the advantage of the studio that "it is possible to immediately determine whether in a particular case it is an Apple laptop or not"?
