Apple is well known for making big splashy announcements whenever it unveils a game-changing piece of new tech like the iPod, or iPad. Strangely, last year the Cupertino giant made an announcement every bit as revolutionary, but one which largely escaped notice by the general public.
The announcement, made at the firm’s annual Worldwide Developer Conference, confirmed Apple would start designing and manufacturing its own chips for Mac computers. To be clear, it’s not just tech geeks and tiresome Apple fanboys who need to be aware of what the announcement means, and what its implications are. So today we’re donning our black turtleneck and addressing a hushed auditorium to explain why Apple is making its own chips.
For several years now, Apple has been sourcing its CPUs from household-name chip giant Intel. This special relationship between Apple and Intel started back in 2006, after Apple’s previously favoured IBM-Motorola chips were written off as inadequate.
Why Apple Is Making Its Own Chips

You are grossly underestimating intel. They have stretched their 14nm architecture to death. Imagine what happens when they make a leap directly to make a 7nm processor.
Some other points not mentioned: - They don’t have to wait for Intel to develop new chips - They have complete control over both hardware and software (better integration) - Bigger profit margins This is honestly the biggest evolution of tech in years and nobody apart from tech geeks seems to be recognising it.
It further makes Macs a closed system but all macOS apps optimized for the new architecture are going to run so smoothly and only Apple can get away with forcing developers to adapt
@@centyfano I think the second point might have been touched upon.
Yes mate the 2nd point was mentioned in the video
Unfortunately people who dislike Apple without even owning one of their devices, will praise intel or amd when they come up with their new "innovative" arm chips.
To the average person, they are oblivious to the large evolutions in tech. When I try to explain such important evolutions as server virtualization (VMware and HyperV) most people's eyes glaze over. The same thing holds true when it comes to people's perception of Microsoft. Most people see Microsoft as a desktop operating system and the MS Office suite not realizing that those technologies represent only a fraction of their overall business. Azure is unknown to most along with MS Server 2019.
Your videos are so brilliant. Makes things very easy to understand, and the script matches so well with the video! This channel is going to continue growing for a long time

Yes software developer should rush to fulfill their obligations to m1 chip otherwise other developer will fill the shoe
Well the profit cut for developers is bigger on non Apple machines. If many developers say no to apple Then Apple has a huge problem. I suggest Apple change their profit cut for developers if they dont wanna lose some of Them
@@morrigan2833 What? They have lowest cut (15% for small developers, not talking about giants earning millions out of App Store). They do everything for developers, this 15% (30% before) is a fair price.
@@MehOccor 1st year its 30% but yeah after its 15%.
@@morrigan2833 It's a relatively fresh change. from Jan 1st, small developers (app revenue below 1 million $) get 15% cut, if they earned more in 2020, then they still have the 30% cut. If they earn less in 2021, they can re-qualify for 15% cut again, based on their yearly earnings. Apple Ecosystem is the best place for developer imo, especially after M1.
M1 chip = better Apple ecosystem
More like better device.
I just upgraded my computer, from a LapTop I'd been rocking for nearly 5 years to a new (& my 1st ever) Mac Computer. I ended up choosing the M1 Mac Mini, to be as different from my last computer as possible & also because my ol'Laptop served me so well I didn't just want to change it with a similar device, I wanted it to be a whole new learning experience. I am absolutely blown away by the M1 Mac Minis performance & I am hoping to be making a Tech&Science initial review video for it this coming weekend 😃
Great content! This video made me to subscribe.
This is the crown jewel piece apple needed and have now finally conquered. The next 2 years will be transition phase but after that Apple will have power in laptops that no one can compete on because of optimisation, fanless powerful laptops with extreme battery life and super lightweight as the motherboard is smaller and will be cheaper helping Apple to price its future laptops at a lower point. This holds well for the future of Apple.
The only true thing you mentioned is "lightweight", and I'm not entirely sure about it
This would not of been possible without competition
@@user-cc32vcg811 Soooo you're blind?
@Commando Jessica well if macbook air m1 perform better than i7 macbook pro, then it's cheaper
@Commando Jessica No, they WILL lower the price at some point. Why do you think they have an iPad model that yo can buy brand new off of an APple Store for $329 starting price? They want students to use iPads instead of Chromebooks, and with this move, they WILL want people to use Macbooks instead of Windows laptops.
Super informative ❤️😊
Nice visuals, content, narration and soundtrack. Where can I get the soundtrack?
2:00 you missed on the memory speed previously memory was slow; CISC made sense and won in practice over an equivalent RISC chip. Apple made M1 as a fast (and simpler) RISC chip paired with fast memory on a single die (and, moreover, there's a big.little architecture)
thank you a lot fo information
Excellent and clear, great video.
Sadly the side effect of the new chips is that “hack”intosh is now fully dead
Never been a fan of Hackintosh. Tried once, but ended up paying more for repairs that buy my own Mac machine
@@nicorivera25 yea, there is no point, there is quite a bit of effort involved in making a hackintosh
It's nice to have different competition in our lives, also it's great to acknowledge brands such as Apple creating their own technologies/CPUs/chips, I support such intention's. By creating their own unique chips/CPUs/products they're good example others & other companies or institutions and may exceed other firm's products/service's standard's cohesively. Thanks for the educational video!. 🌸😃🙃...
Very informative
Modern CISC designs are only CISC to the user, they're all pretty much RISC internally. The instruction decoder breaks the "complex" instructions into smaller RISC-like uops and those are then executed through the pipelines. ARM designs can be faster because they're simpler and have fewer abstractions layers, fixed length instructions are, for example, much easier to decode when you need to decode hundreds of them while predicting branches.
M1 chip in MacBook Air, Pro, and mini. Next year M1 in imac. I just bought a M1 Mac mini. It is as fast as my phone. No waiting to boot up, searching is instant, no waiting. I hated using my computer as it was so slow vs iPad and phone. That new chip is a game changer.
Every video is awesome. And i am the regular watcher... Big fan of your every content. Its really helpful as a engineering student. But i request to you... there have many friend, they are not Professional English speaking people as like as me. So if you keep little bit slow and more clear of your content it must be helpful.

ARM. Like those fleshy meat sticks called "limbs" at the end of your shoulder
Yeah, as soon as I heard that ridiculous rendering of ARM I knew the people behind this video didn't have a clue.
Your channel is Soo good
Just to be clear, RISC doesn't mean a smaller instruction set than CISC! For example, the current ARM ISA has over 200 instructions in it, far more than the original 8086! What's been reduced is the complexity of each individual instruction. The most notable simplification is that with the exception of instructions that explicitly load and store data to/from memory, RISC instructions can only operate on registers. For example, a CISC ISA might have an ADD instruction that can add values in registers, in memory, through a pointer, etc, depending on the addressing mode, whereas the equivalent ADD instruction in a RISC ISA doesn't have any addressing modes, and will only allow you to add the contents of one register to another. The data has to be loaded into the registers from wherever they are in memory with LOAD instructions. The CISC version also has to do this, but the LOAD is implicit rather than explicit in the RISC case. This, along with other features such as a fixed-length instruction word vastly simplify instruction decode, meaning instruction decoding can be faster. It also means that instructions that don't manipulate memory can (usually) execute in a single clock cycle on RISC architectures, whereas the execution time of a given instruction in a CISC architecture can vary depending on where the data being processed is coming from.
All CPU’s today are RISC at the core level including Intel and AMD. The x64 and x86 instructions are automatically translated to micro code (which is of RISC type) which is then run in both Intel and AMD CPUs. This has been the case for at least the last decade. IBM mainframe instructions are likewise converted to RISC micro code before execution. I have a quad core Intel CPU that takes a maximum of 15 watts where a “normal” desktop CPU would be 100 watts. Intel chips have and still power many portable and battery powered devices. ARM CPU’s do use less power on average than most Intel CPU’s but ARM chips have also been much less powerful until just recently. Intel chips didn’t need to be less power hungry until relatively recently as performance was stressed by Intel customers much more. The biggest problem with the M1 is that it is proprietary to Apple in it’s entirety (ARM isn’t proprietary but the custom group of hardware in the M1 definitely is). Apple has shown since the 1970’s that they can’t be trusted to not gouge customers whenever they have a perceived monopoly. You historically paid a premium price for any Apple hardware, for relatively slow or inferior product. (I only say this based on my personal experience spanning over 40 years as a professional software micro computer specialist.) The operating system in the Mac computers wasn’t created by Apple (it is an adaptation of a version of Unix. That might be good or bad depending on your needs). The M1 is a spectacular achievement but the jury is out on what that means to computer sales now and in the near future.
Now with the M1 Chip for all new upcoming Devices, Apple will be in total control. When they decided, somewhere in the future, that a Device should go slower after a certain time to boost the sales of newer a newer model, they can and will do it. The not so far Past has shown that behavior.
@@BranTarik Some merit to your statement but I just don’t think Apple will be that successful (at taking a greater share in the desktop market with the M1 CPU). I personally have a couple of Apple tablets, iPhones and an Apple TV box. I have used mostly non Apple computers over the last 40 years but the proprietary manner Apple emits is something that really turns me off as well. They sell you a device and then insist only they can say what it is used for! This should be illegal, IMO. Apple will get a share but this chip doesn’t mean dominance.
We bought a Mac mini to try out ahead of a refresh or start computers. It works pretty well even with the Rosetta emulator for most apps. The biggest issue is that any Java based IDE app we use runs like a dog or falls over. I am assuming the two emulators don’t play nice. Overall it’s a good computer for the money for our non-developer staff members.
Hey everyone! :D I hope you stay safe and have a nice day, God bless you!
2:00 "that's why big powerful pcs always have noisy fans" * proceeds to show a intel stock cooler *
Who on earth says A - R - M these days
The number of subscribers on this channel has grown so quickly.
put simply, Intel went on lock-down and Apple's contract with them prevents them from dancing publicly with AMD.
Is the x86 emulation being done in hardware or software or combo of both?
The x86 emulation is totally software through Rosetta2. The ARM architecture in NOT compatible with x86. Given that, virtually all performance benchmarks I have seen show little or no noticeable performance loss when running Mac x86 software through Rosetta2 on an M1 (ARM) Mac. And what native ARM software there is at this point, blows the doors off of the comparable x86 versions.
Will it pay to build a 2 nanometer transistor? Do they not start to leak energy when they are so small?
To me, the big part of this move, on top of the cost, control and performance gains that Apple has produced their own chips, is that Developers can write code that with minor tweaks to account for display size and input formats will work on both Mac and IOS devices. That places a HUGE established market to be exploited without having to write code totally differently for Mac and IOS. And the number of IOS devices is HUGE.
Great video but im unsure why you're not discussing the fact hat the new M1 macs are blowing all the geekbench scores, and windows software is running better through rosetta than on native systems. They're delivered
The old Apple Power PC chips were RISC. When they moved to Intel which were CISC, we had to go through the software transition and use Rosetta for apps that were not ready. This time, there have already been speed tests (shown here on KZhead) that demonstrate video rendering being faster even with Rosetta on M1 chips. RISC is what made iPhones possible and now such amazing devices.
Most mobile phones since the 1990s have used Arm CPUs
Cost efficiency?
What is the lowest nm limit before quantum tunneling becomes a problem? Just curious.
"...happening on Apple's watch..." Shows graphic of Apple Watches. Nice one. :-)
YT: Why Apple Started Making Its Own Chips Me: Cuz who gone whip they ass...
interesting perspective
Good overall but intels 10nm chips etc is more dense then other manufacturers 7nm.
The thought "How hard can it possibly be to do this myself?" has led to many mistakes. My do-it-yourself projects taught me this.
I mean they aren’t doing it themselves the chips are designed by apple not manufactured, ARM is the company the manufactures the chips they want to design. Probably in the later future Apple will manufacture their own chips and further advance and personalize their technology. In addition Apple has been designing chips for over 10 years it isn’t a new thing to them they are just now releasing it because they found it suffice. Don’t be fooled they have completely finished the M1 chips, are working currently on the M2 chips, and designing the M3 chips. Right now Apple is waiting for feedback and bugs fixes on the M1 chips because actual user response is always better then tested ones. Plus Apple is a trillion dollar company with Billions in the bank just for Research&Development, with the world’s best Computer Engineers and Software Developers on their team, and also has one of the best Marketing team in the planet.
great video
I remember reading plenty of articles about AMD and Intel racing for the 7nm. When after AMD got there first, all of a sudden Apple came out with a 5nm. I guess Apple is working in silent as usual.
5nm is NOT Apple, it’s TSMC
Developers will love it caz they need to develop one product and test it in the device's my guess is that in future people will start using iPad instead of computers I m talking about iPad with fully fledged photoshop, premier pro ,and after effects stuff This means there will be no more or hard to run pirate software.
The next apple integration project; to make "potato chips" to eat while using your apple device!
I’m very thankful that Apple released the M1 chip, now every CPU manufacturer will up their game and we the consumers would benefit from this competition
Your videos are getting day by day
I got an M1 MacBook Pro the day after release and it’s been superb so far, very very pleased with it, definitely the best computer I’ve ever owned.
I’m still contemplating buying one, is yours still working well ? Also have you tried the M1 Pro or Ultra. I’m kind of waiting to see what the M2 brings along. I still use my iPhone 7 as a backup phone and it’s amazing how well the A10 chip has held up after 6 years. For just web browsing and watching KZhead videos it works amazingly well. The battery is pretty worn out but everything else is as snappy as the day I bought it
@@RobertSmith-le8wp my M1 MacBook Pro still works flawlessly, still as good as the day I bought it. I just hate the lack of ports. But if I were you I’d wait for the M2 considering the M1 is still in the old MacBook design.
So which one will use quantum computing first
The success of ARM architecture on the phone world, makes Apple thinking seriousely to integer that on computers, maybe the mastery control for the full nano integration process "all in one chip" is the first factor to make this posssible now at our present days, and re-make a perfect adaptable Operating System software as additional key by Apple.
i think ARM chip is outsourced to TSMC as well. TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION
So why Intel have problems with 7 nm while others don't? Is it a matter of different technology?
I thought it was really chips (food) :)

@@noahg4369 Apple chips are far from being the most powerful. They are roughly on par with i9 chips, but only at a narrow range of tasks. This is why Apple must further limit the Mac ecosystem, because these microprocessor based chips are designed to perform a narrow set of tasks very efficiently. It's a perfect play for Apple, but other systems with worse processors can outperform M1 Macs in general tasks. These are far from the most powerful processors outside of mobile devices.
These chips will do amazing things.
"... when the chips are down." Not bad.

On May 11, 1934, a massive storm sends millions of tons of topsoil flying from across the parched Great Plains region of the United States as far east as New York, Boston and Atlanta. At the time the Great Plains were settled in the mid-1800s, the land was covered by prairie grass, which held moisture in the earth and kept most of the soil from blowing away even during dry spells. By the early 20th century, however, farmers had plowed under much of the grass to create fields. The U.S. entry into World War I in 1917 caused a great need for wheat, and farms began to push their fields to the limit, plowing under more and more grassland with the newly invented tractor. The plowing continued after the war, when the introduction of even more powerful gasoline tractors sped up the process. During the 1920s, wheat production increased by 300 percent, causing a glut in the market by 1931.

Was too late that nothing felt new to me
The ARM chip was originally invented and developed by Acorn Computers in Cambridge, England, back in the 1980's. So ARM stood for Acorn RISC Machine (an acronym wrapped in an acronym). Later, when Acorn was destroyed by asset-strippers, the ARM division was set up separately, so ARM now stands for Advanced RISC Machine. But before the destruction, Acorn had built a PC on the ARM, which became the Acorn Risc PC, and ran nine times as quick as a 386 machine. Even today a 233MHz Risc PC can outrun a 3GHz Intel/Windows PC. Such as a 7-second boot. It is rather ironic that an American company, Apple, will now be wrapping itself round a British chip, invented by company whose demise was in part due to Apple's success. (There are still original Risc PC's for sale from time to time on eBay and other sites). The ARM chip has become the most successful chip ever. It powers most smartphones, for example. ARM licenses its chips to other companies--such as, in this case, Apple.
why is windows 10 stuck in the stone age when MacOS has features like this 6:29 and task bar addons.
"older software won't work" is a completely false statement and should be retracted or altered to reflect the current situation regarding running x86 software on M1 chip devices.
