The CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine are each designed for different types of machine learning workloads - and the ML performance controller distributes ML tasks to the right places to maximize performance. Optimized for machine learning The entire M1 chip is engineered for machine learning. Neural Engine The dedicated 16-core Neural Engine in the M1 chip can execute up to a staggering 11 trillion operations per second, powering workflows you couldn’t imagine before - like enabling the djay Pro AI app to isolate instrumentals and vocals of any song in real time. And that data is processed on device to protect your privacy - all at lightning speed. Machine learning lets apps build and apply models based on massive amounts of data - to do things like identify friends and family in photos and videos, interpret natural language for dictation, and even analyze audio to recognize laughter, applause, and more. The magic of machine learning The machine learning technologies in the M1 chip open up a world of possibilities for Mac apps.

These e-cores are the most efficient place to run lightweight tasks, allowing the performance cores to tackle the most demanding workloads. And create stunning images in Adobe Lightroom with unprecedented speed and responsiveness.įour efficiency cores Four efficiency cores deliver outstanding performance for everyday tasks using just a tenth of the power. Record, mix, and master professional-quality music in Logic Pro with scores of tracks, plug-ins, and virtual instruments. Compile in Xcode in significantly less time. This results in a quantum leap in performance - even while drawing much less power.įour performance cores Our high-performance core is the world’s fastest CPU core when it comes to low-power silicon 4 - and M1 has four of them combining their efforts for a massive boost in performance. 8-core CPU The 8-core CPU in M1 combines four performance cores and four efficiency cores to deliver incredible CPU performance per watt 3 for both single-threaded and multithreaded tasks.
