Get $25 off your cell phone bill at http://rene.ting.com ! We’re only at the very early stages for the Mac. We’re at the ultra-low power tip of the proverbial silicon iceberg. The M1 is the first in a series that’ll include more massively multicore versions of the current 11th generation architecture and even more impressive versions with next-generation, 12th generation and beyond architecture. Chips like M1X and M2, or whatever Apple ends up calling them. And unlike Intel, Apple doesn’t provi...
