Future computers will use newer versions of this architecture. Apple has promised all of its computers will transition to Apple-designed chips over the next year or so, but only the first ones will use the M1.
This first iteration of Apple-designed chips is called the “ M1.” And this is the most important point: The M1 represents the start of a new architecture. NOTE: Here are my thoughts on how to configure the new 24″ M1 iMac for video editing. But these new systems upend the established rules for how to configure a computer system for media editing.īecause I frequently give guidance on how to spec a computer, I wanted to find out the “new rules” when considering these systems. Most of us have heard of Apple’s transition from Intel CPUs to its own Apple silicon.
