It's really sad that there's currently no competition for Apple, because now they can rob people more than ever… With the M1, Apple no longer has any competition for whom they don't know why I'm saying this.
Will there soon be a processor on par with the M1? So also that the processor has the same consumption / performance ratio.
Will Huawei develop its own processor?
Of course there are still competitors.
Both Intel and AMD still offer processors. And nobody is forced to buy Apple devices.
Why should you get a MacBook with M1 in the first place? There are plenty of good laptops. The Apple M1 can't compete with a Ryzen xxxx G from the same price range
There really are processors that deliver as much performance and consume as little power as the M1?
Dear Binoft, sad
Apple's new M1 chip is a real beast and has put the old Intel Macs in the shade. On the part of AMD / Intel there are already equivalent processors, but these are on the one hand more expensive and only suitable for desktop PCs. If you look at the technology on which the chip is based, you will not find anything, as this is based on ARM and there are no ARM chips worth mentioning that can keep up with this, except perhaps the Apple in-house smartphone chips. In the future, more chips of this type will definitely come and, according to known leakers, a revised M1X or M2 will be installed in the next IMacs or normal Macs.
The only thing I don't like about ARM is that the RAM is in the chip and therefore you can't expand it.
5 nanometer construction, just not.
What?
That's right, but I believe this is possible externally with Thunderbolt 3, because graphics cards work too.
The M1 chip uses a 5-nanometer production process, similar to the latest A14 chip in the https://uk.pcmag.com/mobile-phones/129717/apple-iphone-12. Meanwhile, Intel's latest 11th-generation CPUs use a 10-nanometer production process, and Intel doesn't expect new chips based on 7-nanometer processes or lower https://uk.pcmag.com/news-analysis/127899/intel-sorry-but-our-7nm-chips-will-be-delayed-to-2022-2023 at the earliest. Intel said in a statement Tuesday that its CPUs "provide global customers the best experience in the areas they value most, as well as the most open platform for developers, both today and into the future." But the big disparity in process technologies does speak for itself. Computer chip rival AMD's latest desktop and mobile chips are on a 7-nanometer process.

The M1 processor is not the measure of all things!
As a pure Apple user, I have been saying that for years. There's too much hype and not enough serious coverage.
The M1 is only good if it runs in Apple's own hardware with Apple's MacOS. When everything is coordinated in the smallest detail, it is clear that everything is going well.
Imagine AMD builds its own PC, all parts come from its own development laboratory. You develop your own OS tailored to all of this. Then they can get everything out of the chip.
In addition, the M1 is only miles ahead in single core (depending on the situation). In the multicore he is overtaken by others quite quickly.
The multicore can be improved more easily. They'll soon be bringing out an X variant with more cores
But this is also one of the key points that make the M1 so efficient, the proximity of the CPU, GPU, RAM and NeuroCores is an advantage due to less "overhead".
