It is big news for fans around the globe. As Apple transitions from Intel CPUs to its very own ARM-based chipset, the performance, as well as power efficiency, will be improved for its future devices. all the fans as well as non-fans of Apple products can appreciate the quality of the company’s processors and also it will be a curious thing to see how an M1X might perform. M1 is already leading in benchmark scores and if M1X is better than M1, we might have ourselves a new showdown in 2021.
