Apple M1 chips offer up to 3X better power efficiency
Vertical integration of software & hardware
Similar performance as Intel's best chips
Better battery life in mobile devices
Think excimer laser scanning on first surface highly precise computer controlled actuation scanning mirror optics without lens, giving spectral feature precision down to chipset features of 3nm- approaching the electron gate leakage field of silicon semiconductor materials & required GaN or gallium nitride based semiconductors or similar high K (dielectric strength or insulating superiority materials) with better electrical insulating properties that typical silicon based materials used in traditional & current integrate circuits made in large chip fabs by TSMC using ASML hardware, on equipment made by Nikon & Cannon & Intel - using designs from fabless companies that develop their own chipset designs & architectures like Apple with the existing M1 lineup & upcoming M2 & M3 & M4 & M5 silicon // designs already in the works - during the ongoing chipset shortage happening right now - the same things that caused the graphics card shortage to form during the early days of COVID19
Signal processing at the core of how the human brain makes sense of sensory input signals from the eyes & ears & nasal bulb & tongue & fingertip touch sense // human also have a unique consciousness that has amazing predictive abilities & deep memory based analytics to integrate past experiences into the current cognitive framework being executed in real time as people are actively thinking & responding, making choices with their free will & agencies as humans on Earth.
Information technology reflective of the magic happening behind our eyes & not only built on the shoulders of giants, hero's from the history of science & technology, but also something for everyone- most of Earth's people have a smartphone now, including poor people in developing countries & unemployed school children, homeless people - android phones available for under $100 new, though they will have lower performance older chipsets & lower quality cheaper screens - sometimes though the cheap ones have 90% of the performance of the flagship phones in most regards // As time goes on the pinnacle features like image sensor shift in the iPhone 13 Max will make it to the entry level iPhone SE 2024 version or similar // the Current iPhone SE2 was released 2020 & then enhanced with A15 & better battery & sub 6GHz 5G & thicker stronger glass front & back, causing a $30 price bump from $399 to $429 base price / you can pay more for more storage capacity on the SOC SSD storage 64GB base, then 128GB or 256GB for a small price premium // I use the 2020 iPhone SE2 in 128GB spec as my daily & Apple Watch SE on my right wrist. An inherited Galaxy Gear S3 Frontier adorns my left wrist, in low power mode, running on the aftermarket replacement battery I just installed ( see videos of this via hyperlinks bellow)
or the longer version
Its amazing what they can fit in terms of circuitry inside Apple AirPods 3rd Gen or the latest Apple Watch 7 or the iPhone 13 Max & upcoming iPhone 14 running iOS 16. Smashing LTE running on small capacity lithium ion batteries into these portable consumer electronics a feat of modern marvel engineering excellence worthy of admiration & will be looked back upon by future generations with a warm glow knowing that their 7G terabit speed mobile on lithographically fabricated in a vending machine smart devices / made of recycled e-waste element recovery in the machine - where you can put your old model into the smart ion recovery recycling of e-waste port & then the machine using ion capture & electricity from its top mounted solar PV array & internal energy storage- will molecularly disassembly the electronic into its elemental components then using magnetic fields & deep UV lithography will produce something that looks like a piece of thick plastic or glass, that contains the OLED display, touch layer & mainboard SOC power controller & energy storage - A time when people can upgrade their brain with a brain computer assist device installed by a surgeon into their skull, with wetware living bus interface that automatically integrates into the human brain & spinal fluid & glial cells & neurons with a non-toxic biocompatible polymer biopolymers flexible electrode array for bidirectional exchange of information between the compute module in the skull & the human brain. Its going to be an amazing high technology future!
Consider the time sensitive initial investment into a chip fab, when that note currently state of the art & where its production output able to command a price premium from chips made therein sold to end users & integrators & device makers OEM & ODM respectively. Legacy nodes on mature hardware where the chip use case less power efficient & where longer chip life & temperature extreme tolerance more desirable - in automotive modules for example- where the car consumer expects to hardware to last 200,000 miles or 20+ years of nearly daily use cycling. In sharp contrast where a desktop expected to last 10 years, a tablet 5, a smartphone 3 & smartwatch or earbuds 2 years *before LiPo battery fade* sets in reducing runtime per charge significantly - or where thermal loads on smartphones used by UBER & LIFT drivers 100% charge will running graphics intensive mapping & ride hailing apps simultaneously along with social networking on Twitter & Facebook or similar // heavy duty industrial or commercial always hot always on 100% overcharged constantly smartphones typically burn up to a EOL or end of life state of non working e-waste within 6-18 months/ even with heat pipes & vapor chamber heat pipes moving heat from the SOC to the screen glass or case or frame of the smartphone // with is often wrapped in an insulating polymer drop protection case & with an added thermal mass screen glass protector // made of plastic or glass // they can get hot too, hot enough to cook the SOC or mainboard logic chips / easily hot enough to damage the lithium polymer battery so common in portable consumer electronics today in the 2022 era //
