Run powerful apps built for the Apple M1 chip. And your hardest‑working apps all have access to the power they need.

Everyday tasks from flipping through photos to browsing Safari are faster. The Apple M1 chip and macOS Big Sur work together to make the entire system snappier. It’s our most powerful software ever - running on our most advanced hardware yet. Industry-leading privacy features and best‑in‑class security. macOS Big Sur The power of macOS Big Sur on the Apple M1 chip.ĭeveloped to unlock the potential of the Apple M1 chip, macOS Big Sur transforms Mac with major performance benefits and so much more. That’s not just brain power - that’s the power of a full stack of ML technologies. Apps on MacBook Air can use machine learning (ML) to automatically retouch photos like a pro, make smart tools such as magic wands and audio filters more accurate at auto‑detection and so much more. Up to 9x faster. Even for a 16‑core Neural Engine, that’s a lot to process. But the 8‑core CPU on the Apple M1 chip isn‘t just up to 3.5x faster than the previous generation - it balances high-performance cores with efficiency cores that can still crush everyday jobs while using just a tenth of the power. With that kind of processing speed, MacBook Air can take on new extraordinarily intensive tasks like professional-quality editing and action-packed gaming. The Apple M1 chip has the fastest CPU we’ve ever made. With incredible performance, custom technologies and industry-leading power efficiency, 1 the Apple M1 chip is not just a next step for Mac - it’s another level entirely.

Packed with an astonishing 16 billion transistors, the Apple M1 system on chip (SoC) integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O and so much more onto a single tiny chip. Our first chip designed specifically for Mac. This much power has never been this ready to go. The longest battery life ever in a MacBook Air. Our most advanced Neural Engine for up to 9x faster machine learning. Our thinnest, lightest notebook, completely transformed by the Apple M1 chip.
