The fifth anniversary of Apple silicon marks a significant milestone, with the M1 chip’s debut this month (November 10, 2020), kickstarting a transformative era for Macs. The anniversary has been noted by Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing Greg “Joz” Joswiak via X.
Hard to believe it’s been five years since Apple silicon transformed the Mac. The performance, battery life, new designs, amazing features, and user creativity it unlocked have been remarkable. The impact has been profound, and the Mac has never been better!
MacDailyNews Take: Apple has since released five generations of chips, with the M5 unveiled last month in the 14-inch MacBook Pro, showcasing dramatic improvements in CPU, GPU, and AI performance. The transition from hot, inefficient Intel chips to state-of-the-art Apple Silicon blessedly concluded in June 2023, when Apple discontinued the last Intel-handicapped Mac Pro, fully committing to its in-house chips. Mac sales have surged by nearly one-third over the past five years, averaging $33.7 billion annually, fueled by new designs and operating system advancements.
