The performance cores ensure that the device can stay powerful and utilise a long-lasting battery, while the efficiency cores ensure that it still being portable enough to go into a tablet or a laptop. The M1 chipset has 8 CPU cores in total, featuring 4 performance cores (P-cores) and 4 efficiency cores (E-cores).
The M2 chips are being designed for use in Macs and iPads, and it’s believed that they will be treated as the beefed-up version of the M1 chipset, giving consumers the option for a more powerful chip without needing to buy an overly powerful device. However, the M2 chip is also now on the market, and while it is more powerful than the M1, it can’t compete with the M1 Pro or M1 Max chipsets. Generally, the M1 chips are best used in devices that need a basic productivity performance, while the more advanced chips – like the M1 Pro, M1 Max and M1 Ultra – are saved for more powerful machines that need a lot more horsepower, such as the 16-inch MacBook Pro and the Mac Studio. The iPad Air 2022 also boasts the M1 processor, which Apple claims provides a 60% CPU performance boost on the A14 Bionic, which was featured in the last-gen iPad Air. The Apple M1 chip is available in multiple Apple products, including the MacBook Air, aforementioned 13-inch MacBook Pro 2021, Mac Mini, iMac 2021 and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2021.
