M1 Chip
Small chip. Giant leap.
8-core CPU Devours tasks. Sips battery.
The CPU on M1 isn’t just astonishingly fast — it balances high-performance cores with efficiency cores that crush everyday jobs while using far less energy. With that kind of processing power, MacBook Air can take on intensive tasks like professional-level video editing and action-packed gaming.
A 16-core Neural Engine capable of 11 trillion operations per second. Process that. 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. That’s not just brainpower — that’s the power of a full stack of ML technologies.
The power of macOS on M1.
macOS unlocks the potential of the M1 chip and transforms Mac with all-new ways to work and play. Connect, share, and create like never before using Messages. Explore the web on the streamlined Safari, the fastest browser in the world And work across Mac and your other Apple devices with Universal Control. macOS also includes industry-leading privacy features and best in class security.
The M1 chip and macOS work together to make the entire system snappier. MacBook Air wakes instantly from sleep. Everyday tasks from flipping through photos to browsing Safari are faster. And your hardest-working apps all have access to the power they need.
All your go-to apps run lightning fast in macOS — including Microsoft 365 and many of your favorite iOS apps. And with over 10,000 apps and plug-ins optimized for Apple silicon, your creative future is wide open.
