If you've ever wondered what's behind Apple's chip names like M3 Max or A17 Pro, you're not alone. In this video, I break down the confusion around Apple Silicon and make it easy for you to understand. I start by exploring the two main types of chips Apple uses – A-series in iPhones and M-series in Macs. Then, I dive into the different M-series chips like M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra, making sense of their progression. I'll also cover Apples latest chips including M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max. Learn the basics of chip generations and classes without getting overwhelmed. Discover why more cores don't always mean better performance and get practical advice on choosing the right chip for your needs. I also touch on memory (AKA RAM) and why claims of needing less than intel might not be true. Plus, I keep it focused on the essentials – the CPU and GPU – to help you make sense of Apple's chip lineup without too much tech jargon. If you're curious about Apple's chips and want to make an informed decision when choosing a device, this video is for you.
