What SoC means is that the processor, security, memory, and I/O technologies have all been combined into a single system on a chip.

Before the arrival of the M1, Macs needed several chips in order to deliver all of the features that needed to be delivered to users. The M1 chip is the first chip designed specifically for Mac. So in order to assuage your fears-in the case that you’re an Apple user that’s not entirely sold on the M1- let’s take a detailed look at the new Mac mini and why Mac mini users should be very excited about the arrival of the M1 chip. The M1 chip will replace Intel processors not just in the Mac mini, but in 13-inch MacBooks as well.īut whenever something new and supposedly revolutionary enters the arena, users often tend to proceed with a bit of caution, especially when it comes to computers and especially for people who earn their livelihood using them on a daily basis. Namely, the popular little desktop computer will be outfitted with Apple’s new system-on-a-chip (SOC) technology, the MI chip, which is expected to take the Mac mini’s performance to new heights. While most new Apple releases tantalize the public with sleek new designs and exciting new features, this year, it’s all about what’s inside. However, there’s one pretty big difference this time around. The release of the brand new Mac mini is no exception. Whenever Apple announces new products, it’s an event.
