All that empty space inside. Clearly following their past transitions, the first generation using the same housing to reduce overall project risk by doing not two things at once, even if the new motherboards mean lots of empty space inside. The second generation is where we'll probably see it shrink substantially. Same as the previous ISA transitions.

Having seen the internals you might guess Apple has something on its sleeve to go full throttle on the PC dominance race. A tiny 10 Watt M1 PC board with 4GB of integrated DDR5 RAM, 64GB SSD, and a price point of $299, with an external graphics capability. Running iOS apps natively is the main focus here.

Mac Mini!!! I was not really a fan of Apple products (PC/Windows die hard fan here) but I considered getting a Mac Mini. But this Mac Mini is not an M1, but a Late 2012 Mac Mini. It was upgraded to 16gb RAM and a 275gb SSD drive from Crucial. I am satisfied with how it performs on a Catalina, and I have yet to try dosdude's Monterey patch. I think it can handle it.

My question is will the next iPad Pro have an M1 or an A14x? My current iPad Pro with the A12z is already crazy fast. Right now tho I’m disappointed Adobe Premiere Rush doesn’t support the videos from my iPhone 12 Pro Max so I cant edit videos on my bed and actually have to sit on a chair in front of a computer so I can use premiere pro. If the next iPad gets the M1 I will definitely buy it. I’m actually thinking about getting the M1 Mac mini with 16 gb of ram. Problem is I just got laid off so money is gonna be tight for a while for me.

Can you plug the mac mini m1 usb-4 port into a display with a usb-c dp1.4 alt mode input support and pd [ power delivery ] 90w output and have that power the device, i.e. like a thunderbolt/usb-c enabled laptop, versus having to also plug the mac mini m1 into a power source?

100% the 10 gig issue is the same reason there is only 2 thunderbolt ports. The M1 doesn't have that bandwidth/PCIe lanes for more. Maybe in the M2 but this chip has some serious limitations

I imagine there's no SODIMM option because there isn't a "normal" memory controller on the M1 SoC, so to add SODIMM support they'd have to also add a suitable memory controller, and bring all those needed signals off-chip.

x86 is more and more using RISC inside it's cores and wrapping it in CISC, to run x86 instruction set. They are getting more similar than you'd think. On the other hand, arm is making more powerful cores. I think they will coexist and intel and amd wont have problems because of arm...

[@notjulesatall]

AMD's SAM is nothing close to a fabric like Apple's. Apple has a shared memory approach which means all components share the same memory, which is very different from being able to access another processor's memory. In Apple's case compute units go as far as sharing an L2 cache which is insanely more tightly integrated than having CPU and GPU speaking over PCI-E. In terms of computing this means you can do GPU offloading at zero cost. If Apple comes up with an Nvidia-like programming model where they provide a compiler that can translate some C++ standard algorithms straight into GPU accelerated algorithms, they would pretty much destroy the competition when it comes to high-throughput computing for which GPUs are heavily optimized. If you want to get an idea of how fast it would get, you might want to look at Nvidia's dev blog where they compare a Tegra TX2 against a 200W, 14 core Xeon E5-2690 for machine learning workloads: developer.nvidia.com/blog/jetson-tx2-delivers-twice-intelligence-edge/ Apple didn't invent anything with that architecture really. This kind of design was just waiting for a more mature CPU architecture to be put in mainstream computers.

[@EriksWorld14]

interesting - appreciate that little bit of insight! :D

[@DrFeederino]

This probably has more to do with debate of UMA vs NUMA memory models. Apple went for UMA now and its fabric is the biggest bottleneck in terms of bandwidth. That's probably we don't see 10 gigabit or eGPU support, esp. the latter as it would destroy the controller. We need UMA vs NUMA techquickie!

So far I'm happy with my M1 Mini but I must say with all that empty space they should have put in a larger speaker. The one they have now sounds worse than the built-in speakers in my PCs from the late 1980s. Which is odd because Apple sells more speakers than any other company on earth.

I wonder what kind of RAMs are on board, and how the CPU access it, wide of the BUS, singe/dual/quad channel?

[@hunterchasens835]

With how small the entire thing is (not including the case) I could see them being used in blade servers. They're cheap, small, low power, have high compute per watt, and don't produce a lot of heat. Unfortunately, they can't be upgraded (for understandable reasons). If it weren't for that I could imagine large datacenters fulls of these striped mac minis. They're only twice the size of a raspberry pi. The cluster computing potential could be enormous if it weren't limited by its small io, buss size, and ARM processor. If it weren't for its slow 1Gbps port I think it would be great for multiple high availability servers with load balancers.

The old powerPC CPU's were RISC chips....Apple is just going back to RISC with ARM.

I guess you could use USB to 10Gb Ethernet adapter if you really need that, although apparently it can be quite expensive (although I remember Apple's option was $100 too, so actually prices are somewhat comparable to a dongle). But yeah, that's stupid and doesn't make much sense not to include 10GbE as an option.

[@yogaexe]

It make sense because m1 is for an entry level devices. 10gb Ethernet is not for an entry level.

[@skirata3144]

Definitely a bandwith issue with the M1 chip. It only supports two displays as well which Imo is terrible especially for the notebooks since they already “include” 1 display internally which eliminates dual monitors at a desk for them.

[@thebuddercweeper]

@@skirata3144 You're talking about entry-level 13" laptops and a mini desktop here, no one who bought these previously was hooking them up to 16 Pro Display XDRs. if you absolutely need to have more than one external monitor connected to the laptops or two on the desktops then wait for the higher-end 13" MacBook Pro or Mac mini to get Apple silicon.

color does indicate pro / consumer. anyone doing critical work still need the more expensive, slower, but more reliable Mac. at least for next 6 - 12 months.

[@Charlesb88]

Actually, 10gb Ethernet is an option on the M1 Mac Mini (or at least theoretically), just not through a built-in Ethernet Port. You’ll have to use a external dongle but you can buy a 10Gb Ethernet to ThunderBolt 3 dongle from OWC. Thus 10gb Ethernet does appear to be an option for the M1-based Mac Mini which support TB3, even if not built-in. Of course I don’t know if any driver issue might exist that might prevent this dongles use on the M1 Mac Mini since I don’t think anyone has tested this solution out yet given the M1 Mac Mini was just released.
