Once a precedent is set for user-expandable ARM-based systems, x86's days are numbered.

Apple will of course eventually be transitioning the Mac Pro to ARM (probably the very last model to switch), and with the disaster of the trashcan Mac Pro still fresh in their minds, they must know the new model will need to be user-upgradeable.
In fact, this is likely the start of a major shift in the PC market to ARM as well. When the 16" Pro, iMac, and more get the new architecture probably next year, I fully expect to see ARM-based GPUs at least matching the performance of RTX 3000's if not beating them. But wait until we see what Apple considers a high-power ARM chip. Apple made the right decision by transitioning its lowest-price models first due to the potential compatibility issues (Although Rosetta 2 is amazing, the inability to run x86 Windows remains a problem for a lot of us gamers.) Apple's goal with the M1 is to set a new standard, outperforming all previous Intel Mac Mini's, Macbook Airs, and even some older i7 Macbook Pros with a faction of the power usage and heat output.ĭoes the integrated GPU outperform modern gaming PC's? Not at all. Remember, the M1 is just the first iteration of this architecture, and it's not meant to be a high-powered chip.

But no, the M1 is not an upgrade from your $4000 tricked-out 16" Macbook Pro, iMac Pro, etc.
If you have an Intel Macbook Air or a 13" Pro, the M1 is a huge upgrade. There seems to be a lot of confusion on this.
