Welcome to the Tech Meme Ride Home for Tuesday, November 10th, 2020.

I'm Brian McCullough. Today, Apple's One More Thing, Mac Event.

The EU sues Amazon for antitrust, the

sling box is no more, and apparently the Magsafe Duo Charger is no good.

Here's what you miss today in the world of tech.

The one more thing event came to us this afternoon from the Apple Campus, which we got to see a lot more of, by the way.

That looked to you like the empty cafeteria right at the top of the show, right? the thing was about the Mac of course and specifically Max with Apple Silicon

inside say hello to the M1 the first chip designed by Apple for its Max though note that John Ternis VP of Hardware

Engineering mentioned a family of chips eventually so expect this to be the

first of several versions the M1 chip is a system on a chip,

unifying memory architecture, an integrated GPU, and a neural engine. It uses

five nanometer architecture, has 16 billion transistors. It's 8 core with 4 high

performance single thread cores and 4 high efficiency cores as well. Those 4 high

efficiency cores quoting Apple on their own deliver similar performance as current

dual core Macbook airs. Apple says this allows them to deliver the best performance

per watt in the industry. On the 8 core GPU Apple says a the 28 execution units up to 24, 276 concurrent threads and 2.6 teraflops.

And it's also got a 16-core neural engine.

Also if you were wondering there's a thunderbolt slash USB4 controller built in so even though we're transitioning away from Intel it's not losing that

Of course Apple always wants you to know it is hardware and software integrated right

So they wanted you to know that Mac OS big hardware and software integrated right.

So they wanted you to know that MacOS Big Sur

has been designed to maximize for the M1.
