It's interesting that all the chips are branded as the M1 - I wonder if there are any clock, memory or cache differences between the devices?

- ryanferg 6y agoI'd imagine thermal throttling will be responsible for actual performance differences across devices (but this is just a guess)
- andy_ppp 6y agoYes I'm waiting for the shop to open to find out if they can be configured - I bet not. EDIT: the store does not let you configure anything but the RAM which is absurdly expensive.
- nicoburns 6y agoI'm pretty sure they're all identical chips. No doubt there are clocking differences. But that may be automatic based on thermals and not actually represent a difference in the actual chip.
- rehangs_plot 6y agoThe base model m1 air has a 7 core gpu compared with 8 core in the others.
- aaomidi 6y agoIt probably has 8 cores, just that one failed and they disabled it. Making CPUs is expensive and a faulty process. A lot of CPU given any release is the same high end CPU with faulty cores disabled.
