This is really the 12th generation of Apple's own chips, though - and the third of this particular design, if I recall correctly.

- JAlexoid 6y agoAre you claiming that A1 is in the same category as M1? If so... then Intel's latest chip generations should be traced back to 8088 in 1979.
- seniorivn 6y agothat's exactly how people describe Intel lineup And architectural similarities between their first 14nm chip and their last 10nm chips are as m1 is similar to a12z at least, may be even their first 64bit

- saagarjha 6y agoThere was never an A1; the first Apple-designed SoC was the A4 that shipped in iPad.
- bstar77 6y agoWhen I say first gen product, I mean the whole product, not just the chip used. It would be a very different situation if we were talking about an upgraded iPad with a new chip. This is a platform defining moment.
