So they are essentially a combination of chips rather than a combination of logical units. I always assumed these ‘chips’ are made of logical units like computer cpus 20 years ago with different logical units but that is not true. This is probably why the M1 is better than the microsoft’s ARM implementation because probably Apple is not going the processor route and instead more tightly integrating these logical units reducing latency. This is definitely more work but the it’s probably worth it when you control every bit of the pipeline which is not possible when the pipeline is made of several vendors with their SDKs like on snapdragon based windows laptop.
