I don’t understand what Apple 1-9 are. At first I thought it was M series chips but there is no M9 (yet)

- wtallis 2mo agoSo those generation numbers aren't really anchored to Apple's hardware designs. It's just counting from when Apple introduced the Metal API, and the first several generations were when the GPU cores Apple was using were still nominally PowerVR designs.
- frabonacci 2mo agoyeah the naming is confusing. Apple family 9 isnt M9, it's a Metal GPU feature family. Apple maps family 7 to M1, family 8 to M2, family 9 to M3/M4, and family 10 to M5
