Looks like my prediction in my previous blog aged perfectly. I am writing this after 3 years (so much for my consistency 😅) in my 14" Macbook pro with M1 pro chip. Many events happened between now and my first blog, Apple unveiled their 3rd gen Apple silicon the M3. We get to see so many improvements and it's just the 3rd generation of Apple silicon and the event title pretty much sums it up "scary fast", I'm not going blabber about that in this post, you can get that from their unveiling events. During the past years we can see the effect of Apple silicon on the mac sales as well, people now can actually see the benefits of RISC processors. I experienced the difference first hand, coming from my windows laptop, I now don't have to constantly worry about having a charger around. Now Qualcomm is catching up to the trend and is giving a fierce competition to Apple silicon, but Apple has got that head start advantage. Hopefully this competition leads to efficie

Ok let's get down to some real talk here, these new chips or chip architecture to be specific has got fundamental upgrade,they have gone to Reduced Instruction Set from Complex Instruction Set.I am not writing  a computer organisation article,so if you're curious by what they mean go search RISC VS CISC you'll get the Idea. What does this transition mean to us ?  you might ask ,well it means lot to mobile devices, by mobile devices i mean laptops and smartphones included.Smartphones have been using ARM instruction sets from about decade now. Wait what's ARM now ? actually ARM is the pioneer  for the RISC architecture,
