M1, Is this the new future?

Image
Apple recently unveiled their M1 series chips,which they are claiming to have some interesting increases in performance.To prove their point they've shown some graphs without labels, not so good move.If you are so sure about some products performance you give actual numbers/show actual figures  relative to some other product or previous generations. 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,
