The 10 Gb Ethernet port can theoretically max out at 10Gb, while the 1Gb maxes out at a tenth of that. Each Thunderbolt 3 port can max out at 40Gb/s. While Apple has lauded the M1's performance, note that they have substantially restricted the amount of data that has to travel in and out the M1's ports. What these limitations may imply about the M1Īpple tends to update its chips annually, and we can be pretty confident the M1 will be replaced by an M2 next year. I'm wondering if the ones where all the RAM bits work go into 16GB machines and the ones that have failures go into the 8GB machines with their failed bits blocked by the OS or onboard controllers.Ĭontrast this minimal RAM footprint with the spacious 2018 Intel Mac mini. It's possible (probable, even) that the 8GB and 16GB come from the same chip die. But there could be yield issues with the M1. Honestly, in 2020, even fabricating an 8GB chip seems parsimonious. But the 2020 M1 ships with only 8GB or 16GB.
