M1 brings incredible performance, custom technologies, and industry-leading power efficiency* to the Mac. It is a stunningly capable chip that redefines what MacBook Air can do.
The powerful CPU is complemented by an equally powerful GPU. M1 delivers discrete-class graphics power with up to 8 GPU cores. Each core contains 128 execution units for high throughput and advanced features.
MacBook Air also gets its biggest boost ever in battery life — with up to 15 hours of wireless web browsing and up to 18 hours of Apple TV app movie playback — that’s 6 more hours more than before.
