This one’s been requested a lot–hope you enjoy!
Wherein Dr. Know-it-all discusses Apple’s new M1 chip, with an integrated System on Chip, and of special interest, the neural engine. How will this RISC/ARM based computer chip hold up to the IBM hegemony? How will the M1 do on battery life? And especially, what the heck is the neural engine, and how does it help AI and Machine Learning. What is the common use-case for the M1 Neural Engine? Could a Mac Mini train real world Machine Learning models? Watch and find out!

thank you for speaking on this!! it’s truly amazing what they did with that chip. the whole mac lineup is gonna be unbeatable
4:35 actually, they started with A4!
Actually, ARM-based laptops already exist. The MS Surface Pro X is just one example.
I thought it was pretty obvious that the (x86) architecture was dead, when Intel allowed AMD to catch up. And then surpass INTEL in performance of the(x86). I think that (Optane ) memory that INTEL spent a good chunk of time perfecting. I think it will play an enormous role in a neural processor. And when it all settled down, A (worthy) processor will emerge.
ARM is doomed. RISC V will crush it. RISCV is to ARM, as Linux is to Windows. Much more customizable, with instruction set
extensions to allow new applications like ML. Examples:

seems like most of your episode is based on information you gathered. We appreciate if you can go in-depth into the topics with your own expertise/analysis.
Can you please cover the black boxes within neural networks. Do computers actually make up their own intermediate all purpose secret languages for translation purposes and could such a language by useful for us to use (a computer's version of Esperanto?)?
wow. I think your info is a bit out of date. All so-called CISC processors went to a RISC-style microcode a long time ago. The whole CISC versus RISC thing is not relevant anymore.
Also, I hope this works out as Intel has been not innovating for many years, which is the real reason the M1 is doing so well. It is 5nm and that accounts for most of its performance and power usage numbers that you mistakenly attribute to CISC vs RISC.
I'm really enjoying your videos. Your topics are exactly what I enjoy speculating about. Great Job! Could I ask you to do an episode about LTE, 5G and the new 6G network protocols. You could also comment on Dishy Mcflatface from Starlink if you have any info on that.
"why is it so disruptive?" It's not. It's a modern ARM-SoC like the Snapdragon lineup, with the performance advantage you would expect looking at the higher power consumption.
The disruptive part is that Apple's Desktop OS – including a wide range of applications – runs on such an ARM-SoC now, and Microsoft's cannot.
13:50, the crux of the matter, only inferencing
Oh boy. Years of buggy code and broken apps coming soon. Not to mention intrusive spyware.
Do youes knows abouts the Walsh Hadamard transform?
SISK chips have highly developed branch prediction & pre-executuion thats why the're so performant
You tell us see the links below, but none of them are there!
1:19 …… Not "Attempting" ….. this mainstream product is in the mass market….. They have succeeded…… and not to be crass but Apple is going to sell a poop load of the M1 equipped Macs over the Q4 2020 and Q1 2021 ….. and many more with improved M-series chips in the not-so-distant future…….
Super interesting topic thank you
This is a good content foor sure!!!! OVER CLOCK M1 CHip if you can!!!!!
Way too many ads…you need to develop your audience base first.
I just think back on all the apple stuff I never bought and sent to a landfill. Looks like a continuous upgrade venture to me
4:52 Not actually die size but features size
so many fuckups in this video, I cant take you seriously.
