Apple has notified its developers that the final (Gold Master) version of its Big Sur operating system looms. Â Apps that are compiled for the new operating system will automatically work with Apple Silicon as well as older systems.
Comparing Apple's claims for the Apple Silicon M1 chip to what it has already achieved in the A-series, Anandtech says it "believes" the quoted speed results.
During Apple's November 10 event launching new Macs with Apple Silicon M1 processors, the company made very many claims about the chip's performance and low-power capabilities. As is AppleInsider, tech deep-dive site Anandtech is waiting to test the new machines, but concludes that it "certainly believes" Apple's claims.

Apple’s M1, found in Macs such as the company’s Mac mini, MacBook Air, and 13-inch MacBook Pro, is the most powerful chip it has ever created and the first chip designed specifically for the Mac.
M1 combines numerous powerful technologies into a single chip, and features a unified memory architecture for dramatically improved performance and efficiency. Apple’s M1 is the first personal computer chip built using cutting-edge 5-nanometer process technology and is packed with 16 billion transistors, the most Apple has ever put into a chip.
M1 features the world’s fastest CPU core in low-power silicon, the world’s best CPU performance per watt, the world’s fastest integrated graphics in a personal computer, and breakthrough machine learning performance with the Apple Neural Engine. As a result, M1 delivers up to 3.5x faster CPU performance, up to 6x faster GPU performance, and up to 15x faster machine learning, all while enabling battery life up to 2x longer than previous-generation Macs. With its profound increase in performance and efficiency, M1 delivers the biggest leap ever for the Mac.
