8-core CPU
Devours tasks.
Sips battery.
M1 has the fastest CPU Apple has ever made. With that kind of processing speed, MacBook Air can take on new extraordinarily intensive tasks like professional‑quality editing and action‑packed gaming. But the 8‑core CPU on M1 isn’t just up to 3.5x faster than the previous generation² — it balances high‑performance cores with efficiency cores that can still speed through everyday jobs while using just a tenth of the power.
