Apple only says that it can handle up to 25,000 concurrent threads.īut from what we can tell, it has 128 execution units with an FP32 performance of 2.6 teraflops per second, a 82 GT/s texture fill rate, and a 41 GP/s pixel fill rate. The M1 uses an Apple-designed 8-core GPU, of which very little is known. It has a smaller 4 MB shared L2 cache, with a 64 KB dedicated L1 cache for each Icestorm core. The E Cluster, on the other hand, is designed for a low power consumption of just 1.3 watts. It has a large 12 MB shared L2 cache, with a 128 KB dedicated L1 cache for each Firestorm core.
