Apple Silicon is Apple’s fabless SoC platform. The M1 newsroom introduction defines a system-on-chip with CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O and unified memory on a single package so those engines share one memory pool.
Apple’s 10 November 2020 newsroom introduction of M1 describes CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O and unified memory on one package so those engines share a single memory pool. Later M-series chips continue that architecture rather than defining separate catalog listings. This row records the SoC and unified-memory platform, not a foundry process and not every M-series generation. Neural Engine remains part of this architecture rather than a standalone listing. Apple is represented as a custom-silicon designer, not a semiconductor foundry. Architectural details should be confirmed on Apple’s official newsroom materials.
