Apple's M1 uses high-bandwidth memory to run like the clappers

I used to like The Register more when there was a separate UK site. It felt less homogenized. They still have articles which are better than most, like this one - whereas other sites just parrot the same things without detail, The Register actually expands on things.

We know that physically moving the memory to the top of the CPU carrier speeds it up, but other articles about the M1 just comment that it's not upgradable and that's all.

We need more sources like The Register.

Yep, most of the industry is just republishing press releases. The Register at least have some personality and some really good stuff there.

Regarding the chip, I wondered if Apple had suddenly became all that good chip makers, but it seems that they've traded some of the tradeoffs that others are not. We will see if it will pay off.
