This is Apple's proprietary design, which takes some of the items already used in Apple's A14 Bionic processor (used in the iPhone 12) and processors for the iPhone and iPad and expands them. What's really worth talking about with the new MacBook Air is Apple's M1 processor. Apple has done a surprisingly good job at getting applications to run on the new silicon.

It has proven quite speedy in day-to-day use. Over the past couple of months, I've been using one of the new Apple MacBook Airs based on Apple's proprietary M1 processor, and I've been very impressed.
