A Mac with Apple Silicon inside isn’t just noticeably faster than their Intel counterparts; it’s capable of a few other exclusive features too. Here is what an Apple Silicon-based Mac can do that the Intel Macs can’t.

This inevitably brings up the question of what are the differences — other than pure performance — between an Apple processor and an Intel one.
